HAVE FUN WATCHING :)

- MAY HAVE SOME ERRORS

& MISSING PARTS (...) DUE TO BAD AUDIO -

- Town Hall please.

- Very good, sir.

(CHURCH BELLS RINGING)

(OFFICE DISCUSSION)

- Yes, sir.

- My name is Lampton, Joe Lampton.

Ohh, yes you are coming to work here, aren't you ?

... One moment please.

Mr.Hoylake will see you right away.

Come in.

We didn't expect you till Monday.

Sit down.

We are not accustomed to such an excess of zeal.

But it's not exactly that Mr.Hoylake.

I'm not surprised that you wanted to leave Dufton as soon as possible.

You'll find big differences here, you know.

Not only work,

You'll meet a different class of people.

We pride ourselves on being civilized here in Warnley.

Dufton is not much of a place but ... we're not exactly savages there you know Mr.Hoylake.

You think not? ...Well, what did you come to see me about?

Well, I thought perhaps... you see I have to get fixed up in digs ...

You shouldn't have any difficulty.

- Soames,

- Yes, sir - You might come in. - Right, Mr. Hoylake.

You'll be working with Mr. Soames, Internal audit.

He's got dig somewhere near Top. Top's the fashionable district.

He's very comfortable, I beleive.

Come in.

Charles Soames, Joe Lampton. Lampton is the new man.

- How do you do?

- How do you do?

He hasn't got anywhere to live. Can you help him?

- I think so.

- I'll leave it to you then.

We'll have a longer session later on. I'll keep an hour on Monday morning for you.

This is it. And that's your desk.

Well, he didn't keep you long in the firing line.

Joe this is Mrs. Samson, better known as June.

This is Joe Lampton, greatest addition to Treasuries Department chain gang.

I think I'm going to enjoy my sentence.

I don't mind you enjoying, but you don't have to smack your lips so vigorously.

Hot tip Charles, dog in 2nd race tonight, interested?

No, but hold on a minute. Meet new boy Joe Lampton, Teddy Merrick.

God may help you. I got to run.

- Well Charles how about those reports ?

- Well...those Stampton reports now where did I put them?

Somewhere in ...

- Have you tried looking under your skirt?

- What do you mean?

You're sitting on them, love.

Ohh, really? (...) Seeing you.

- She belong to us?

- Where did you get that proprietorial plural?

I meant the Teasuries Department.

No, she's h. typist.

We have our own talent.

Now digs, Mabel would you get me an outside line.

No dear, it's not a personal call.

Look Mabel I don't wanna argue with you, just get me an outside line

or I will put a tuppence in your moral little slot next time I'm passing.

Constipated b*tch, she think's she had shares in corporation.

Warnley 4-3-1-5

It's not for you lad.

But I can look, can't I ?

I guess there is no law against looking at women on street.

Hello, is that you Mrs.Thompson?

Charles Soames here. I was wondering if I might bring Mr.Lampton to see you?

Yeah, we'll be at the house long before that, thank you Mrs. Thompson.

That is as good as fixed and one of the best digs in Warnley too.

Is that what you really want ?

A clerk's dream; a girl with a Riviera tan and a Lagonda?

That's what I'm going to have.

Ha,ha... Come on, let's go.

Nobody ever goes to Dufton, they just pass trough it.

A sunday treat of fish and chips, wrapped in a greasy "News Of The World".

And chaps like me; prospect appetizing is yesterday's fish paste sandwich.

You know, I was a POW at least there was a limit to the time that you serve, but Dufton

it seemed like a lifetime sentence.

You shouldn't be so nostalgic on your first day away of your own place, you know.

I was looking at your river,

kids fishing and swimming in it.

in Dufton canal's like a sewer.

kids never had the chance to fish or swim.

And the people ... well I suppose they never had the chance either.

I assume here well... it's so different.

You wouldn't believe it Charles.

But you made Warnley sound so special Joe, so very special .

It is special. It's not Dufton.

Not everybody admires the view from here.

Look Joe,

there's the Top, that's where the money is.

that'a a lovely houses up there you know Joe.

I'll have one of those.

I'm going to have the lot.

Ha, ha! No you're not! Not in local goverment you're not. Did you ever work it out brother?

In 20 years time, you could be sitting in Hoylake's chair, and that is as high as you can go.

and that means; a 1000 a year, a semi-detached downtown, a 2nd hand Austin,

and a wife to match if you know what I mean.

I know damn well what you mean.

That's why I'm going to have the lot.

Oh, no no..

Oh, by the way what you do for entertainment around here?

Well, there's flicks of course.

Teddy Merrick and I play snooker on Friday nights. Do you play?

Badly.

Oh, and then we have our amateur dramatic society "The Thespians", are you interested in theater?

Yes.

Look, it's only 2 weeks away.

And Charly Soames here as being a part among "The Thespians" can probably

still get you tickets for opening night.

(PLAY) And then he went back to bed.

(PLAY) Yes.

(PLAY) To his own bed?

(PLAY) What's wrong with you?

(PLAY) Did you really think I would know the minute I saw you two together.

(PLAY) There's nothing to know.

(PLAY) I have no idea what you're talking about.

(PLAY) You're all upset.

Who is she?

You should have seen her in the "Playground".

Sex, terrific.

Alice Aisgill. She's French.

That's her husband, lucky devil sitting at the end of the front row.

(PLAY) Then I refuse to go to the court room.

(PLAY) You can't do that to him.

But she's not married, she couldn't be?

You mean Susan.

Oh, Susan Brown.

Yeah.

She's the daughter of old millionaire Brown.

He owns most of Warnley.

Have a chew too.

Thanks.

Joe don't waste your time.

Susan is out of your reach, she's way up in the top drawer.

She had a couple of bad days. Finishing school isn't quite finished with her.

Hello Teddy, didn't you think she was superb?

I don't know what you're talking about but I thought she was super, didn't you Joe?

Oh, this is Joe Lampton.

Didn't you think she was a absolutely super Joe?

Oh, absolutely super.

I thought they were all absolutely super.

Well my children, what was it like out front? And where's June?

Oh, there she's talking to Bernard a foolish virgin.

What dou you think out there Joe?

Well that wasn't bad.

Oh, dabbing, dabbing us with that phrase. Come meet some of the company.

I want you to meet Alice Aisgill our leading lady.

Alice, this is Joe Lampton.

- How do you do?

- How do you do?

You're new here, aren't you?

Yes, I've only been here for a couple of weeks.

He's in our department.

It's Susan Joe wants to meet. He has a thing for Susan.

Hey Bernard, come meet Bernard. Our producer.

Bernard, this is Joe Lampton.

Hello June.

- How do you do?

- How do you do?
