When the students of St. Trinian's, an all-girl preparatory school, see their school commandeered by police forces, the devilish girls find ways to turn the situation into bedlam. Soon afterward, they cheat their way to a European trip, accompanied by driver Capt. Carlton-Ricketts (Terry-Thomas), where the girls are caught up in a diamond theft. At the same time, Flash Harry (George Cole) has been trying to get some of the older girls married to wealthy and powerful men.

00:00:00The Lone Ranger
00:02:32Oh, you bet they are.
00:02:34Europe's foremost bachelor prince, handsome, rich, needs an heir.
00:02:38Tomorrow, girls' mums and dads, that's like, like magic water tumbling down a fairy doll,
00:02:44if you'll pardon the use of poetry.
00:02:46That girl, Osborne, can you tell me something about her background, please?
00:02:55Background?
00:02:56That's Clackton Pier, isn't it?
00:02:58Oh, better, I see what you mean.
00:03:00Oh, her dad's in pickles.
00:03:02She got class, Jane has.
00:03:05Oh, what is that?
00:03:07A hockey team?
00:03:08Yeah, the Sultan of May Roots got them.
00:03:10He couldn't make up his mind which one to marry, so he took the lot.
00:03:13Mo'amerton, of course, all on the level.
00:03:16We'll see.
00:03:17There's a sweet domestic kid, untouched.
00:03:21Here's a photograph.
00:03:22Would it not be possible for some of these girls to be brought to Rome for his highness to meet, uh, unapproval?
00:03:29What do you mean, unapproval?
00:03:31St Trinia's Marriage Bureau is a respectable agency, licensed annually by the Barsic County Council.
00:03:36I wasn't naturally going to suggest that the girls came with a chaperone.
00:03:40They would be my guests, of course, in Rome.
00:03:43Oh, they would, eh?
00:03:44Certainly.
00:03:45Oh, I see.
00:03:46Oh, well, that's a different cup of cappuccino.
00:03:48Well, look, I might be able to fix something after school breaks up, of course.
00:03:52When is that?
00:03:53July.
00:03:54But that is nearly three months' time.
00:03:56And at the end of June, Miss Gloria Van Hyde is flying from Hollywood to meet his highness.
00:04:00Yeah, well, supposing I'll get my girls here a bit earlier.
00:04:03How about that, eh?
00:04:04You think that's possible?
00:04:05Well, a bit tricky, you know, in the middle of term, but I do me best.
00:04:08Can't say fairer than that, can I?
00:04:12This is Mr. Edwards from England, mother.
00:04:15You, ma?
00:04:15Pleased to meet you.
00:04:16Mr. Edwards runs a marriage bureau attached to a girl's school called St. Trinian's.
00:04:22That seems a very strange arrangement.
00:04:25Is St. Trinian's a major public school?
00:04:27Oh, very major, lady.
00:04:29I think we have a reference book somewhere in the library, Your Highness.
00:04:32No need to look it up, Your Worship.
00:04:33I've got a prospectus here.
00:04:34Order dope.
00:04:35Here.
00:04:35Names of past pupils.
00:04:36Things people have said about the school.
00:04:38Edited, of course.
00:04:39Set in sovereign surroundings, St. Trinian's offers to girls all the advantages of modern
00:04:47education.
00:04:48It provides splendid scope for outdoor sports, such as tennis, swimming, and other fruitful
00:04:57activities, while at the same time permitting a healthy measure of freedom.
00:05:02The qualifications of the teaching staff speak for themselves, and picked as they were by that
00:05:10well-known pioneer of female education, Miss Amelia Fretton.
00:05:15Not more.
00:05:39Oh, really, it's hard to believe that so many schoolgirls could write so much about the
00:05:44political and economic history of Europe.
00:05:46With a prize like this, who can wonder?
00:05:48Free tour of Europe, the best hotels, friendly games with the top schools on the continent.
00:05:52It's a schoolgirl's heaven.
00:05:54Even so, I hardly think that politics and economics are suitable subjects to set them.
00:05:58Well, there's bound to be a school somewhere that'll put up a show.
00:06:00Well, if there is, one thing's absolutely certain.
00:06:03It won't be this one.
00:06:04Oh, which?
00:06:04St. Trinian's.
00:06:05Mr. Bassett, didn't you have something to do with that school once?
00:06:09Miss Brenner, every morning that I wake up, I praise the day I was transferred to this
00:06:14department.
00:06:14Happy man.
00:06:16Just look at this cover, even.
00:06:17What earthly chance could they possibly stand?
00:06:20What's that?
00:06:20Red ink.
00:06:21Red ink?
00:06:23Red pity.
00:06:24I'm desperate, my dear fellow.
00:06:26Desperate.
00:06:28Really, really desperate.
00:06:30If I don't hear soon, I shall go mad.
00:06:32I'm absolutely at the end of my tether.
00:06:35I don't care what you do.
00:06:38Do something.
00:06:39St. Trinian's, I presume.
00:06:42I've been expecting the new headmistress, Dame Maud Hackshaw, but nobody can tell me when
00:06:46she's leaving Australia.
00:06:47What makes you think she'll be any more successful than the last horror?
00:06:50She's been running a Boston institution in New South Wales.
00:06:53Kill or cure Hackshaw, they call her.
00:06:54She'll need to be.
00:06:55Did I hear a rumor that you've called in the army?
00:07:01My dear chap, we had to protect the country.
