Excellent! That is exactly it!
Thank you very much indeed!

1:38:04
Excellent! First rate.
1:38:06
Thank you very much indeed.
1:38:08
D'Auban, that is exactly what I want.
1:38:10
I do beg your pardon,
but I appear to have missed the point.

1:38:13
- That is the very effect I need.
- And what effect exactly is that?

1:38:17
- What did they do?
- They walked downstage.

1:38:19
They appeared to me to be
ambling along the Strand.

1:38:22
They walked downstage
in the Japanese manner!

1:38:25
They walked in the Japanese manner
because they are Japanese.

1:38:28
Exactly! And that is precisely
why they are here.

1:38:32
Our maids are not Japanese.
However, they are very funny.

1:38:35
No funnier, however, than they would be
if they all sat down on pork pies.

1:38:40
- Young fella-me-lad, Mr Gilbert, sir.
1:38:42
I've arranged
Terpsichore, Chinese, Japanese...

1:38:45
...for pantomime, burlesque
and the ballet...

1:38:48
...for many a season,
always to great acclaim.

1:38:50
D'Auban... this is not low burlesque.
1:38:53
This is an entirely original
Japanese opera.

1:38:57
Miss Bond, Miss Braham and Miss Grey,
kindly resume your opening positions!

1:39:01
Please be seated once more.
Please be seated. Thank you.

1:39:04
Thank you!
1:39:07
Come along!
Come along, tortoise! Quickly, quickly!

1:39:11
What I would like you to do now
is to perform it...

1:39:14
...just as you have seen our guests
perform it. Thank you very much.

1:39:18
- Mr Gilbert!
- Yes, Jessie.

1:39:20
- Is that "exactly" as we have just seen?
- Exactly!

1:39:23
Without using "Monsieur" D'Auban's steps,
Mr Gilbert?

1:39:26
I want you to perform it
precisely as you have seen...

1:39:29
...our Japanese friends perform it.
Thank you very much!

1:39:32
- Exactement. C'est pas difficile.
- Very slowly and very boringly.

1:39:36
One, two. Two, two.
1:39:42
Very good!
1:39:44
First rate.
1:39:46
That is exactly right.
Thank you very much indeed!

1:39:49
That's as funny as when me tights caught
fire in Harlequin Meets ltchity-Switch.

1:39:53
Decorum in rehearsal, D'Auban.
1:39:55
That's the way, yes!
1:39:57
Very good indeed.
