Remember in the war? "Got any gum, chum?"
:59:05
We used to stand on the railway embankment,
:59:07
and the Yanks used to shower us with gum
and chocolate and K Rations.

:59:11
Terrific, it was.
:59:13
I wonder if the Russkies chew gum.
:59:15
"Got any gumski, comrade?"
:59:17
You won't be able to say that, James.
They're the enemy.

:59:21
Oh, yes. I keep forgetting.
:59:24
Crumbs!
:59:26
We won't have to try and kill them, will we?
:59:29
Oh, I... I suppose so.
:59:31
That's what you're supposed to do
to the enemy, isn't it?

:59:35
Crumbs! I hadn't really thought of that.
:59:38
You mean to say if one of them
comes through that door this afternoon,

:59:42
I'm supposed to try and kill him?
:59:44
Well, not you, James. After all, you're retired.
:59:48
Well, what would I kill him with?
:59:50
A bit of old iron, I suppose.
:59:53
I must mend those socks for you, James.
:59:56
They'd have Tommy guns. They always do.
:59:59
He'd mow us down, Hilda!
1:00:01
If a German sees you in these socks,
he'll think you're just a peasant.

1:00:05
"Die, you Englishe pig dogs!" he'd say.
1:00:08
"Enemies of der Fatherland! Heil Hitler!"
1:00:14
Oh. Oh, no, sorry. No, no, that's the last time.
I keep forgetting, it's the Russkies now.

1:00:22
Just suppose that one did come.
1:00:25
A great big Russian.
1:00:27
Big overcoat,
great big boots with snow on them.

1:00:30
Great furry hat,
all covered in belts of ammo and grenades.

1:00:34
Bloomin' great Tommy gun
pointing straight at us!

1:00:37
What am I supposed to do?
1:00:39
You could offer him a cup of tea, I suppose.
1:00:43
Argh!
1:00:44
We mustn't be collaborators, Hilda.
1:00:47
They'd shave our heads.
1:00:49
Russians like tea.
A cup of tea wouldn't hurt, surely?

1:00:53
I suppose it's better than being mown down
in a hail of bullets.

1:00:57
Crumbs! They might round us up
and take us off to the concentration camps.