00:07:03Directly, they sentenced Miss Fritton, the whole teaching staff resigned.
00:07:06Sisters in crime, of course.
00:07:07I spoke to the director general.
00:07:09Well, we just couldn't leave that tribe of little cannibals to their own devices.
00:07:12Still, the army's going a bit far, a man, don't you think?
00:07:14I tried the police, I tried the women's voluntary organizations, no one would go near the place.
00:07:19I don't wonder.
00:07:20It can only be a matter of a few short days now before the whole ghastly business reaches
00:07:25the press.
00:07:26I don't sleep anymore.
00:07:27I'm afraid to.
00:07:28I might dream.
00:07:29There's only one thing to do, old man.
00:07:31Open a vein.
00:07:33Here, try a couple of these.
00:07:35Keep the box.
00:07:36I haven't needed them for months.
00:07:50I can't see how a whole radar unit can possibly disappear, Reginald.
00:07:55Except to gross carelessness.
00:07:57I assure you, sir, the van was locked.
00:08:01What is it, Eric?
00:08:02I have to report number four observation post.
00:08:04Oh, no, no, no, not the Bren gun.
00:08:06Afraid so, sir?
00:08:07That's not all.
00:08:08The crew have gone, too.
00:08:08But that's impossible.
00:08:09I know, sir.
00:08:11You better send young Fletcher out with a search party at once.
00:08:13Oh, I'm afraid young Fletcher didn't report for duties this morning.
00:08:15Then why was I not told this?
00:08:16Well, we rather hoped that young Fletcher might turn up, sir.
00:08:19You know, there are times, Eric, when I say to myself,
00:08:21is this all really happening?
00:08:22Or is it just a ghastly nightmare?
00:08:25It's just a ghastly nightmare, sir.
00:08:27Get me Brigade HQ.
00:08:29Yes, sir.
00:08:29Brigadier.
00:08:30Yes, sir.
00:08:32Brigade?
00:08:32Major word out for Brigadier.
00:08:34Eric.
00:08:34Sir?
00:08:35Eric, you will yourself organise a search party
00:08:37to ascertain the whereabouts of number four OP
00:08:39and all other missing personnel and equipment.
00:08:42And where do I find the personnel to find the personnel, sir?
00:08:47At times like this, Eric,
00:08:49each man must do his best.
00:08:52Yes, sir.
00:08:54Brigadier, sir.
00:08:57Whiteheart's here, sir.
00:08:58Reporting from St. Trinian, sir.
00:09:00Yeah, yeah.
00:09:00I need reinforcements immediately, sir.
00:09:02What on earth are you bubbling about, Whiteheart?
00:09:05You're not a war, man.
00:09:06You're looking out for a girl's school.
00:09:07Well, that was the story, sir.
00:09:09What do you mean?
00:09:09They're fiends in human shape, sir.
00:09:12We've had casualties, sir.
00:09:14And what is worse, sir,
00:09:15the men's morale is beginning to crumble, sir.
00:09:17Evidently.
00:09:18But I shall certainly not send reinforcements.
00:09:20You will hand over to the new headmistress in a few days' time.
00:09:23Meanwhile, we'll carry on.
00:09:24That's all.
00:09:27Same old story.
00:09:28Absolutely no contact between the top for us
00:09:30and the men at the front.
00:09:31What the devil's there?
00:09:32Number four OP, I don't doubt, sir.
00:09:34Mr. Commander!
00:10:02Hello, Mr. Edwards.
00:10:03Well, nice to see you back.
00:10:05Have a good time in Rome.
00:10:06Oh, lovely.
00:10:07Here, I brought a couple of pairs of real silk socks for you.
00:10:17Harry!
00:10:24Go!
00:10:25Harry's back!
00:10:27Go!
00:10:28Go!
00:10:29Harry's back!
00:10:31Harry!
00:10:31Harry!
00:10:32Harry!
00:10:32Harry!
00:10:33Harry!
00:10:34Harry!
00:10:35Harry!
00:10:36Harry!
00:10:37Harry!
00:10:38Hey!
00:10:39Why did you let us know?
00:10:41Break it up, kids!
00:10:42Harry's back!
00:10:43Oh, Harry!
00:10:44How'd you get up, Harry?
00:10:44What happened in Rome?
00:10:45What happened in Rome?
00:10:46Did you mean the prince?
00:10:46Yeah.
00:10:47Is he interested in love, Harry?
00:10:47Is he interested in marriage, you mean, don't you?
00:10:49Well, did he sort of fancy any one of us in particular?
00:10:51Yeah, well, that's the trouble.
00:10:52He sort of fancied a lot of you.
00:10:54He wants you all to come to Rome as his guests.
00:10:56He's a good-looking cove, too.
00:10:58Rollin' him, Nicker.
00:10:59His family makes caff espresso machines.
00:11:01When are we going to leave, Harry?
00:11:02How can we before the end of July?
00:11:04Yeah, that's just it.
00:11:05Gloria Van Eyde's flying out to him from Hollywood on APRO in June.
00:11:09Oh, it's a blooming shame.
00:11:11Sitting duck, too.
00:11:12That kicks a royal marriage in the kisser.
00:11:14Yeah, I suppose there's no chance of you...
00:11:16No, no, there wouldn't be.
00:11:17What?
00:11:18Well, that UNESCO competition you went in for.
00:11:21No.
00:11:22No.
