But if you'd like the case
handled by these chambers,

:14:03
- I'd recommend Mr Brogan-Moore.
- Yes. A very able man.

:14:07
- I second Sir Wilfrid's recommendation.
- All right, sir, if you say so.

:14:15
Hold this.
:14:20
Carter?
:14:22
I would like to see Brogan-Moore here
as soon as he comes in from court.

:14:26
Sir Wilfrid, I have never
known such insubordination.

:14:28
Not even as a nurse during the war.
:14:31
What war was that?
The Crimean War, no doubt.

:14:35
You'll like Brogan-Moore,
he's had excellent training. Under me.

:14:39
This morning I had no lawyers at all
and now suddenly I have three.

:14:43
We should explain
that I have very little money.

:14:46
I shan't be able to pay
all the costs and fees.

:14:48
We'll get a fourth lawyer to sue you.
:14:50
He won't get very much.
I haven't had a job in four months.

:14:53
- What sort of work do you do?
- Well, uh...

:14:56
My last job was as a mechanic.
The foreman kept riding me all the time.

:15:02
- I took it as long as I could, then I quit.
- And before that?

:15:05
I worked in a department store, in toys,
demonstrating children's building sets.

:15:09
Of course, it lasted only during Christmas.
Before that I tested electric blankets.

:15:14
- Electric blankets?
- I suppose you think I'm a bit of a drifter.

:15:19
It's true, in a way,
but I'm really not like that.

:15:21
My army service unsettled me. That and
living abroad. I was stationed in Germany.

:15:26
It was fine there, though.
That's where I met my wife.

:15:29
She was an actress, and a good one.
She's a wonderful wife to me, too.

:15:33
But I haven't been much of a provider,
I'm afraid.

:15:36
Somehow, I just don't seem able to settle
down now I've come back to this country.

:15:40
- If I could just put my eggbeater across.
- Eggbeater?

:15:45
Yes, sir. I, uh, I'm a bit of an inventor.
Nothing big, just little household things.

:15:50
Pocket pencil sharpeners,
key chain flashlights.

:15:53
But my best is really this eggbeater.
:15:56
It not only beats,
it also separates the yolk from the white.

:15:59
Is that really desirable?
