00:37Lots of Chronicle, please.

00:42Morning, Mr. Knight. Morning.
00:43♪
00:45What did he say?
00:46Say?
00:47We're going to buy the works.
00:49Knight's going to lend me 2,000 pounds
00:51and I've got to raise the other 3,000.
00:53I don't know how the devil I'm going to do it.
00:553,000 pounds?
00:56I'll do it somehow.
00:58I wondered if you'd let me have your 1,500.
01:00Of course you can have it.
01:01You can have my saving certificates, Daddy.
01:04Douglas, old chap, this is a great day.
01:07Blake's is Blake's again.
01:09Toppy.
01:10Daddy.
01:11Daddy, if the works belong to you,
01:13shall we be rich?
01:15I don't know about rich, but we shall be better off.
01:17Shall we have enough money for me not to be a teacher?
01:22Don't you want to be a teacher?
01:23Daddy, you know I don't.
01:25But you don't know what you want.
01:26Oh, I know what I don't want.
01:29Daddy, Daddy, just say that if the works belong to you,
01:33I don't need to be a teacher.
01:36Oh, all right, all right.
01:41Oh, thank you, Daddy.