00:11:23We didn't stand an earthly.
00:11:24Oh, it's a pity I was away, you know.
00:11:25I could have fixed that exam through my book-making interests.
00:11:28Show me an idiot.
00:11:29No, straight up, I could.
00:11:30An Oxford Don who specialises in up-and-down accumulators
00:11:32owes us 300 smackers.
00:11:34I could have shoved the papers at him.
00:11:35He'd have given us the right answers.
00:11:37So there's the reason.
00:11:38Well, it's too late now.
00:11:39The exam papers had to beat the Ministry of Education today.
00:11:41We've still got the questions here.
00:11:43Well, what's the good of that?
00:11:44They won't start marking them till Monday.
00:11:46How soon do you think we can get hold of that Don mug?
00:11:49You shouldn't have let those kids have that bring gun!
00:11:52Your honour is your thoughts!
00:12:02The coast's clear, Bridget.
00:12:16OK, Harry.
00:12:17Get it ready.
00:12:18You gonna be long?
00:12:31Lady, I'm talking to my mum.
00:12:33I've got to do it.
00:12:35OK, off you go.
00:12:48OK, off you go.
00:13:08A walk in Juflex 1908.
00:13:10I can open it standing on my head.
00:13:15I want to catch my husband before he comes off night duty.
00:13:18Hurry up, can't you?
00:13:19Lady, my mum's in bed with food.
00:13:21I might offer a report from the doctor.
00:13:24Have you got a lippy?
00:13:25Would you mind, lady?
00:13:27Look out, Bridget.
00:13:28Mobile cops.
00:13:29Cops.
00:13:30Judy, lights out.
00:13:33Cops go!
00:13:34Lights out!
00:13:35Switch the lights out, someone.
00:13:37Throw the curtains, girls, and I'll carry on.
00:13:46Could have sworn I saw a light go off there, Jack.
00:13:48Probably the night watchman.
00:13:50Better take a look.
00:13:51Hang on.
00:13:56One of them's getting out!
00:13:57Stand by to beat it.
00:13:59Someone's coming.
00:14:09Scramble!
00:14:10Ah!
00:14:11Ah!
00:14:12Beth May!
00:14:13How did you get in?
00:14:14The dog was blocked.
00:14:15WB calling 5E for Edward and 6E for Edward.
00:14:17Proceed at once to Hatton Garden.
00:14:19Stop and question driver of Black Humber.
00:14:21NGU 668.
00:14:22Believed to have been concerned in a diamond robbery.
00:14:24Hey, Jack!
00:14:25What is it?
00:14:26Emergency call.
00:14:27Haton Garden.
00:14:28Come on!
00:14:29Come on!
00:14:30Come on!
00:14:31Come on!
00:14:32Come on!
00:14:33Ecoute, gentlemen!
00:14:34Come on!
00:14:35Come on!
00:14:36The door!
00:14:37Give me!
00:14:38The door!
00:14:39No!
00:14:40My door!"
00:14:41Whaaat!
00:14:42Jeff!
00:14:43Help me!
00:14:44How did you get in?
00:14:45The dog was blocked.
00:14:47WB calling 5E for Edward and 6E for Edward.
00:14:48Oh, it's all right, Bridget.
00:14:55They've scarped it.
00:14:57It's okay, Ma.
00:14:58You've worn down your resistance.
00:15:06That's done it.
00:15:08Where's that torch?
00:15:15No, it's enough in here now.
00:15:17Girls, hold back.
00:15:19These are the exam papers.
00:15:20Quick, then let's find ours.
00:15:22Platt, have you got the new set ready?
00:15:23Yes, here they are.
00:15:24Here's ours.
00:15:30Okay.
00:15:32Now be careful to put those back in the same place.
00:15:34Yes, I will.
00:15:40Come on, let's go.
00:15:40Come on, let's go.
00:15:41All right.
00:15:42I know.
00:15:43There's a case out there.
00:15:44Okay.
00:15:45Great.
00:15:45I think Prestwick better find his own way out of that trouble.
00:16:01Yes, I rather agree with you.
00:16:04Come in.
00:16:06Ah, Miss Brenner.
00:16:07The results of the UNESCO examination, I presume.
00:16:09Yes, sir.
00:16:10Well, who is it?
00:16:11Cheltenham Ladies College?
00:16:13Wickham Abbey?
00:16:14Or Crouch End High School?
00:16:15Oh, no, sir.
00:16:15Oh, yes, yes, it must be.
00:16:27No, sir.
00:16:27St. Trinian's top politics, top history, top economics, top school.
00:16:35Well, it's absolutely fantastic.
00:16:37It's utterly incredible.
00:16:40And for such a thing to happen to us at a time like this is absolutely disastrous.
00:16:46Bassett!
00:16:47Bassett!
00:16:48Ah!
00:16:50Are you all right?
00:16:52I'll put this on the right.
00:17:12Why, surely it's...
00:17:14Yes, it's Joseph Mangan.
00:17:16You remember me, Mr. Roberts?
00:17:19How could I ever forget you?
00:17:20Yes, my wife.
00:17:22You do?
00:17:23We saw a lot of each other in the old days, you know.
00:17:26Oh, really?
00:17:27Oh, that's quite all right.
00:17:29I'm sure Joseph's are embarrassed.
00:17:31No, of course not.
00:17:32Thanks to you, sir, that's all behind me now.
