Carry on Cruising Page #9

Prunes?

l'm afraid that this speech really isn't very much

in response to your generosity, but l...

Chop suey?

But there isn't anything else l can say except...

thank you very much.

Well said.

(Slurred) Ssh! Quiet, everyone!

lt's my turn.

Ladies and...gentlemen,

Captain,

on behalf of all us happy...wanderers...

and crikey, l've done some happy wandering

on this ship in my time...

..jolly good luck,

and may we all have the pleasure

of sailing with you for many years to come.

- My condolences, sir.

- What for?

lt appears you didn't get command

of the transatlantic run.

l did. But l don't want it.

Ladies and gentlemen, please.

l'm not very good at making speeches,

as you've already heard.

Hear hear, sir.

But l do know the difference between

just ferrying passengers and running a cruise.

There's a good feeling about looking

after people who are out to enjoy themselves.

After all, when we're on a trip like this,

we're all in the same boat!

- (Laughs)

- (Laughs insincerely)

So what else can l do but carry on cruising?

Any questions?

Oh, yes, sir. Will you marry me?

(Laughter)

Oh, no! l didn't mean... l mean us, sir.

- Oh, her! Congratulations.

- Thank you.

CAPTAlN:
Congratulations.

Turner! Champagne!

- Doctor! Doctor!

- Haines! What is it?

- Seasick.

- What did that?

- The Captain's cake!

- Was it the chop suey?

- (Groans)

- The Bombay duck?

- l know how you feel. l'll give you an injection.

- No, please! Not again!

l'll get you one of those special tablets.

Wait there.

(Screams)
