Right here by the fireplace.
Thanks.
Amy, listen.
I'm gonna catch them off guard.

Open or closed, Mr. Sumner?
Uh, gee, I don't know.
Uh, open it.
If you can.
[ Chuckles ]
Sorry, Charlie.
Bite, sir.
[ David ]
I can appreciate that.
[ David ]
Be careful.
Watch that hand
on the spring.

Pretty dangerous thing, sir.

Where would you like it, sir?
Uh, put it right over
the fireplace there.
You fellows like some beer?

Oh, I've, uh--
Oh, but you've, uh,

Just once or twice,
but that was--
[ Charlie ] Be easy then.
You should try it, sir.
Living here at Trencher's, with good
shootin'outside the door. Eh, Norman?
Right. Right, sir.
When?
[ Charlie ]
How about tomorrow, sir?
Okay. Thank you.
That m-- That might be... fun.
I'd like that.
Thank you.
What about the garage?
It can wait.
We'll meet at Wakely

Well, we'd better
get back to work, sir.
Thank you for putting that up.
[ Scutt ]
That's all right, sir.
Oh, I, uh,
I don't have a gun.
But, uh-- [ Chuckles ]

[ Giggles ] Ah.
There'll be plenty extra, sir.
Good.

Uh, this'll be you

Right.
Now, here's your sack.
We'll beat the ducks
right to ya.
- Small, they are.
- Yeah.
We don't want it broken up
with shot unless you have to.
But, uh, if--
if you can't catch 'em...
shoot 'em.
They might come
right down here, sir.
- Or they might come
from behind as well, sir.
- But I don't move?
Stay as still
as you can be, sir.
Now, we'll be spread about.
If you need us,just call.
You do that.

He's fine.
Enjoying himself.
May I come in?
All right.
- Would you like a drink?
- I'd love one.
[ Door Closes, Lock Engages ]
Would you like me to go?
I will, you know.
No.
Stay and have your drink.
I'd like to know
what you think of cats.
I'd like to know

I do fancy cats.
Please leave me.
No.
Get out!
Don't tease me, Amy.
Please.
Aah! Aah!
No!
[ Gasping ] Aah!
[ Whimpering ]
[ Groaning, Sobbing ]
[ Panting ]

[ Grunting ]
[ Gasping ]
[ Door Opens, Closes ]
Why didn't you open the closet?
We don't have any more cats.
I'm firing Venner
and Scutt tomorrow.
Hooray for you, tiger.
What for?
Because they stuck it to me
on the moor today.
They also serve
who sit at home and wait.
What?
Nothing. If you'd have said
something to them ages ago...
-about the cat, this would
never have happened.
- Easy.
- None of it.
- Easy, easy.
I was going to say something
until you pulled that childish stunt...
and ruined any chance
I had of finding out.
- David, I didn't--
- I didn't finish.
- You pushed me, and you don't do
any good by pushing.
- I didn't.
When are you ever gonna
I'm trying to.
Well, you're a little late.
Why didn't you ask him
instead of making me look like
an idiot with that bowl of milk?
You're a coward.
- No, I'm not.
-And I'm a coward.
Plain and simple.
No, I'm not.
I don't blame you
for hiding in your study.
I don't--
I don't want to
hide there with you.
I-- I can't anymore.
Okay.
Easy, easy, easy.
- You're fired, all of you.
- I beg your pardon, sir?
I've noted the hours
that you've worked...
and I've deducted...
the-the time wasted.
- Here. It's all here.
- Why, sir? Why are we fired?
We may not work the way
you like to work, sir--
- Listen to me.
-[ Cawsey ] Sir, I mean, why?
You're fired because I don't want you
around. I want you to leave. Right now.
- Is that clear?
- We've been working all the time, sir.
Clear enough, sir.
[ Chattering ]
[ Chattering ]
[ Chattering Continues ]
- Norman.
- Huh?
That's a nice way
to treat people.
[ Wings Fluttering ]
We're due at the church hall at 8:00.
[ Toot Toot ]
[ Major ] I'd like you
to meet Amy and David Sumner.
- Hello. Nice to meet you. My husband.
- Hello, Mr. Sumner.
Hello, Amy.
Nice of you to come.
I'll show you to your seats.
Hello, Reverend.
How have you been?
- Please sit here.
- Thank you.
- I think she'll be able
to see okay from here.
- That's fine.
Would you care for a drink?
All right. Thank you.
I hope you enjoy the show.
Thank you.
Be brave.
-dd[ Fanfare ]
- Evening, ladies and gentlemen...
and welcome to our
annual social gathering.
It's nice to see again
all the old familiar faces.
And the not-so-old,
indeed, as well.
To begin the evening, we have
our very own Reverend Barnard Hood.
Your vicar,
ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you very much.
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
for my famous newspaper trick.
Tore it up last year, Barny!
Yes, and I might well
next year, too, Tom.
[ Chuckling ]
Here we are, ladies and gentlemen--
a very simple trick.
I simply tear a piece
of newspaper down the center so.
Tear it again.
Fold it towards me.
Music, please.
Open it up very carefully.
Tear it again.
There we are.
Roll it towards me again.
- You enjoy this, Mrs.Johnson?
- Yes, Vicar.
It is a good trick, isn't it? I do it
in front of the mirror every night.
And we begin to open up.
- Hello, David.
catch up with my reading.
Hi.
You want a smoke?
[ Barny ] And I find that
it hasn't been torn at all.
- No.
- What?
- Don't smoke in here.
And you'll also find that
that one isn't torn either.
