 　　[00:03.24]Oh, excellent.

 

　　[00:05.88]Well, we do seem to be getting along famously, don't we, Ben?

 

　　[00:09.63]Now, I'll show you around.

 

　　[00:18.47]Hi, Ben.

 

　　[00:19.47]Hi.

 

　　[00:21.87]Been swimming?

　　[00:32.32]Looking after a lady in Hampstead.

 

　　[00:33.79]Lucky lady.

 

　　[00:37.75]So where are you going now, Ben?

 

　　[00:39.96]I was just walking.

 

　　[00:41.11]I thought maybe if you were going, we could, you know, walk.

 

　　[00:48.08]Okay.

 

　　[00:50.27]See you.

 

　　[00:57.91]You know, after last Bible class, Peter walked me home.

 

　　[01:01.79]He says he likes sharing his thoughts with me.

 

　　[01:04.67]He says there's an incredible witnessing

 

　　[01:06.12]going on in a church in Hackney.

 

　　[01:08.44]He says he may take a group of us there next Sunday.

 

　　[01:11.84]Peter's so great.

 

　　[01:13.72]Yeah.

 

　　[01:15.20]He said this, like, black priest

 

　　[01:17.15]has actually flown over from America

 

　　[01:19.04]to save the Church of England from itself.

 

　　[01:22.39]Can you imagine?

 

　　[01:24.79]That's just so Pete.

 

　　[01:26.67]You've got lovely hair.

 

　　[01:27.71]What?

 

　　[01:28.91]Sorry.

 

　　[01:32.88]I've wrote you a poem. I've got it here. I could read it to you, if you like.

 

　　[01:36.36]It's okay, you can just give it to me. I can read it later.

 

　　[01:38.67]I'd really like to read it to you.

 

　　[01:40.19]Really, it's okay.

 

　　[01:41.91]It's only five lines.

 

　　[01:45.07]Go on, then. Quickly.

 

　　[01:50.11]* You are the harvest, God's water and wheat *

 

　　[01:53.51]* "Birds fly for you, sing for you*

 

　　[01:55.84]* Each wing a beat of my heart for you *

 

　　[01:58.32]* Felt for you, my clay feet *

 

　　[02:01.47]* I do not sing for you, do not fly for you *

 

　　[02:04.87]* I'm not water, I'm not wheat *

 

　　[02:07.79]* I would be dove, I would be hawk² *

 

　　[02:11.23]* Your milky³ breasts, my strange meat *

 

　　[02:16.47]What do you think?

 

　　[02:19.35]I'm sorry,

 

　　[02:22.24]but you're just too weird⁴.

 

　　[02:37.44]You're walking through the desert.

 

　　[02:39.75]It's very, very ho t.

 

　　[02:41.99]Walking. Tired.

 

　　[02:43.91]You're walking and walking and walking.

 

　　[02:47.36]And then... Over here.

 

　　[02:50.88]You see a eucalyptus⁵ tree.

 

　　[02:55.20]And then

 

　　[02:57.11]it's Jesus Christ himself,

 

　　[03:00.47]carrying his loaves and fishes.

 

　　[03:03.87]Now, everybody,

 

　　[03:05.27]quickly, quickly, sitting in the shade of the eucalyptus tree.

 

　　[03:08.20]Sitting in the shade, sitting in the shade.

 

　　[03:11.55]I'm so proud of Ben.

 

　　[03:13.84]Not only has he found a job he's found a job helping⁶ a retired⁷ actress.

 

　　[03:17.36]She's not retired. What's her name again, Ben?

 

　　[03:19.67]Eve Walton.

 

　　[03:21.03]She's a dame⁸.

 

　　[03:22.60]Eve Walton?

 

　　[03:24.08]Wasn't she with the RSC years ago?

 

　　[03:26.52]Played Ophelia.

 

　　[03:27.67]I've really no idea.

 

　　[03:29.24]Haven't heard her name for a while.

 

　　[03:31.15]That's not saying much, is it?

 

　　[03:34.20]r? When was the last time you went to the theater.

 

　　[03:36.12]We went to the West England last Christmas.

 

　　[03:38.88]That was panto.

 

　　[03:40.79]I'm sure Dame Eve's never done panto.

 

　　[03:43.63]We must invite her over, Ben.

 

　　[03:45.51]Perhaps she can help us out with The Story of Christ's Miracles.

 

　　[03:48.39]On second thought, maybe we should save her for Peter's International Day.

 

　　[03:54.48]Give the Muslims something to think about.

 

　　[03:58.91]Excuse me.

 

　　[04:12.79]Who is it?

 

　　[04:13.80]Ben.

 

　　[04:16.32]Come in.

 

　　[04:22.08]Mum thought you might like some crumble⁹.

 

　　[04:34.12]What's that one?

