ln fact, it's the

British Museum of Poo.

Have you gone

completely insane,

Blenkinsop?

Mummy would never send me

to a place like this.

Take me home.

(WlNDOW SQUEAKlNG)

(SCREAMlNG)

You see? There are savages.

l refuse to leave the car.

Oh, put a sock in it, Ceels.

We've got no choice.

Take me home,

right now!

And you know why

we've got no choice, too,

so let's just stop pretending

we're here because of bombs.

CELlA:
They're probably

cannibals.

(EXCLAlMS lN DlSGUST)

Did you see that

thing at the window?

Greetings,

O covered-in-poo people.

Do you speak English?

You're early.

Yes, poo-man,

we have come from far away.

Far, from the land of

soap and indoor toilets.

ls that a Fry's chocolate bar

with cinder-crunch topping?

Yes, it is.

Would you like some?

Pity,

there's none left.

BLENKlNSOP:
Come on,

Miss Celia.

CELlA:
Please, Blenkinsop!

That's rotten.

CYRlL:
That's life.

CELlA:
l'll tell Mummy!

Now, don't be like that,

Miss Celia.

Let go!

Let go of the drinks

cabinet, Miss Celia!

No!

Look here, mister.

l think you'd better

take these two great

perfumed townies

back where they belong.

l just want to go home!

(EXCLAlMlNG)

CELlA:
This place is awful.

lt's an awful place.

(GlGGLlNG)

(EXCLAlMlNG lN HORROR)

My shoes!

l refuse to stay

in this cesspit.

l'd rather be bombed.

Promise me you'll tell Mummy

how awful it is here.

Please, Blenkinsop,

she's got to come

get me tomorrow.

Promise me!

You've only been

here for five minutes,

and look at you.

And you're just

a chauffeur.

Master Cyril,

if you'd be so kind,

just hold your arms out

for Miss Celia's new clothes.

Promise me!

l'll talk to your mother,

Miss Celia, l promise.

But for now,

you'll have to stay here.

They can't stay here.

They're rude.

CYRlL:
That's rich,

coming from someone who

clearly doesn't even know

how to wipe his own bottom.

NORMAN:
Come here, you.

What?

CELlA:
Stop! My clothes.

My beautiful new clothes.

(GASPlNG)

They're all in the mud.

How dare you!

You're trampling them.

l should have enlisted.

CELlA:
You wait until

l tell my mother.

(GASPS)

My beautiful clothes.

They're ruined.

(SCREAMlNG)

You monsters,

l'll kill you for this!

Well, that's me off,

Mrs. Docherty.

l've just enough time

to get home and

finish tidying

before the cousins

arrive tomorrow.

Oh, that's nice, dear.

All my cousins are dead.

Good night.

Good night.

Give my love

to Mr. Docherty.

l will.

There's that finished, then.

What?

l've just put away

the syrup.

What? Where?

lt's all done and dusted.

There's absolutely

nothing to worry about.

Oh, have a little faith,

why don't you?

(HUMMlNG)

(DRAWER RUMBLlNG)

(SYRUP BUBBLlNG)

Oh.

''Have a little faith,''

she says.

''Nothing to worry about,''

she says. Oh, no, no,

nothing at all.

Children at each

other's throats,

tractor about to

be repossessed,

Phil trying to

sell the farm out

from under us,

guests coming in 24 hours,

my only good coat, ruined,

and 1 7 drawers

full of syrup!

There's bugger-all

to eat in here,

except this.

NORMAN:
No!

Dad's jam!

Put the jam down.

(SCOFFS)

lt's only jam.

ln case you hadn't noticed,

there's a war on.

We saved our sugar

coupons for months

to make that jam.

You touch it,

and l'll mash you.

Whoops.

Touched it.

and this will all

be a nasty dream.

My maid tells me

they have arrived,

so Mummy and l have

come to collect them.

Would you go and

and there'll be

some pink patent pumps.

Ceels, catch.

CELlA:

a beautiful pair in mauve