00:17:35Those crime-doesn't-pay talks you gave us,
00:17:38now, they wouldn't necessarily appeal to everyone,
00:17:40but do you know they did me the world of good?
00:17:42I'll always be grateful.
00:17:43I've turned over a completely new leaf now, you know.
00:17:45Oh, I'm glad to hear that, Joe.
00:17:47And what are you doing now?
00:17:48Travelling?
00:17:49Travelling, yes.
00:17:50That's right, sir.
00:17:51Travelling, samples, men's ties, socks, things.
00:17:55Are you going far?
00:17:57No, as a matter of fact, I'm getting out of this station.
00:17:59What a pity.
00:18:00Oh, dear, never mind.
00:18:01You know, it's men like you that make me realise
00:18:03that a prison governor's job is an utterly pointless after all.
00:18:06Perish the thought, sir.
00:18:07Perish the thought, sir.
00:18:08And how are things?
00:18:09Oh, I mustn't grumble.
00:18:11Well, keep up the good work.
00:18:12Yes, I will.
00:18:13Yes.
00:18:14Goodbye, Mrs. Robertson.
00:18:15Goodbye.
00:18:15Goodbye.
00:18:15Goodbye.
00:18:18Bye.
00:18:19Fancy beating him like that.
00:18:21Joseph was at the top of his profession.
00:18:23Jelly Ignite Joe, they called him.
00:18:25Specialised in diamond robberies.
00:18:27They said that he was an incorrigible criminal.
00:18:29but I've always gone on the principle
00:18:31that nobody is beyond redemption.
00:18:37What's the matter, Henry?
00:18:38Oh, no.
00:18:41He's riding out of here down the road.
00:18:44Stop the train.
00:18:59Could you tell me the waiterson?
00:19:06What?
00:19:08Could you tell me the right time, Chris?
00:19:09Oh.
00:19:11What if I stayed?
00:19:12Oh.
00:19:13Thank you very much.
00:19:15Good night.
00:19:21Did you hear what he said?
00:19:23Could you tell me the waiterson?
00:19:25And then he noticed our uniforms.
00:19:27That could only mean St Trinian.
00:19:29What does it matter, Sammy?
00:19:30You are awful.
00:19:30You suspect everybody.
00:19:32It's my duty to, Ruby.
00:19:33Yes, but we're off duty now, darling.
00:19:35I expect he was a commercial traveller or something.
00:19:36Let's forget him.
00:19:37Look, if you could take your halls
00:19:39the first two weeks in June,
00:19:40we could go to the Isle of Wight.
00:19:42Well, it's not going to be so easy, my dear.
00:19:44Well, there won't be anything to do around here
00:19:45once they more takes over.
00:19:47I think we ought to wait and see.
00:19:48Oh, Sammy, you promised me faithfully
00:19:51that as soon as things were under control at St Trin's,
00:19:53it would be a white wedding and the Isle of Wight.
00:19:56It was our little joke.
00:19:58Remember?
00:19:59Yes, I remember.
00:20:00Well, that was ages ago,
00:20:01and ever since then we seem to have drifted.
00:20:03Oh, no, we haven't, Ruby.
00:20:05Yes, we have.
00:20:06I don't think you realise how much you've changed.
00:20:09You used to call me your little blue lamp baby.
00:20:13Well, we've grown up a bit since then.
00:20:15Do you know,
00:20:16sometimes I don't think you really want to marry me at all.
00:20:19Well, of course I do, Ruby.
00:20:21Well, I'm not the only one who thinks so.
00:20:23It's the talk of the police women's powder room.
00:20:24What business is it of those female flat feet?
00:20:28You can't stop us girls gossiping.
00:20:30You know what would put things right, don't you?
00:20:32Oh, what?
00:20:33Speak to the chief tomorrow.
00:20:34Tomorrow?
00:20:35Oh, please, Sammy, it means so much to me.
00:20:37I do so adore you, you silly old superintendent.
00:20:41Just think, two weeks in June.
00:20:43Wedding, all saints on May the 31st.
00:20:46Oh, fabulous day.
00:20:47Speak to the vicar tomorrow evening about the bands.
00:20:51Yes, well, I don't think we ought to rush our fences.
00:20:54There aren't any more fences to rush.
00:20:56Oh, that's no reason for making it a five furlong sprint.
00:20:58Oh, do be romantic, just for once.
00:21:00Just think, in a few weeks, on the beach at Ventnor.
00:21:02Me in my spotted sun top,
00:21:05and you in your striped shorts.
00:21:07I threw them away last winter.
00:21:09Well, I'll get you a glorious new pair at Nicholson's.
00:21:11Oh, now, look here, Ruby,
00:21:12I'm not having you going into Nicholson's and...
00:21:15In a case, it's time we were getting back.
00:21:16Oh, must we?
00:21:17Yes, well, I mean, the night squad comes on at 9.30, you know,
00:21:19and there'll be one in the car.
00:21:20All right.
00:21:21You're the master.
00:21:28I think we ought to change that over now, Ruby.
00:21:30Oh, Sally, it's so us.
00:21:33We are nearing the town, you know.
00:21:36Left the train at Fort Bridge-Barset at 7.40,
00:21:39wearing a light grey overcoat and carrying a brown suitcase.
00:21:42Believed to be concerned,
00:21:43it's a Hatton Garden diamond robbery of the 14th instant.
00:21:47Oh, Sammy, what have you done?
