00:27:53,042 --> 00:27:58,005 Now, this is the agreement with Cavor. Sign there. 317 00:27:58,256 --> 00:28:02,510 On the proceeds of cavorite,I'll be able to pay off my debts a 1000 times. 318 00:28:02,802 --> 00:28:07,765 Arnold, with this money, we'll be able to get married now. Right away. 319 00:28:07,974 --> 00:28:11,811 Oh yes, we could, if I wasn't putting it into the experiments. 320 00:28:13,938 --> 00:28:15,398 What? 321 00:28:16,649 --> 00:28:21,612 - $10,000 with that madman? - But it will make our future, I'm sure. 322 00:28:21,821 --> 00:28:25,283 - What about your play? The London soliciter... - Oh the play's an absolute gamble. 323 00:28:25,491 --> 00:28:27,869 - But... - Darling you must trust me. I'm doing this all for you. 324 00:28:28,077 --> 00:28:30,830 Any day now the experiments will be completed. 325 00:28:31,038 --> 00:28:35,209 Arnold Bedford, if you fritter away your money on those lunatic experiments, the wedding's off! 326 00:28:35,418 --> 00:28:38,296 I'm packing up and going home to Boston! 327 00:28:52,852 --> 00:28:54,061 Gibbs. Your move. 328 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,356 - Look at this. I've got him now. - Hang on. 329 00:28:57,565 --> 00:29:01,736 - You must keep an eye on that furnace. - Yes. Yes, all right. 330 00:29:03,362 --> 00:29:07,116 Bedford, old man come in, come in. Oh you got the deeds? Go into the kitchen, go into the kitchen. 331 00:29:07,325 --> 00:29:11,287 Gibbs. Watch that temperature. Any drop could be disastrous. 332 00:29:11,537 --> 00:29:15,333 Talk about disaster. What's he want to interfere for? 333 00:29:15,541 --> 00:29:19,462 - Set them up again. Here, take over for me, will ya? - Let him do it. I'm me having tea. 334 00:29:19,712 --> 00:29:24,467 - I'm a metal worker, not a stoker. - Since when's a gardener's job stoking a furnace? 335 00:29:24,675 --> 00:29:29,847 Come on, matey. It'll be just like working with your petunias. 336 00:29:30,097 --> 00:29:32,683 I'm fed up with this lark. 337 00:29:34,060 --> 00:29:38,064 - Let's settle it over a pint at the Box in Daveron . - Now you're talking. 338 00:29:38,272 --> 00:29:41,150 Don't know why he wants it so blumming hot in here anyhow. 339 00:29:41,359 --> 00:29:44,445 Let them see it for themselves, use it. 340 00:29:46,155 --> 00:29:47,448 For instance... 341 00:29:47,657 --> 00:29:51,369 ...cavorite trays and boots. 342 00:29:51,786 --> 00:29:57,041 Boots! Yes, of course! Simply enamel the soles and a man would just... 343 00:29:57,249 --> 00:29:59,418 Just like that. 344 00:30:01,337 --> 00:30:02,338 That's right. 345 00:30:02,546 --> 00:30:06,676 Oh good, good. I thought of boots last night. Army surplus boots. 346 00:30:06,884 --> 00:30:09,845 - You know, it's one of those basic ideas... - Only way to do it, really. 347 00:30:10,096 --> 00:30:13,599 Well, perhaps not the only way, but for a start. 348 00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:18,521 Don't see why we shouldn't do it together. Room enough in the sphere for two people. 349 00:30:18,729 --> 00:30:23,776 Well now wait a minute. You're not serious about that idea of going to the moon, are you? Wasn't it a joke? Wasn't it? 350 00:30:23,985 --> 00:30:27,905 I mean we'd be firing ourselves off the globe for nothing, absolutely nothing. 351 00:30:28,114 --> 00:30:32,618 I mean if there was anything on the moon worth discovering, there might be... 352 00:30:32,827 --> 00:30:35,579 It's exceptionally high in minerals. 353 00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:39,000 - Minerals? - Minerals. 354 00:30:40,084 --> 00:30:43,879 - Including gold? - Including gold. 355 00:30:44,088 --> 00:30:49,427 Mind you, there's a theory that the minerals on the surface of the moon are not in a molten magma... 356 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,762 ...but dotted about... 357 00:30:52,430 --> 00:30:53,973 ...in nuggets. 358 00:30:54,181 --> 00:30:56,809 Rather like raisins in a fruitcake. 359 00:30:58,394 --> 00:31:01,063 Better than weightless boots, isn't it? 360 00:31:01,272 --> 00:31:04,859 Come on, I've got something to show you. I've got something to show you. 361 00:31:12,116 --> 00:31:14,160 How far would it be? 362 00:31:15,286 --> 00:31:16,829 What, to the moon? Yes. 363 00:31:17,038 --> 00:31:22,293 About a quarter of a million miles. About quarter of a million... Come on. 364 00:31:22,793 --> 00:31:26,255 You'll have to forgive this confusion, untidiness. 365 00:31:26,505 --> 00:31:29,133 I'll really get it cleared up one day. 366 00:31:29,383 --> 00:31:32,344 Oh, my goodness! That's much too high. 367 00:31:33,929 --> 00:31:38,976 It's to carry the hot gases from the furnace. I'll explain later. I'll explain. Come on. I'll explain. 368 00:31:58,579 --> 00:32:02,083 It's all right! It's all right! He's a friend! He's a friend! 369 00:32:03,501 --> 00:32:06,837 My guards. Mu...
