00:00Oh, look, Claude. This is a horse running called Claude's Folly.
00:05Oh, whipping good show. I think it's ten to one, isn't it?
00:08Go, darling. It's half past three.
00:12Ha, ha, ha. You delicious creature.
00:15Ha, ha, ha.
00:18Sixty-four, a few more, and one far better.
00:21Nice hail, chap.
00:22Yes, sir. Ten pounds to win Claude's Folly.
00:25Ha, ha, ha. Claude's Folly.
00:27Ha, ha, ha. Certainly, sir.
00:30One hundred pound a ten, Claude's Folly. Seven, one, five. Thank you very much, sir.
00:34Two dollars, Claude's Folly.
00:36I understand, sir.
00:37That's your lot.
00:39How much have we got to pay out?
00:40Over a hundred quid.
00:41How much have we got?
00:42Eighteen pounds, ten and sixpence.
00:43Flash, give us the sandwich filler. I'll put the bread on it. Quick, come on.
00:49So, mate, here comes the walrus.
00:52Ah, I was expecting you, sir.
00:54Oh, wasn't Claude clever?
00:56Yes.
00:57Claude's Folly?
00:58That's right, sir.
00:59One hundred and ten pounds, straight from the mint. Untouched by human hand.
01:02Thanks awfully.
01:03It's a pleasure, sir.
01:04Delighted, sir.
01:05See you again.
01:06I hope not.
01:07Watch him, Flash.

01:10Stand by for Operation Scarpa.
01:11Aye.
01:14Now, one for you.
01:16One for thee.
01:18One for you.
01:19One for thee.
01:21One for you.
