Snape's In There.

Peter Holroyd!

[Crowd Murmuring]

Right, Harry!

Look Out, One Spark

Might Send The Whole Place Up.

Quick As You Can,

Doctor.

Right.

It's Good

To See You, George.

Ah, Ken.

How's Things Down There?

How Is It, George?

Oh, Like A Powder Keg.

I Only Hope

We Can Get Them All Out

Before It Goes Up.

Come On, Ginger!

Up You Go.

You Done Well, Lad.

Right,

There's No One Else.

Well, Then For God's Sake, Sir,

Let's Get Out While We Can.

Carter:
Roy Laycock!

[Murmuring]

Amos Burley!

Jake Arbuthnot!

[Crowd Murmuring]

Ginger Truman!

Luke Armstrong!

Carter:
Anybody Else

Below, Luke?

No, Nobody.

Only Bill And The Manager,

And They're On Their Way Up.

[Snorts]

Mr. Sandman!

[Cheering]

Richard!

[Crying]

Richard.

[Crowd Murmuring]

Father, I'm Sorry.

Well Done, Sandman, My Boy.

Well Done, Indeed.

Excellent! Well Done--

Every Single Man Of You.

Thank You!

Thank You, Everybody!

Where's--

Where's Flash?

I Unhitched Him From His Sledge.

I Thought He Would--

I Reckon He Thought

His Shift Were Over,

So He Headed Back

For The Stables.

I'll Go Down And Fetch Him.

No, Luke! No!

He'll Have Gone Through

The Ventilation Doors.

You'll Never Find Him.

Don't Do It, Luke.

Flash Saved Our Lives!

No!

I'm Not Going To

Leave Him Down There.

No, Luke, Don't Go!

Don't Go, Luke!

[Explosion]

[Crying]

There, Lad.

Good Night.

[Crying]

Good Night, Milord.

Well, Sandman, My Goodness--

A Truly Miraculous Escape.

Thank God

All Is Well, Hmm?

That's Right, Milord.

Tell Me, Sandman,

Why Are The Children Crying?

One Of The Ponies

Got Left Behind, Milord.

A Pony? [Laughs]

But Surely--Surely They Know

All The Men Have Been Saved.

Yes, Milord, That May

Make Sense To...Outsiders.

But Those Ponies

Mean A Lot To Them.

Ah, Yes, But--

Good Night, Milord.

[Up-Tempo March Plays]

[Indistinct Chatter]

[Applause]

My--My Few Words

Are Simply This--

Welcome, Everybody,

To The Miners'--

Miners' Picnic.

Ah, Mrs. Ramsbottom,

As You See,

Has Prepared

This Excellent Tea For You.

[Laughs]

Thank You.

Now, After You

Have Enjoyed Your Tea,

We Have A Little Ceremony

To Perform,

But No More Of That Now.

To Tea, Everybody.

Enjoy Your Tea.

[Mid-Tempo Music Plays]

[Indistinct Chatter]

Aye, But The Best Of Them All

Were Flash.

Seems It's Always

The Best That Go.

Your Father Was

The Best Friend I Ever Had.

I Reckon I'll Miss Him

To My Dying Day.

I Wish It Could Have Been Flash

Out Here In The Sunshine.

No.

No.

When He Was Above Ground...

Flash Knew

That He Was Blind.

Are You Gonna Stand There

All Day Looking At Horses,

Or Are You

Gonna Come And Have Some Tea?

Ladies And Gentlemen,

In Honor Of Flash,

I Have Very Great Pleasure

In Donating This Field

In Which All His Friends--

The Other Pit Ponies--

Will Live Out

The Rest Of Their Lives

In Comfort And Freedom.

[Applause]

So...

I Now Call Upon

Miss Alice Sandman.

Are You Ready?

Very Well, Then--

Cut That Ribbon.

[Cymbal Crashes, Cheering]

[Up-Tempo Music Plays]

Come On!