00:21:56Come here.
00:22:01Oh, phew.
00:22:02Hello, Dad, it is nice to see you.
00:22:03I got your postcard.
00:22:04Good.
00:22:05My word, you are getting a big girl, aren't you?
00:22:07You haven't pulled off another job, have you?
00:22:09Oh, well, well, just a small one.
00:22:11Keep me handed.
00:22:12Thought I'd make myself scarce for a while.
00:22:13Yes, well, never mind that.
00:22:13I'll take you to see Flash Harry.
00:22:14You'll be all right here.
00:22:15Flash Harry?
00:22:16Is he still here?
00:22:17Riffraff, that's what he is.
00:22:18Flash is all right.
00:22:19You know, I just don't understand why we picked on this place.
00:22:22I mean, your mother could well have afforded to send you
00:22:24to one of the better public schools
00:22:25after that marvellous clean-up she made at Lord What's-His-Name's Place.
00:22:27Yeah, well, come on.
00:22:28All right.
00:22:33Are you there, sir?
00:22:34Yes, what is it?
00:22:35A cable, sir, for the new headmistress, sir.
00:22:37I'll take it.
00:22:39Will there be anything else, sir?
00:22:40Not a thing, Johnson.
00:22:41Not, not a thing.
00:22:43Now, now, darling, darling,
00:22:45that says Dame Mort Hacksaw to await arrival.
00:22:49Oh, my goodness.
00:22:50I've got to see Harry.
00:22:53And I am happy to tell, Your Highness,
00:22:55that St Trinian's
00:22:58has won this here an ESCO competition.
00:23:01It, no, cross out this here.
00:23:04And we shall be with Your Highness in Rome
00:23:07at the end of June.
00:23:09I am your obedient servant, etc.
00:23:12Come on.
00:23:14Flash, this is my father.
00:23:15I got a postcard from him, remember?
00:23:17I do.
00:23:18It's all right, Father.
00:23:19Mavis is a friend of mine.
00:23:20Really?
00:23:21Charming.
00:23:22Hello, Mavis.
00:23:23Hello, Mr Mangan.
00:23:23I do.
00:23:24Well, I've heard a lot about you.
00:23:25Have you?
00:23:25Yeah, from Myrna.
00:23:27Here, I don't want to see him in hospital, Mr Mangan,
00:23:28but you ain't come visiting at a very convenient time.
00:23:31We've got the eye we've billeted on us.
00:23:33You listen to me, Henry.
00:23:33Harry, sir, no.
00:23:34Harry, you listen to me.
00:23:35I'm going abroad very shortly,
00:23:37but before I go,
00:23:38I want to spend a few days with my little girl, see?
00:23:40Not here.
00:23:41Why not?
00:23:42This is a girl's school.
00:23:43Men ain't safe here.
00:23:44You'll have to put up in the town.
00:23:45I'm not going in the town.
00:23:47You in any trouble?
00:23:49Ooh.
00:23:51You mean eating garlic?
00:23:52Yeah, I've just come back from Rome.
00:23:53You know, when in Rome,
00:23:55I said you in any trouble.
00:23:57Trouble?
00:23:57Ah, you know.
00:23:59Now, my dear friend,
00:24:00that's all been behind me for ages.
00:24:01Ages.
00:24:02Simply, some fellas I used to get about with
00:24:04got themselves into a bit of a spot.
00:24:06I don't want to be around
00:24:07when they start asking questions, that's all.
00:24:09Oh, well, if that's all you should have said.
00:24:11Here, Mavis, get him a drink.
00:24:12Only I've got a fair name of the school
00:24:13to think of, you understand?
00:24:14Yes, I do appreciate that, Henry.
00:24:15Harry.
00:24:17Harry, I appreciate that.
00:24:19I don't know what's going on,
00:24:20but three carloads of cops are on their way here.
00:24:22What's right?
00:24:23They've just been spotted
00:24:24by our walkie-talkie outpost
00:24:25watching from our Hackshaw.
00:24:26How long before they get here, my dear?
00:24:27A couple of minutes.
00:24:28We'll smuggle you into the school, Dad.
00:24:29Thank you, dear.
00:24:29That'll be nice.
00:24:30Hey, Harry,
00:24:30what do you mean by giving us
00:24:31all that innocent stuff?
00:24:33We've got enough trouble on our hands as it is.
00:24:34I shouldn't say we have.
00:24:35Just look at this here.
00:24:36Now, don't bother me now.
00:24:37Come on.
00:24:37I want to ask you a few questions.
00:24:38There happen to be questions
00:24:39and I don't want to answer
00:24:40and just to clinch the matter,
00:24:41you've never so much
00:24:42as even set eyes on me.
00:24:42Is that absolutely crystal clear, my friend?
00:24:45I'll take that.
00:24:46Oh, come on, Dad.
00:24:47This way.
00:24:48Harry.
00:24:49I wish I hadn't met him.
00:24:50Henry.
00:24:51Harry.
00:24:52What's knocking you?
00:24:53It's a telegram for Dame Maud Hackshaw.
00:24:55Aye?
00:24:58Contrary to all expectations,
00:24:59St Trinians have won
00:25:01UNESCO competition
00:25:02for Continental Tour.
00:25:04To avoid poisoning
00:25:05Western-European relations,
00:25:08we urge you
00:25:08to withdraw school
00:25:09immediately on your arrival.
