Why did it, Fred?

How the dickens

do i know?

The silly things

you ask.

What the hell do

we do now?

That's the question.

Well, we want a boat

or a raft or something.

You don't tell me.

Fred, hadn't we better go and

find some clothes or something?

Somebody might come.

Yes, that's very likely.

Let's see

what's in here.

I'd better give yo

u a hand with these.

All right?

Yes.

That's better.

Ha ha!

Ohh...

he set next to me

at dinner.

Let's go.

Phew.

It's getting

on my nerves.

I need a drink.

I know. Let's

go down to the bar.

We'll have brandy.

It'll warm us up.

Here we are.

I tell you one thing:

We'd better get a move on

and find some way out of this,

make a raft

or something.

Fred.

Mm-hmm.

Here. Listen.

What?

Do you think it's mad

if i use the gentleman's?

Ours is underwater.

Yes. Go on.

No sense in being

suburban.

Listen.

Fred, look!

A chinese junk.

Give me your hand.

That's right.

There we are.

Ohh!

Uh, good afternoon.

Fred, look!

She's going

to have a baby.

Seems all right, em.

Mm! Best meal

i've eaten for ages.

Much better than all those

swell meals we had in paris.

Mm!

I like being

shipwrecked.

It's not half as bad

as people make out.

Hmm. Nothing ever is.

Why, this is as good

as yachting.

Hi!

Dullard dummies,

aren't they?

Ah...

Hello. What's

the old boy up to?

Help me up, Fred.

Ok.

Ooh! Sat on a knot.

I'll tell you

one thing, em.

What's that?

That ship going down has done us

a bit of good in a way, you know.

Well, don't you see?

That 1,000 pounds

i gave... i lost

well, we can say it

went down with the ship.

Why, yes.

And then we'll be

able to get some more

and buy some clothes

and things when we land.

Yes. When we land.

Fred, do you

hear that?

It's a baby.

What do you mean?

That woman's had

her baby.

How could she?

Well, anyway,

she has.

Isn't it wonderful

i'd better go and

see if i can help.

Better keep

out of it, em.

They don't want us.

We'd only be in the way.

I suppose so.

There, there.

Don't cry, em, old dear.

Why, these damn chinese

breed like rabbits.

We're all right, em.

We've got each other.

Oh, the poor

little mite.

Gosh, isn't it ugly?

You mustn't do that!

You mustn't!

No newly born baby

could stand it!

Stop it, stop!

Don't be silly, em.

How would you like

a chinaman to tell you

how to manage your baby?

Besides, look

how strong it is.

I bet that chap

holding it is the father.

See how proud

he is of it?

I made a nice steak

and kidney pudding

and i've ordered

the papers

and i had the wireless

batteries charged.

Have issued the following gale warning.

Strong northwesterly gales all

coasts of the british isles.

Rain in most districts,

some hail or sleet locally.

Channel crossings

extremely rough.

What are you

looking at, Fred?

I was wondering if we could

get a pram down that passage.

But are we

going to be here?

What? Why not?

When you get your new job

as traveler for the firm,

i'm going to a bigger,

better house than this.

Oh, what do you

want to move for?

There won't be

enough room here.

Oh, i never heard of

anything so ridiculous.

We've been here

for all these years.

What do you want

to move for?

That is the very

reason why.
