I say! That's a most pleasing effect,
don't you think?

:15:15
- There you are.
- Ta. Mrs Rivington-Lomax.

:15:20
Mrs Rivington-Lomax.
:15:23
I ought to know who she was.
Who was she? A hospital benefactress?

:15:28
A benefactress,
but not of St Swithins, of me.

:15:31
She was my grandmother, bless her.
:15:34
Rather a gruesome old lady,
but well-to-do.

:15:37
She spent the twilight of her life
surrounded by the medical profession,

:15:41
about every member of which
she was besotted.

:15:44
Then one morning she said to me,
:15:46
"If you'll train to be a doctor,
I'll allow you a thousand a year. "

:15:51
Well, medical training can last
a lifetime, if one wishes.

:15:55
- So, of course, you accepted.
- She put it in her will that night.

:16:00
It's not a gracious living
:16:02
but at least one
hasn't got to work for it.

:16:05
I'm not partial
to anything strenuous, are you?

:16:09
Chopsticks? One, two...
:16:18
This demonstrates
that the faster the subject pedals,

:16:21
the more oxygen he consumes.
:16:24
Faster, lad. Put your back into it.
You've got to work! Work!

:16:28
And that applies to you all.
You've all got to work.

:16:35
And now drains, ladies and gentlemen.
:16:39
Drains. Immensely important factors
in the health of the public.

:16:43
I've studied them all my life.
:16:45
You must, too,
to be efficient doctors.

:16:48
There's only one thing more important
than drainage. What is that?

:16:53
Sewage.
:16:56
Come in.
