Whisky Galore Page #4

---

Any man who stands between us and the whisky is an enemy.

Angus, you will take him around the feet.

I'll do that.

You take him round the neck Biffer, while I pin his arms.

Och the poor soul.

Are you ready?

I might hurt him around the neck, I'll take his arms.

No! You'll be letting go of his arms out of sympathy for the man.

Now, the Panther Crawl!

What's all this?

Och, Sergeant, you gave us a surprise!

We meant to come up behind you

It was us that was going to surprise you!

We were never going to hurt you, we was just going

to put you out of the way.

Coming up behind me, eh?

Lovely lot of commanders you'd make!

Much noise as a couple of tanks!

We were doing the Panther Crawl

the way you showed us, Sergeant.

Not like that I didn't.

On your toes! Move on your toes

Light and quiet!

Come on, try it again.

Now Sergeant, we really didn't want to anyway.

You are too rough Sergeant.

Well if you do it properly I can't hurt you can I?

Come on, try it again.

Go on, take a firm grip.

Tighter!

See, you've got me helpless!

Here, wait a minute, Lets get George

We can't wait, there's no time!

- she'll be going down

- I'll not be a minute!

George, are you coming?

- Where are you going?

- To the wreck.

- Oh I can't

- Why not?

Why don't you come down by the stairs?

Come on, men! Get these hatches off!

She'll be going down in a minute!

Come along, George!

Ah well, Scots Wahey!

Scots wahey what, dear?

Well, it's what they say here, darling

you know, like,

Like Lang may your... something.. reek!

Come on, she'll sink!

Come on!

George! Biffer!

I can't wait!

Hurry she's going down!

It is a safe enough here

We'd be just drawing attention to ourselves if we carried it all over the island.

Let each man take what he needs.

We'll come back for more when we want it

Captain Waggett? Is that you?

Sergeant Odd, what are you doing here?

I've been tied up like this for the last four hours, sir.

This is monstrous! Who did it?

Well to tell you the truth sir, I haven't got a clue sir,

Just after midnight it was, they come up behind me

and the next thing I knew was...

... well here I am.

I'll find out who did it.

What number would you be wanting please?

Oh! It's you Mr Waggett!

Are you keeping well, Mr Waggett?

Yes, Mr Waggett.

Top.. what?

Top Priority?

I don't think there's anybody of that name on the island

Oh, I see Mr Waggett.

Obaig 6-6-6.

Colonel Lindsay-Wolsey.

Oh he'll be in bed, surely.

But I'll put you through just the same.

She ship was still afloat at midnight.

Which means they got to the whisky.

They might have sir

There's no doubt about it.

Colonel Lindsay-Wolsey?

This is Captain Waggett, officer commander Todday Home Guard

I have a very serious report to make to you sir,

which I think...

Serious? Do you know the time?

Sorry sir, of course I realise it is very early

but I thought you would wish me to inform you at once

that the steamship "Cabinet Minister",

Blue limpet line, was wrecked.

Why tell me Waggett? I'm not an Admiral!

I know sir. I didn't suppose that you were

and Admiral

But this ship, loaded with whisky, has just gone down.

Whisky?

Yes sir, whisky.

Oh that's different!

I have reason to believe that some of it was

removed from the ship.

Well done, get some for me!

For you sir?

I trust you weren't going to exclude me!

Sergeant Odd was on guard by my orders.

I regret to say he was brutally assaulted.

Serve him right!

Serve who right?

- Is this silly fellow along?

- Yes he's here, sir.

Put him on the line

Sergeant, the colonel wishes to speak to you.

Look here Sergeant, what has this fellow Waggett been up to now?

We all know this is a war for us!

Keep your eye on the follow.

I shall never understand the Military Mind, Dolly.

Sometimes I ask myself if the professional soldier is human.

Good night sir.

Did he say about you being assaulted?

Yes sir, he made quite a point about that.

He said it showed how well I'd trained them.

I don't wish to criticise my superior officer

but I find the Colonel's attitude extraordinary.

Quite extraordinary.

Well sir, I had suggested he mightn't like it.

Was there anything more, sir?

No, you better got back and rest.

Thank you sir. Good night sir.

Good night Mrs Waggett.

Paul, you aren't going to do anything more

about this whisky.

Surely you know me well enough to realise

when I've started something I see it through

to the end.

Snorvaig 19. Constable Macrae

Is there anyone in particular you suspect?

I suspect all of them, Dolly! All of them!

When the dawn rose on that memorable morning

it found a changed island

A sea that sparkled more brightly than before

Grass that seem greener!

Whiter Sands!

Todday was hardly recognisable!

I'm going to tell my mother this morning

that I'm going to be married when

Peggy and the Sergeant get married.

That is if Catriona will have me.

How many have had, George?

Four.

Four whiskies and the man's a giant!

I may have had too much to drink, I don't really know,

I've never had too much to drink in my lief!

- How do you feel George?

- I feel fine

- Is you head swimming?

- No

You look steady enough on your pins anyhow.

but speaking as one with considerable experience in these matters,

I must warn you to be aware of the reaction.

So we'll just prime you with one more dram

and bring you into the ring in the peak of condition.

You'll not become a drinker if it's me you're going to marry!

I may have to until we are safely married,

so the sooner we get married the better!

Will you listen to the man! What's come over him?

Would you rather I just went on havering?

No George, I don't believe I would.

You'll be home in half an hour.

I think that's about the right dose.

Wait a bit, doctor,

he may be needed your services.

Eesht girl! You've got a fine lad there!

It's a well known medical fact that some

men are born two drinks below par

Oh it's not your fault.

You've been spoilt! Spoilt by me!

I've let you have your way for far too long.

No more of that now! Catriona and I are getting

married next month.

I've told you my terms.

If you don't like them, you can go to...

you can go to Glasgow!

George Campbell, Satan himself is in you!

You come drunken, debauched,

and shameless.

Bringing that water creature to my very door.

To think that your father's son would...

And how are you keeping, Hector?

I'm feeling quite myself again.

Man, that's fine!

Would you be hearing anything about this whisky?

They tell me that some of it was saved from the sea.

I'm after making a few enquiries.

Man, we get all sorts of unpleasantness in the police.

I likely you would be.

Your hot water bottle is cold.

Will I be filling it up for you

No, I'm feeling fine and warm just now.

Well well, I'll be going.

Do you mean to say your selling the stuff?

I'm selling it all right, but who is buying?

You can go to prison for this.

To prison?

What are you telling me?
