- [ Giggling ]

- You'd better do something.

- My husband will think

all Englishmen are lazy.

- Let me help.

Hey!

[ Door Opens ]

[ Door Closes ]

[ Cawsey ]

Yeah, come on over here. This way.

[ Scutt ]

Watch your fingers, Chris.

What was so funny with them?

They just think

you're strange.

Why, because I'm American?

Mmm, no. No.

Just strange.

Do you think I'm strange?

Occasionally.

You act like you're 1 4.

I am.

Wanna try for 1 2?

How about eight?

I freak out for eight-year-olds.

[ Smacking Loudly ]

[ Imitates Smacking ]

- David?

-[ David ] Huh?

Will you please

get some lettuce?

Okay.

Oh, and fix

the damned toaster.

[ Sighs ]

What does she think

I'm doing here, playing games?

What is this,

grammar school?

Jesus Christ.

Uh, we're leavin' now,

Mr. Sumner.

- Mr. Riddaway be givin' us a lift.

- Fine.

Oh, I was just sayin'

to your missus...

that in a funny sort of way I feel

closer to rats than I do to people.

Even though I kill 'em for a living.

Their dying is my living.

Smell a rat, see a rat, kill a rat.

That's me, Chris Cawsey.

[ Giggles ] I'd be lost without 'em.

It's true. I tell you straight.

Cleverest thing you ever see

around these parts is a rat.

[ Laughs ]

Rats is life!

- [ Engine Starts ]

- [ Giggling ]

Shove up,

you overgrown bastard.

How's your day been?

Been up in a fat sheep, have ya?

[ Scutt, Cawsey Laughing ]

[ Scutt, Cawsey ]

d Oh, you fluffy fleecy darlings d

d You with the dark brown eyes dd

[ Amy ] David?

David.!

Dinner's ready.!

Did you hear me?

[ Sighs ]

- Hello, Major.

- [ All ] Evening, Major.

- Evening.

- Will you be having a pint

with me then, Major?

Not tonight.

I'll buy my own.

Otherwise

we'd never get out of here.

You know that.

Yes, I do know that.

Thanks, Harry.

[ Major ]

Excellent.

-John.

- Evening, sir.

- Fancy a game?

- Aye.

- Evening, Harry.

-[ Harry ] Evening.

John Niles, come here to me.

- Is this for a drink, Tom?

- No, this is for the truth.

Your brother.

Been hangin' around

the girls again.

You'd better keep a closer watch,

or we'll be puttin' him away.

It's all right, Pa.

He's only throwing the ball

to 'em a little.

A little's too much

for that sod.

Watch your tongue, Norman.

I'll watch nothin'

except my own ways.

You watch your brother,

or I'll do it for you.

If he ever makes

a mistake again in any way...

I'll be the first

to have him put away.

[ Amy ]

David.! You've been at it for hours.!

Aah!

- Gave me a fright, you did.

- You watching him, are you?

Just lookin'.

Do you fancy him?

He's sweet, I think.

dd[ Stereo.. Classical ]

[ Meows ]

Want anything?

dd[ Continues ]

Want a tomato?

- No, thanks.

- [ Yowls ]

Want a grapefruit?

[ Bucket Rattles ]

[ Cat Yowls ]

[ Yowls ]

- Hey, hey.

- Your move.

Okay.

dd [ Humming ]

Check.

- No, thank you.

- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

''This move now...

''puts black into

a desperate plight...

''with no possibility of mobilizing

his disorganized pieces.

''Therefore, he begins

to return material...

''to make progress

in developing at any price.

Two pawns down,

white can conveniently--''

Hey, I bet I can undress,

do my exercises and get into bed

before you make your next move.

- Is it a deal?

- You're on.

- Ah! No cheating.

- I'm not cheating.

dd [ Humming ]

Shh, David.

dd[ Continues Humming ]

Aha! I have it.

No, no, no, David,

just a minute.

You're supposed to do a hundred.

