(Pheasants squawk)

Oh, they're waking up!

The pills seem to be wearing off.

- All right.

- Dad, they'll shoot them!

They'll shoot us too if they see them.

- Go on, Danny!

- Get out!

Get him, Danny! Get him!

Pheasants!

(Car horn)

(Crash)

Out the way!

(Tyres screech)

(Pheasants squawk)

Get off the paint!

Well, well, well. I've got you this time.

Hazell! You're in for it now, my lad.

Dangerous driving

without due care and attention.

- Ah! The very man I wanted to see.

- Mm?

Do something useful for a change

and arrest this man.

Arrest him? What for?

Don't pretend to be more of a fool

than you are. For stealing pheasants!

- There's enough evidence!

- Are you claiming these as yours?

- Of course they're my birds, you blockhead!

- I'm not so sure about that, sir.

You're not so sure about that?!

Well, whose bloody birds are they?

Language, sir! Please!

At the present moment, sir,

these birds is on Mr Smith's land.

In which case, er...

these be Mr Smith's birds.

- That's the law.

- No doubt about it. Quite right. It's the law.

What?

- Mr Smith.

- Yes?

Hazell, Hazell.

Do I understand that you still own this land?

- I certainly do.

- I see...

My name is Charles Tallon.

Premier Building Corporation.

- If you're thinking of selling...

- Which I'm not.

I didn't think you were.

I'm afraid the deal's off.

Something tells me you won't

be building your new town here.

- New town? Hazell, what the -

- Shut up, you doddering old fool!

Blast you.

- Blast you all!

- (Laughter)

(Pheasants squawk)

Excuse me, I...

We don't understand the er...

It's simple. Hazell was never

interested in pheasants or shooting.

He was going to use

the whole of his estate for a new town.

Luckily for you, Mr Smith here

seems to have saved the day.

Not me.

Danny.

If he hadn't rescued me from the wood,

- Hazell would have forced me to sell.

- I rather think he would.

Oh, then it's three cheers for Danny!

- Hip hip...

- (All) Hooray!

- Hip hip...

- (All) Hooray!

God bless you, Danny boy!

- Hip hip...

- (All) Hooray!

(Man) Well done, Danny! Well done!

(All sing)

# For he's a jolly good fellow

# For he's a jolly good fellow

# For he's a jolly good fellow...

# And so say all of us! #

(Cheering)

(Cheering and shouting)

Well done!