00:25:12Culpepper Brown,
00:25:13Ministry of Education.
00:25:14The dirty swine.
00:25:15This puts the skids on room.
00:25:17Here, go and get the school together
00:25:18in the hall.
00:25:19We'll hold a council of war.
00:25:20My horoscope said
00:25:21it would be a day of trouble.
00:25:33It's gusty silence.
00:25:34I can't stand.
00:25:35I know, sir.
00:25:36Not hearing anything.
00:25:37I know it.
00:25:38Hello, B Company.
00:25:40It's Brigade, sir.
00:25:41This is from War Office.
00:25:42What is it?
00:25:43Dame Maud Hackshaw's plane landed
00:25:451800 hours
00:25:46and trained 1930.
00:25:49Estimated time of arrival
00:25:50St Trinians,
00:25:502100 hours.
00:25:53Eric, must draw troops
00:25:54to full equipment
00:25:54in 15 minutes.
00:25:55We're moving out.
00:25:57Where can I, sir?
00:26:00Good evening, Major.
00:26:01Good evening.
00:26:01We're looking for a wanted criminal
00:26:02who we have reason to believe
00:26:03may be hiding in the school.
00:26:04There are at least 200 of them here,
00:26:05my dear fellow.
00:26:06I know that.
00:26:07The point is,
00:26:07can I have your permission
00:26:08to search the premises?
00:26:09You have my permission
00:26:09to have the premises.
00:26:10We are signing off, old boy.
00:26:12Dame Maud Hackshaw's taking over.
00:26:14I feel 10 years younger.
00:26:16Here, wait a minute.
00:26:17You're not leaving us alone here.
00:26:18Oh, it's all right, sir.
00:26:18I've taken advantage
00:26:19of the emergency regulations.
00:26:21Our men are armed.
00:26:22Are they?
00:26:27Everything under control, Mackay?
00:26:28Yes, sir.
00:26:28I've posted men
00:26:29all around the building.
00:26:30Good.
00:26:30Then we'll search the ground
00:26:31for and sell us first
00:26:32and then move upwards.
00:26:33You take the westling, Mackay,
00:26:34and I'll cover the east.
00:26:36Oh, and remember,
00:26:36take care to move only in pairs.
00:26:38Who's that?
00:26:49Oh, don't worry about her.
00:26:50That's Virginia,
00:26:51the school SWAT.
00:27:06Hmm.
00:27:08They're out there
00:27:09in strength, all right.
00:27:10They must know something.
00:27:13What the devil
00:27:14am I going to do?
00:27:18Wish this place
00:27:19wasn't so distracting.
00:27:30All present and correct, sir.
00:27:31What do you mean,
00:27:31all present and correct?
00:27:32Only half of them are here.
00:27:33Fifty-four in hospital,
00:27:34thirty-two absent without leave,
00:27:35seven drunk and incapable,
00:27:36otherwise all present and correct, sir.
00:27:38Oh, well.
00:27:40What's going on in there?
00:27:41Well, I've had it from intelligence, sir,
00:27:42that the girls are holding
00:27:43a protest meeting.
00:27:44What, the entire school?
00:27:45I believe so, sir.
00:27:46Ah, this is the opportunity
00:27:47I've been waiting for.
00:27:48Before I leave this dump,
00:27:50I'm going to tell those little fiends
00:27:51exactly what I think of them.
00:27:51Oh, no, sir.
00:27:52I face Rommel in Africa
00:27:53and the Japs in Burma
00:27:54and I'm not going to run away
00:27:55from a pack of schoolgirls
00:27:56without giving them
00:27:57a piece of my mind.
00:27:58Well, mine not to reason why, sir,
00:27:59but I consider this as ill-advised
00:28:01as to charge the Light Brigade.
00:28:03You know, I think this place
00:28:03is sending him round the bend.
00:28:05He's after another gong,
00:28:06in my opinion.
00:28:07Reginald,
00:28:07that's a very ungenerous remark
00:28:09to make about a gallant soldier.
00:28:11What the?
00:28:11Put me down!
00:28:13Well, what do we do, attack?
00:28:15I don't think the men will respond.
00:28:18Yes, I see what you mean.
00:28:20You can't just stand here
00:28:21and do nothing.
00:28:21What's got a white flag, sir?
00:28:23I mean, it's an entry measure.
00:28:30Well, don't stand there
00:28:31staring like a couple of idiots!
00:28:33Let's get out of this hellhole!
00:28:39Where to, miss?
00:28:40Get in that driving seat!
00:28:42Oh!
00:28:55Fixing her won't get us anywhere!
00:29:03Listen!
00:29:04Listen!
00:29:06Listen!
00:29:09Now, look here.
00:29:10Bridget's quite right.
00:29:11Knobbling the old lady
00:29:12ain't gonna get us to the continent.
00:29:13Now, what we want is a ringer.
00:29:15And for the benefit of you young'uns
00:29:16who might not know about racing,
00:29:18a ringer is a nag
00:29:19who ain't the nag you think he is.
00:29:20Now, look.
00:29:20I think we've got one in the stable.
00:29:22It's a little bit risky,
00:29:23but if we all act organised
00:29:24and no muck in the barn...
00:29:25OK, what we want is it?
00:29:36We'll have...
00:29:37Oh, my God.
00:30:07Oh, my God.
00:30:37Oh, my God.
00:31:07Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
00:31:21Hey!
