- Posh people have lemon in it.
- I know! Horrible!

1:02:04
Crumbs!
1:02:06
I wonder if it was an American missile
falling a bit short.

1:02:09
That happened in the war -
blokes getting shelled by their own guns.

1:02:14
Be funny if it was
an American missile that had landed on us.

1:02:18
Wouldn't it, dear?
1:02:20
I can't see it's very funny, James.
1:02:23
No, well er... Funny peculiar, I mean.
1:02:26
Are they worse than the Russian ones?
1:02:29
Oh, I shouldn't think so, love.
I expect they're all much of a muchness.

1:02:34
They all work on the same principle.
1:02:36
It's called er... megadeath, I think.
1:02:39
So many millions of people dead per bang.
1:02:42
Any ketchup, dear?
1:02:44
I expect the quantity is similar either way.
1:02:47
Are all the bangs about the same sizze, then?
1:02:50
Oh, no! There's one megaton,
1:02:53
and 10 megaton, an' that.
1:02:56
It's er... just a question of
how big a bang you want to make

1:03:00
and how many... people you want to kill.
1:03:05
More baked beans, dear?
1:03:08
No, thanks. I'm a bit off food.
1:03:11
Then there's the er...overkill, see?
1:03:14
That's where they kill more people
than they really need to.

1:03:20
Say you want a bang
big enough to kill one million people,

1:03:24
and you go and use
a three-million-people bang.

1:03:28
It's terrifically wasteful of energy,
in the present economic climate.

1:03:31
I see, dear.
1:03:33
Yes, there's one thing
about the present economic situation.

1:03:37
- I mean...
- Such a shame we can't wash up.

1:03:40
...in order to conserve worid energy resources,
1:03:44
the powers that be will only use
the smallest possible bang.

1:03:48
Oh, I can't bear it!
1:03:51
I expect that's why we're still here.
1:03:53
We're running out of crockery.
1:03:55
We could say we owe our lives
to the worid economic procession.
