:54:02
I don't think you should start jumping
to conclusions.

:54:04
Why not?
:54:05
Ginger's jumped to the conclusion
that I'm to be struck down by anything...

:54:09
from the common cold
to the bubonic plague.

:54:13
That is a slight exaggeration, you know.
:54:15
After all, he's merely offering
a layman's opinion.

:54:17
Nonsense!
Everybody in Applehurst knows...

:54:20
that Ginger
is one of nature's own diagnosticians.

:54:22
He can often put his finger on the trouble...
:54:24
when old Dr. Williams is still groping
in the dark, can't he?

:54:28
Yes, but at this point he's merely
suggesting you wrap up well and go to bed.

:54:33
And evidently I'm to remain between
the sheets for the next two installments.

:54:39
Is that right, Jack?
:54:41
The rest is taken up with Rosie's reaction
when she finds out the tests are positive.

:54:45
Initially, she's contemplating suicide.
Then, at the last minute...

:54:48
Ginger saves her.
:54:51
If there was anything wrong with Rosie,
I'd be the first person she consulted.

:54:55
Yes, she's right.
:54:57
Yes, normally she would...
:54:59
but that's the whole point, you see.
You've got flu.

:55:02
I know I've got the bloody flu.
:55:04
Rosie just doesn't know who to turn to.
:55:06
But who decided
she was going to have the flu?

:55:14
It was all thrashed out
at the script conference.

:55:17
Come along, George,
it's only a passing cold.

:55:21
It's not the passing cold I'm concerned with.
:55:24
I want to know when, if ever,
I'm expected to arise again?

:55:30
Fair enough.
:55:32
What about it, Jack?
:55:34
I couldn't tell you, old chap. Peter and Eddie
are writing the next three installments.

:55:38
We'll contact them after rehearsals.
Now, do let's get on with it, shall we?

:55:41
Let's go back to Ginger's...
:55:43
Since I'm to be mute for the rest
of this enthralling installment...

:55:48
I hope you'll excuse me.
:55:56
Now, if you could make an exit like that,
you'd really be an actor.