00:31:24We've seen a man!
00:31:25He's in the club tower!
00:31:26Come on!
00:31:37Hey!
00:31:39Hatchell's just coming up the drive!
00:31:49Get cranky and make it snappy!
00:32:01Welcome to our School Game board!
00:32:03Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
00:32:33Janions and Janions will never die.
00:32:36Try to put your fortune boldly on your way.
00:32:40Never mind you'll get in the trouble every day.
00:32:43Let our mother be broke up, get your boy first.
00:32:47She's broken, so not all, it comes to bust.
00:32:58Nobody up here.
00:33:00That clock's fast.
00:33:15Psst! Psst!
00:33:18Come here.
00:33:21You're looking for someone, aren't you?
00:33:23How do you know?
00:33:24Oh, word gets around in a joint like this.
00:33:26If I was you, I wouldn't relax none of your precautions.
00:33:28I have no intention of doing so.
00:33:30I'm facing men around the entire building until further notice.
00:33:32Oh, I'm very glad to hear it, Super.
00:33:34Very glad indeed.
00:33:35Whose side are you on?
00:33:37I'm a neutral observer.
00:33:39Psst!
00:33:43Okay?
00:33:44Yeah.
00:33:45Well, are they gone?
00:33:46Yeah, they're gone.
00:33:47But not far.
00:33:48I've just been pumping a superintendent.
00:33:50He ain't been to relax none of his precautions.
00:33:52What do you mean?
00:33:53He's posting men all round the entire building.
00:34:01Until further notice.
00:34:04Now, let's get this quite clear.
00:34:07I have no intention of being run to earth in a female borstal.
00:34:12A thing like that would ruin me with the boys.
00:34:14Well, uh, there might be a way out.
00:34:16What?
00:34:17Well, you, uh, you could take the school to Europe.
00:34:20What, me?
00:34:21Instead of Dame Maud?
00:34:22What, like this?
00:34:23Things are coming off the moment the coast is clear.
00:34:25Great heavens, I'd rather do a stretch.
00:34:27Mr Mangan, we've only got to open the window.
00:34:30And you can do it.
00:34:31What?
00:34:32We wouldn't really want to do a thing like that, Mr Mangan.
00:34:39Blackmail.
00:34:40That's what it is.
00:34:41Blackmail.
00:34:42Hey, get back, can't you?
00:34:44Let a lady work!
00:34:55...inclusion that it would be an error of the first magnitude
00:34:57to prevent their visiting Europe.
00:34:59I have therefore decided to take them on this continental tour,
00:35:02and I should be obliged if you would make the necessary arrangements for our departure.
00:35:05Yours truly, Maud Hackshaw, D.B.E.
00:35:07But it's incredible, sir.
00:35:10I find it difficult to believe that a woman of Dame Maud's experience
00:35:13could possibly write that sort of letter.
00:35:15Always supposing she did, sir.
00:35:16Oh, well...
00:35:18Surely not, Bassett.
00:35:23No.
00:35:24There is no question.
00:35:25You can see it yourselves.
00:35:26It's genuine, all right.
00:35:28No doubt about that.
00:35:33Excuse me, are you finished with the sugar?
00:35:35Yeah, old governor.
00:35:38I am afraid we have no alternative, gentlemen,
00:35:40but to face this thing, like men.
00:35:43Thank you very much, indeed.
00:35:44And let them go to Europe, sir.
00:35:47Well, what else?
00:35:48I leave it to you to make the necessary arrangements.
00:35:51After all, it's your department, Bassett.
00:35:54And I have a fair amount of confidence in you.
00:35:59I suppose you couldn't extend the tour for a couple of weeks, could you, a man?
00:36:02Take in the Scandinavian countries as well.
00:36:04My word, there'd be something rotten in the state of Denmark then, all right.
00:36:06From the bottom of my heart, Pressford, please.
00:36:08Only one thing for it, old man.
00:36:10Open a vase.
00:36:12Here, take these.
00:36:13I shan't be needing them again for some time.
00:36:15Keep the box.
00:36:18Oh!
00:36:19And on the 9th, there's an athletics match in Amsterdam.
00:36:33And on the 15th, they are invited to take part in the Vienna Mozart Festival.
00:36:37Mozart?
00:36:38Oh, no, Miss Brenner, it's not true.
00:36:40And on the 21st, they are challenged to a water polo match in Rome.
00:36:44That's a tough game for girls.
00:36:45Won't be a game.
00:36:46It'll be liquid massacre.
00:36:48Oh, we're supposing that our girls can swim.
00:36:50Our girls?
00:36:51Oh, for heaven's sake, Miss Brenner.
00:36:52Mr. Bassett!
00:36:53Yes?
00:36:54What's the matter now?
00:36:55I've tried every transport agency in London.
00:36:57Not one of them will touch the store.
00:36:59Are you surprised?
00:37:00No, sir.
00:37:01Only exhausted.
00:37:03Get me Superintendent Kemp Byrd at Barset.
00:37:07He's another battle-scarred veteran.
00:37:09I'll try the old comrades act on him.
00:37:12Hello.
00:37:14Your station headed description at 8-5.
00:37:16It was 9-15 before anything was done about it.
00:37:19Then when at last they do contact you, on no evidence at all,
00:37:22you call out half the police in the county and descend on a girls' school.
00:37:25Mengen's daughter is at the school, sir.
