"What full fortune
doth the thick lips owe."

1:15:03
- What does that mean?
- Philistine.

1:15:06
It baffles me that you're baffled,
Barrington.

1:15:09
The Hottentot in the desert
doesn't play cricket.

1:15:12
His natural habitation
being the jungly-bungly tree...

1:15:16
...he is as yet hardly able
to walk upright, don't you know?

1:15:19
We strive to bring them civilisation...
1:15:23
...and this is their gratitude.
1:15:27
Did you know that 56 families were
slaughtered on the Island of Skye?

1:15:32
- Really? When was that?
- In '82, I think.

1:15:35
And who perpetrated the outrage, pray?
1:15:38
- Oh, merely the, er... English militia.
- Extraordinary.

1:15:42
Buon appetito.
1:15:49
Shall we indulge in another dozen?
1:15:51
- I rather think we ought, don't you?
- I think we might.

1:15:54
- Would you care for a second fish, Lely?
- No.

1:15:57
Or a veritable shoal, perhaps?
1:15:59
I've had an ample sufficiency,
thank you, my wee man.

1:16:04
I have an appointment
with Carte this afternoon.

1:16:06
- At what hour?
- Five o'clock.

1:16:09
Curious.
I shall be with him at half past four.

1:16:12
That's funny. I don't have
a meeting with him at four o'clock.

1:16:16
And it is my firm intention
to prise open his purse.

1:16:19
It will take a far stronger man
than you, Mr Barrington...

1:16:22
...to fulfil that Herculean labour.
1:16:25
What's "your" mission, Captain Grossmith?
1:16:28
Oh, there are certain little matters.
1:16:32
I should like to offer you
an increase in salary.

1:16:34
- Oh? Indeed?
- Indeed.

1:16:38
- That's most benevolent of you.
- It's no less than you deserve.

1:16:41
Thank you.
And by how much, might one enquire?

1:16:45
By 7 1/2 per cent.
1:16:48
Mm.
1:16:51
7 1/2.
1:16:53
Now, that would work out at, er...
1:16:56
- £30 per week.
- 30! Mm.

1:16:58
I see. Well, £30 per week
wasn't quite the sum I had in mind...
