:07:05
Good afternoon.
:07:10
Won't you be seated?
:07:20
- May I continue?
- Oh, yes.

:07:23
Thank you.
:07:25
Your course here will be
for a minimum of five years.

:07:29
Those of you
who at the end of that time

:07:31
satisfy the examiners
you have sufficient skill

:07:34
will receive your degrees and be
entitled to call yourselves "Doctor".

:07:39
It will require the greatest
hard work, application

:07:43
and serious-mindedness from you.
:07:46
For your first two years
:07:48
you will study biochemistry,
physiology, anatomy and pathology.

:07:53
Three minutes shorter than usual.
:07:56
Did he do female patients
and professional etiquette?

:07:59
- I think he mentioned it.
- He must have speeded up.

:08:02
- You heard it before?
- Three times.

:08:04
Three times?!
You must be a very senior...

:08:07
Not a bit.
I haven't passed an exam yet.

:08:10
Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I...
:08:12
Don't be. I always fail on purpose.
Shall we see the Padre?

:08:16
- Is that what you usually do?
- That's what I do. Come on.

:08:19
- Hello, Padre.
- Mr Grimsdyke. Nice to see you.

:08:24
- Nice to see you. How are you?
- Fine, thanks.

:08:27
- Good. Meet... What's your name?
- Sparrow. Simon Sparrow.

:08:31
- Glad to meet you, sir. New?
- Yes.

:08:33
I expect we'll be seeing a lot
of you. What'll it be, gentlemen?

:08:37
- Two pints, please. Beer all right?
- Guinness.

:08:40
Make one a Guinness, Padre. He's been
here years. Nobody knows his name.

:08:44
- We call him the Padre.
- Why?

:08:47
- Why? Shall we tell him?
- Yes.

:08:49
Well,
the patients might get a bit upset

:08:52
if the doctor
said he was popping to the pub,

:08:55
but if he says he's going to chapel,
they're quite impressed.