 

　　[04:36.43]A skylark.

 

　　[04:38.44]Skylark?

 

　　[04:40.36]It's found mainly in the Highlands now, I think.

 

　　[04:44.27]Its call is a sort of chirruping...

 

　　[04:51.67]It's not to be confused with the woodlark, which has a quieter...

 

　　[05:00.36]Aye.

 

　　[05:01.75]Oh, you can borrow the book, if you like.

 

　　[05:02.67]It's okay.

 

　　[05:04.47]Well, it's on the shelf. Anytime.

 

　　[05:08.35]Thanks.

 

　　[05:14.55]Thanks for the crumble.

 

　　[05:45.32]God, I loathe¹⁰ gardening.

 

　　[05:48.20]One beastly patch of grass and my bloody¹¹ back's in agony.

 

　　[05:53.51]And whoever made up all these ridiculous Latin names should be shot.

 

　　[05:57.39]Floria Fluckabundee.

 

　　[06:02.63]As if anyone gives a sixpenny suck what the Romans called them.

 

　　[06:05.55]Stop that bus!

 

　　[06:13.28]Are these the best available seats?

 

　　[06:15.72]I must say I prefer to sit nearer the front.

 

　　[06:19.79]I say, I would prefer to sit nearer the front.

 

　　[06:23.84]Since nobody appears to be moving, I suppose we shall have to make do.

 

　　[06:27.28]Goodness me, somebody forgot to wash.

 

　　[06:31.35]Oof!

 

　　[06:36.20]Lovely London.

 

　　[06:39.55]Sweetie? Christmas in a lick.

 

　　[06:42.92]No, thanks.

 

　　[06:46.24]For a boy of 17, you show a lamentable¹² lack of curiosity.

 

　　[06:51.60]No doubt you're suppressed by your upbringing,

 

　　[06:53.43]but that's hardly enough to explain

 

　　[06:54.91]what frankly¹³ amounts to little short of social autism.

 

　　[06:59.16]I shall have to imagine your curiosity for you.

 

　　[07:01.27]You're a healthy 17-year-old boy.

 

　　[07:03.19]You're not, of course, but you take my point.

 

　　[07:06.16]You see an attractive woman living on her own.

 

　　[07:08.59]You wonder, "Is she a roaring lesbian?"

 

　　[07:12.44]Answer, no.

 

　　[07:14.27]For your information, I've been married and divorced three times.

 

　　[07:16.71]Once to an actor, once to an English lord, and once to a Californian.

 

　　[07:21.07]All work flings.

 

　　[07:23.92]My mistake.

 

　　[07:26.79]You, on the other hand, might well be gay.

 

　　[07:30.20]I must introduce you to Dougal, old agent friend of mine.

 

　　[07:34.40]Hopelessly queer, of course, but the old-fashioned type.

 

　　[07:39.08]Bent gent.

 

　　[07:40.52]I'm not gay.

 

　　[07:41.99]I beg your pardon?

 

　　[07:43.40]I'm not gay.

 

　　[07:46.67]Not gay, apparently¹⁴.

 

　　[07:59.27]Can I help?

 

　　[08:00.75]I wish to see your equipment.

 

　　[08:02.19]My equipment?

 

　　[08:03.63]Show me everything you've got.

 

　　[08:14.11]Wait. Stop.

 

　　[08:16.79]Ben.

 

　　[08:18.31]Can you put your shoulder under my ass¹?

 

　　[08:27.92]Always dreamed of camping, even as a child.

 

　　[08:31.76]Half in, half out.

 

　　[08:34.64]Of course, my parents would never have dreamt of it.

 

　　[08:37.04]The lower middle classes are the worst snobs¹⁵.

 

　　[08:39.96]You sound faintly Cockney.

 

　　[08:42.79]Are you?

 

　　[08:44.71]No.

 

　　[08:46.11]No. What are you, really?

 

　　[08:49.55]I don't know.

 

　　[08:51.48]I mean, middle class, I suppose.

 

　　[08:53.51]Nothing to be ashamed of.

 

　　[08:55.43]Middle classes are the engine room of England.

 

　　[08:58.88]It's just their parents I can't stand.

 

　　[09:05.35]"They flee from me that sometime did me seek

 

　　[09:08.76]"With naked foot stalking in my chamber¹⁶

 

　　[09:14.56]"I have seen them gentle, tame and meek¹⁷

 

　　[09:18.43]"That now are wild, and do not remember

 

　　[09:22.23]"That sometime they put themselves in danger

 

　　[09:25.64]"To take bread at my hand"

 

　　[09:27.59]Any luck with this one?

 

　　[09:32.75]Sadly, your prices are beyond us,

 

　　[09:35.08]but for your aid and succo we thank you.

 

　　[09:46.76]Look, a camping stove. Come on.
