bhaktajan 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 (Scene: a wartime RAF station) Janardana das: Morning, bhakta-ashram Leader. New Bhakta: What-ho, Squiffy. Janardana das: How was it? New Bhakta: Top-hole. Bally Jerry, pranged his kite right in the how's-your-father; hairy blighter, dicky-birded, feathered back on his sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harpers and caught his can in the Bertie. Janardana das: Er, I'm afraid I don't quite follow you, Squadron Leader. New Bhakta: It's perfectly ordinary banter, Squiffy. Bally Jerry, pranged his kite right in the how's-your-father; hairy blighter, dicky-birded, feathered back on his sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harpers and caught his can in the Bertie. Janardana das: No, I'm just not understanding banter at all well today. Give us it slower. New Bhakta: Banter's not the same if you say it slower, Squiffy. Janardana das: Hold on then -- Wingco! -- just bend an ear to the Squadron Leader's banter for a sec, would you? Bhakta Trinidad: Can do. Janardana das: Jolly good. Fire away. New Bhakta: Bally Jerry... (he goes through it all again) Bhakta Trinidad: No, I don't understand that banter at all. New Bhakta: Something up with my banter, chaps? Temple </ST1:PPresident</ST1:P: AIR RAID SIRENS (Enter Mr Patel, out of breath) Mr Patel: Bunch of monkeys on the ceiling, sir! Grab your egg-and-fours and let's get the bacon delivered! Bhakta Trinidad (to New Bhakta): Do you understand that? New Bhakta: No -- I didn't get a word of it. Bhakta Trinidad: Sorry, old man, we don't understand your banter. Mr Patel: You know -- bally tenpenny ones dropping in the custard! (no reaction) Mr Patel: Um -- Charlie choppers chucking a handful! Bhakta Trinidad: No no -- sorry. Janardana das: Say it slower, old chap. Mr Patel: Slower banter, sir? Bhakta Trinidad: Ra-ther. Mr Patel: Um -- sausage squad up the blue end? New Bhakta: No, still don't get it. Mr Patel: Um -- cabbage crates coming over the briny? The others: No, no. (Film of air-raid) <FONT face=Arial>New Bhakta (voice-over): But by then it was too late. The first cabbage crates hit <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<font color=" /><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">London</st1:City></st1:place> on July the 7th. That was just the beginning. (Bhakta Trinidad seen sitting at desk, on telephone) Bhakta Trinidad: Five shillings a dozen? That's ordinary cabbages, is it? And what about the bombs?... Good Lord, they are expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
