terrible things like that.

Get yourself another pair.

What's the price of a pair of earrings?

Decent earrings, hm?

Three quid.

Here, what you call a little present.

Good night.

Bob, I am glad you waited.

Why, what's the matter?

You fixed a room?

No.

I haven't been down to Canonbury yet.

You've been up here all day?

Yes.

Oh, Bob, it's all right.

I haven't done anything wrong.

Look!

I've still got that money you gave me.

Bob, let's go out to Canonbury now.

You really sure you want to come, Stella?

Yes, I do. Honest I do.

Oh, Johnny, Johnny.

Please, may I ask you a question?

It's your right, madam.

My privilege to answer.

Have you seen a little dog anywhere?

I've lost him.

I don't think so, madam. What's he like?

He's black and white, not very big.

I've lost him and I've

searched everywhere for him.

He'll be so tired and so frightened.

It's all my fault.

He's such a beautiful little dog.

His name's...

Johnny!

Look out!

...Three, discharged...

Jarvis, Quilliam, Marsden...

There you are, ladies, London.

The biggest city in the world

and it's all yours.

I'm gonna get married.

Have you got a boy waiting for you?

Marsden, Marsden... And now I want to

wish you every happiness, Monica...

and I hope you find someone

to look after you.

Did you ever doubt that I loved you?

Up here! There's a man up here!

Up here!

Dial 999.

Tell them there's a man on the roof.

What's going on?

Up there, on the roof.

Beats me how he got up there.

Oh, it's done. I bet they're advertising

the show. Oh, yeah, all the coppers?

Cover the restaurant entrance.

He'll never make it.

What do you bet?

All right, down you come.

Can you put me on the roof?

Fine.

Righto.

Come on, break it up.

Put me on this canopy.

Get him out.

Tell him to get into that door.

Put me up onto the roof.

All right, take him down.

Poor devil.

He'll get what's coming to him, all right.

Serves him right, too.

How do you know?

Have you never done anything wrong?

Dead?

Yeah, must have been killed outright.

She just started talking about her dog.

Said it was lost.

Suddenly she calls out "Johnny" and darts

across the road.

Couldn't stop her.

Johnny.

Johnny.

Johnny, come here.

Come on, Johnny.
