When word gets out that "Colonel Ruggles is staying with his close friends" in the local paper, the butler becomes a town celebrity.

the wedding at our house.

- Oh, sure.

- Aren't we?

Oh!

Making a countess

of a cheap dancer!

I wouldn't say that if I were you, sir.

- You what?

- I wouldn't say that if I were you, sir.

You're insulting, Ruggles.

I beg your pardon,

but you were insulting, sir.

Not only were you insulting

but you were eavesdropping.

- That was quite unintentional, sir.

- You're lying, Ruggles.

- I wouldn't say that if I were you, sir.

- I've stood enough from you.

Aren't you forgetting that you are nothing

but a low, common shiner of boots?

I'm not forgetting

that I am proprietor of this place

and as proprietor of this place

I am politely asking you to leave, sir.

- You what?

- I'm asking you to leave.

If I go, all the real people

will leave with me.

If my success depends upon

catering to people like you, sir,

all I can say is...

all I can say is, Mr Belknap-Jackson...

all I can say is words fail me.

- Ruggles! How dare you?

- It's quite all right, sir.

- You can't...you can't do this to me!

- Quite all right, sir.

- This is disgraceful.

- Oh, sit down.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'd like to say a few words to you

about the proprietor Mr Ruggles.

- So, I'm a failure?

- Oh, don't worry about it.

As I always say,

it's always darkest before the dawn

and every cloud has a silver lining

and it never rains but what...

Oh.

- And I'm not worrying about it.

- Oh, yes, you are. Just look at you.

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow...

Well, they seem to love His Lordship.

His Lordship's a very happy man tonight.

He's marrying Nell Kenner. Yeah.

Hey! Hey, Bill! Bill, come on,

get in on this, will you? Come on.

Heh-heh! This is the biggest show

Red Gap ever had.

He's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow

Which nobody can deny...

Which nobody can deny

Which nobody can deny...

Why, you old plate of soup,

they're singing it for you!

What?

My friends.

God bless you all.

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

And so say all of us

And so say all of us

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow

Which nobody can deny

Which nobody can deny

Which nobody can deny

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow

Which nobody can deny

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

And so say all of us

And so say all of us

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow...
