:22:01
Aren't you lucky!
:22:03
The administrator is here, Doctor.
:22:05
Switch everything on.
:22:07
'Morning, gentlemen.
:22:08
'Morning.
'Morning.

:22:10
'Morning, Mr. Pycroft.
:22:12
Very impressive.
:22:14
- And what are you doing this morning?
- It's a birth.

:22:18
And what sort of thing is that?
:22:19
That's when we take a new baby
out of a lady's tummy.

:22:24
Wonderful what we can do nowadays.
:22:27
I see you have the machine
that goes, "Ping!"

:22:30
This is my favourite.
:22:31
We lease this back
from the company we sold it to.

:22:34
That way, it comes under the monthly
current budget and not the capital account.

:22:42
Thank you, thank you.
We try to do our best. Well, do carry on.

:22:46
- The vulva's dilating, Doctor.
- Yes, there's the head.

:22:49
Yes, four centimetres, five, six centimetres.
:22:52
- Lights!
- Amplify the ping machine.

:22:54
- Masks up!
- Suction!

:22:56
Eyes down for a full house!
:22:58
Here it comes.
:23:02
And frighten it.
:23:04
Thank you.
:23:05
And the rough towels!
:23:09
Show it to the mother.
:23:11
That's enough.
Sedate her.

:23:13
- Number the child.
- Measure it, blood-type it and isolate it.

:23:17
Okay, show's over.
:23:20
Is it a boy or a girl?
:23:22
I think it's a little early
to start imposing roles on it, don't you?

:23:25
A word of advice.
:23:27
You may find you suffer for some time
a totally irrational feeling of depression...

:23:31
P.N.D., as we doctors call it.
:23:33
So, it's lots of happy pills for you...
:23:35
and you can find out about the birth
when you get home.

:23:37
It's available on Betamax, VHS and Super 8.