I did a hundred. I counted

by binary numbers. Make your move.

- Binary numbers.

- Make your move.

- Wait a minute.

- Come on.

[ Sighs ]

- What about that one there?

- No.

- Uh--

- It's difficult, isn't it?

Terribly.

Just a minute.

I think I have it.

Um-- [ Sighs ]

Ooh.

That puts you in.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Moaning, Kissing ]

-Jesus!

- What are you doing?

I gotta get my watch off.

You're an animal.

[ Ringing ]

Oh, for Christ's sake.

I'm just setting the alarm.

[ Clicks, Rings ]

Are you finished?

- Wait a minute.

- Oh, no. What now?

David.

[ Laughing ]

David, what are you

doing down there?

- Looking for a chess piece.

- [ Laughing ] What are you doing?

Take a look.

- Whoa. Did you find it?

-[ Giggling ] No, not that.

Wait a minute.

Let me give you a hand.

Aah.!

[ Laughing ]

David, no.!

- No, wait! Wait a minute!

[ Continues Laughing ]

- You see it? Huh?

- No, I didn't find it.

- I think it's a rook.

No.! Aah.! No.!

[ Amy ]

Mmm.! I love you.!

[ Giggling ]

I never cheat.

[ Sighs ]

dd [ Whistles ]

Look, Amy,

don't play games with me.

[ Ball Bearings Clicking ]

I've got a lot on my mind.

You're not being fair.

I'm just trying to help.

-[ Hammering ]

-[ Cawsey Giggling ]

[ Banging, Rattling ]

If you want to help,

then get your friends to finish.

Get the garage makers and the

rat catchers-- Get them all to finish!

- Oh.

- A-And fix the toilet

and clean up the kitchen.

That would be a terrific help!

I love you, Amy,

but I want you to leave me alone.

Okay.

I'll leave you alone

with your blackboard.

Don't play games with me.

No.

Don't do it, Amy.

[ Horn Honks ]

[ Amy ]

They were practically licking my body.

Who was practically

licking your body?

Venner and Scutt.

I congratulate them on their taste.

Damn rat catcher staring at me.

Why don't you wear a bra?

Why should I?

You shouldn't go around without one

and not expect that type to stare.

Look...

if you could hammer a nail, Venner

and Scutt wouldn't be out there.

Listen, Amy, uh...

fixing the toaster

and getting the garage built...

is not exactly the reason

I came here in the first place.

Are you saying

you'd be happier if we hadn't left?

We left because

I got a grant to do work...

which I haven't found

the time to do.

You left because...

you didn't want

to take a stand, commit.

Commit to what?

Huh?

I was involved with my work.

You want something out of me

that is not right to deliver.

That's not what I was there for.

But I know why you're here.

Why?

Could it be because there's

no place else to hide?

I'm here because you once said...

y-you thought

we could be happier here.

Remember?

I'm sorry.

Are you sorry sorry,

or just sorry?

Sorry sorry.

Then come here.

I'm gonna take a bath.

Why?

You don't need one.

I think I do.

Hey.

By the way, I never claimed to be

one of the, uh, ''involved.''

[ Hammering Continues ]

Don't forget

to draw the curtains.!

dd [ Humming ]

- Hello.

- Hi.

Thinking?

Mm-hmm.

- Don't want to come

for a walk, do you?

- Sure.

When?

In a little while.

dd [ Continues Humming ]

Hey, hey, come on.

Come on.

Hello.

Good evening.

[ Amy ]

Kitty.! Kitty.!

Kitty, kitty.

David, I can't find the cat.!

Can you forget the cat

and let me work for a minute!

Kitty.!

Kitty, kitty, kitty.

Kitty.!

Kitty.!

-[ Truck Engine Idling ]

- Kitty? Kitty, kitty?

'' Kitty, kitty.

Kitty, kitty, kitty.''

- Sh*t.

- Here, kitty, kitty.

[ Cawsey ]

Other side, sir.

- [ Engine Starting ]
