"'This stern decree, you'll understand,
1:13:02
Caused great dismay
throughout the land,
1:13:05
For young and old and shy and bold
1:13:07
Were equally affected.'"
1:13:09
"'The youth who winked a roving eye
1:13:11
Or breathed a non-connubial sigh
1:13:14
Was thereupon condemned to die.'"
1:13:18
"'He usually objected.'"
1:13:20
"'And you'll allow, as I expect,
That he was right to so object,
1:13:23
And I am right, and you are right
1:13:25
And everything is quite correct.'"
1:13:27
"'And so we straight let out on bail
1:13:30
A convict from the county jail
1:13:32
Whose head was next on some pretext,
Condemn-ed to be mown off,
1:13:36
And made him Headsman, for we said:
1:13:39
Who's next to be decapit-ed
1:13:41
Cannot cut off another's head
Until he's cut his own off.'"
1:13:45
"'And we are right, I think you'll say,
To argue in this kind of way,
1:13:49
And I am right, and you are right,
1:13:51
And all is right - too-loorallay!'"
1:13:53
"Chorus. End of song."
1:13:56
Highly amusing, Willie.
1:13:58
- Fatuous.
- Oh.
1:14:01
Surely Arthur likes it?
1:14:03
He hasn't said otherwise.
1:14:07
It certainly is rich
in human emotion and probability.
1:14:11
Hardly.
1:14:15
"Enter Pooh-Bah."
1:14:41
- It's a tragedy.
- It is.
1:14:43
Che bruto.
1:14:44
Absolutely. He simply hasn't
played with a straight bat.
1:14:48
- Who's that?
- His Majesty the Mahdi.
1:14:50
- Oh, yes.
- No, it just isn't cricket.
1:14:52
Quite so. It's completely contrary
to the rules of engagement.
1:14:56
The man was surrounded on all sides
and massacred mercilessly.
