Genevieve Page #7

You started all that.

You can't even cheat

on a decent basis.

You let us think

you'd been killed.

Ah hah, ah well, the report of my

death was, uh...

...what was it the man said?

Greatly Exaggerated.

Who cared about your death.

I was thinking

about Wendy.

If it weren't for Wendy, I'd give you

a lesson you'd never forget.

Have you ever seen

anything like it?

- Is it really like this every year.

- Not quite like this.

Now, if you really feel in

an instructive mood.

I warn you,

I'm almost at breaking point.

Go on then break.

- I warn you.

- Then what are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for?

What goes on inside their heads

that's what I'd like to know.

I don't know about your husband,

but Ambrose seems to think of only two things.

That silly old car, and the other thing.

- What other thing?

Oh, no. My husband

only thinks about the car.

Oh, dear.

Now then. Now then.

Oh, no!

All right. Come on. Break it up.

Break it up. Break it up.

Well, don't look at me.

He started all this!

I was only thinking of her.

First, you decide to

stage a race on a public highway.

Not in sound cars. With decent brakes.

But in two museum pieces.

Which were out of date 40 years ago.

- Officer, really.

Then, you go tearing through

a restricted area at 50 miles per hour.

- He can't do 50 miles per hour.

- Then you put in false reports to the police.

Then you decide you can't be satisfied unless

you bash each other's brains out.

There was nothing to it.

Really.

Now, we wouldn't like you gentlement to think

we're being unreasonable

- Oh, thank you very much.

- But if there's one more...

...bit of trouble from either of you.

We'll pull you in on so many

different charges.

You won't be out in time

for next year's Brighton run.

Let's go. These two are

driving me balmy.

All right, come on now.

All over.

You shouldn't encourage

them, you know.

Well!

This is the end! Making a public spectacle

of yourselves.

I wouldn't of believed you could have

behaved like this.

Either of you!

Just hauling like brooligans.

Hauling like brooligans?

Well,

brawling like hooligans.

He was hauling like a

brooligan, not me.

Don't you call me a brooligan.

It's not funny!

Oh, goodness sake let's go home.

All right. Let's call the

whole thing off and have a party.

Look, the pub will be open

in ten minutes, what do you say?

- All right. That's a good idea.

- Come on. Let's go.

- Got you're sure, lovely cream.

- Yes. Let's have four doubles.

All out, or take them with you?

What are you laughing about?

- Look! Hi dee. Oh!

- Doubles all around!

Cheers, my dear.

I was wondering what that

chap you backed into told his wife.

Tell me. How did you get

behind us back at pease cottage.

We picked up an expectant father

looking for the district nurse.

In the time I wasted with him.

I could have delivered the brat myself.

These are good.

You know, everything being said,

we've made jolly good time.

Oh, I don't know.

If we'd really wanted to

we could have been in London 2 hours ago.

Why weren't you, then.

I didn't want to take your money,

old sport.

Ask Rosalind.

Didn't I say to you...

If you didn't want to take the

money, why did you make the bet?

Well.

Heat of the moment, old boy.

As soon I realized you hadn't a chance.

A chance? We were ahead of you!

Now, look.

But there are still

nine miles to the bridge.

You don't think you could

have stayed ahead of us, do you.

I most certainly do.

What difference does it make,

who's ahead of who?

It makes every difference.

It was his idea we call off the race.

Do you really think

you'd stand an earthly?

I've a good mind to

hold you to that bet.

Hold me? As far as I'm concerned.

The bet's still on.

- Oh, you're not serious.

- Right!

But if that old crock of yours falls

to pieces you've asked for it.

Come on Rosalind.

- First on westminster bridge.

- You're on.

Here we go again.

What?

Can't you be reasonable?

We gave you a chance

to call it off.

Look, there's just one thing.

Whatever you think of that car,

she'd fetch a 100 pounds tomorrow.

- Is that right?

- Oh, easily. But I...

All right. The bet's still on.

But if I lose, I won't pay you a 100

- I'll give you Genevieve.

- Genevieve?

- Oh, look Alan.

- That's fair enough, isn't it?

- Well...

- First over the bridge.

First over the bridge.

Get in, Rosalind.

But, Alan, surely you don't...

There's no money involved.

I'm betting the car.

It's got nothing whatsoever

to do with you.

If you don't like it

you can get out and take a bus.

Look, don't you think this

is getting a little out of...

What has it got to do with you?

You heard what he said.

Either get out of this car and...

...take that silly mutt with you

or stop your blasted nattering.

That truck of yours

falls to pieces.

Silly ass!

- You really think you can beat him?

- Of course I can.

- First on westminster bridge!

- Ok!

Come on, Alan.

Come on, quickley!

Come along.

Come along.

We're in a race.

Let's go.

Hurry!

They're going!

Take it away!

- Leave me alone.

- Hurry up. Come on.

I want my ice cream!

Take it off the...

Hurry up.

Come on!

Before I...

- She's missing!

- They're coming!

- They're coming.

- Can't be the...

Come on.

They're coming.

They're coming!

Oh, come on.

They're coming!

Oh, Alan, faster, faster!

Come on!

What's this?

This is ridiculous.

Get outta here!

Move on, madame.

Woman driver.

Get out of it!

Get out of the way,

madame!

Go along.

Go on. Pull over.

Pull out. Madame.

Look, look at the lorry.

I want to get outta here.

I'm in a race.

Go away.

Come on, chum. Back out of it.

I want to get outta here.

Get that other car to move.

Oh, blast!

He's coming.

You wait!

- That cop is on my side.

- It's not over yet!

Who... Whoosh.

It's a Darracq!

A Darracq, sir.

On, my word, sir. Forgive me

speaking to you without an introduction.

She's beautiful, sir. Beautiful!

This's the first car I

ever owned, sir, Darracq.

Aristocrats. All of 'em.

But, there's not a scratch her!

I'm sorry sir.

You have to excuse me.

First car that I ever owned,

sir, a Darracq.

- I'm sorry, sir, you have to excuse me.

- I would never have believed it possible!

If you knew the pleasure it gives

me to see this wonderful car.

So wonderfully kept.

It's almost too good...

I wish my wife was here.

Yes sir, do you know...

...it was a Darracq exactly like

this one that I asked my wife to marry me.

1904, so it was, pangbourne.

And she said yes. But, oh...

It was the car. I'm sure of that.

It was the car.

I hope I'm not holding you up.

No at all, sir.

I knew there were chaps like you.

You know. Keeping up these old cars.

We don't get about as much

as we used to, you know.

No.

Look, perhaps you's like me to come over.

I'll give you a drive in it, sometime.

But uh... Do mean to say...

But that's very kind...

you would really do that?