00:37:27For that very reason, I should have thought that would be the last place he'd choose to go.
00:37:31Superintendent, this case has been grossly mishandled.
00:37:34I shall have to consider very seriously what action to take.
00:37:46Who is it?
00:37:48It's me.
00:37:49Can I come in?
00:37:51Did you speak to him, Sammy?
00:37:52About what?
00:37:53About us, silly.
00:37:54Your holiday.
00:37:55If you want to know, he's thinking of giving me a very long holiday.
00:37:59Good eggs, Sammy.
00:38:00How long?
00:38:02My hat.
00:38:03I've left my hat.
00:38:06Ah.
00:38:08I do hope you don't mind my saying this, sir, but you've made me a very happy policewoman.
00:38:11He didn't seem to understand.
00:38:18The chief simply came here to tell me that I'd made a complete mess of everything.
00:38:22What could I say?
00:38:23Nothing.
00:38:25Because I was sitting in the back of a police car with a policewoman with a police radio tuned to the BBC.
00:38:30Crumbs, it's a bit awkward, isn't it?
00:38:33I'm glad that's sunk in.
00:38:35But we can't expect any help from the chief, or Scotland Yard, or anybody now.
00:38:38I've simply got to catch this fellow mangun off my own bat or I'm out of my ear.
00:38:43I see. I do see. Of course we must catch him. My own happiness depends upon it.
00:38:48My job depends upon it.
00:38:52Hello.
00:38:53Look, Superintendent, I'm absolutely at my wit's end.
00:38:55I wondered if you could possibly help me.
00:38:58Oh. What about?
00:39:00Well, I've got to get transport, staff drivers, interpreters, and goodness knows what else for this St Trinian's trip abroad.
00:39:06It just occurred to me that it might be better to try and obtain the transport locally.
00:39:11I should have thought, Mr. Bassett, that this would have been the very last district in the whole of the United Kingdom,
00:39:16where you could expect to find anyone who would be willing to transport St Trinians anywhere, except over a cliff.
00:39:22Well, I'm simply trying the more obvious channels first.
00:39:25Later, no doubt, I shall reach the Orkneys and Shetlands.
00:39:28Very well, Mr. Bassett. I'll see what I can do.
00:39:32Goodbye.
00:39:35Sergeant, find out if there's anyone insane enough to provide coaches to take some Trinians on a tour of the continent.
00:39:41You're not serious, sir.
00:39:43I never joke about that place.
00:39:47You know, Ruby, I'm absolutely convinced that there's some sort of conspiracy going on there.
00:39:51We know Mangan asked us the way to the school.
00:39:54Yes, but we can't tell anyone.
00:39:55No.
00:39:56So I'm all alone in the doghouse.
00:39:58You've got me, Sammy.
00:40:00You?
00:40:01How do you think your...
00:40:03Who be?
00:40:04How are your foreign languages?
00:40:06Oh, um, peu de français.
00:40:11No, Sammy.
00:40:12No, Sammy.
00:40:13Good heavens, yes.
00:40:14He said they needed interpreters.
00:40:15No, please, Sammy.
00:40:16You could disguise yourself, do your hair differently.
00:40:17No, it's not fair.
00:40:18Well, no-one would recognise you at the school after all these years.
00:40:20How can you humiliate me like this?
00:40:22I'm an English woman with all the feelings of an English woman.
00:40:26Ruby, dear.
00:40:28Everything now rests on us catching this criminal.
00:40:30Don't you see that?
00:40:31Yes, I do, but I wish you could be someone else.
00:40:33I just don't feel competent.
00:40:36You're not.
00:40:38But there isn't anyone else.
00:40:40Yes?
00:40:42You've been very quick.
00:40:43The answers came in very quick, sir.
00:40:44They won't do it.
00:40:45Any of them.
00:40:46You've tried everyone?
00:40:47Every single firm.
00:40:48Except that chap near Wantage, and he's had his phone cut off.
00:40:50You mean the fellow we served the Ritz on?
00:40:52Yes, sir.
00:40:53He might be just the man for the job.
00:40:54Desperate for money and all that.
00:40:56Captain in the Ministry of Education.
00:40:57Yes.
00:40:59What did you say that fellow's name was?
00:41:01Uh, Captain Carlton Ricketts.
00:41:03Trades as the Dreadnought Motor Traction Company.
00:41:06But I don't think he's quite that desperate, sir.
00:41:14Well, at that sight.
00:41:15Any of your enemies?
00:41:16My teammates stay in danger.
00:41:17My teammates, may they drop me, to Orange City.
00:41:18I can't lie without you on camera.
00:41:19You and Eden extremes with your head.

00:51:04Why pick on you?
00:51:05Well, nobody else would take it, sir.
00:51:08Mr Bassett, he said that my pension was in jeopardy, sir, if I didn't go.
00:51:13Flaming bureaucratocracy.
00:51:15Yeah?
00:51:16Oh, well.
00:51:27Who are you, old man?
00:51:28I'm from the Ministry of Education, so I'm in charge of the party.
00:51:32Fair enough.
00:51:33Are you in charge here? I'm Ursula Bleuid, interpreter.
00:51:38How do you do? No, no, he's in charge, or so he says, and I wouldn't put it past him.
00:51:43Where would you like me to sit?
00:51:45Oh, perhaps you'd better sit next to me and work the windscreen wiper.
00:51:48She thinks I'm jerking.
00:51:55You ready?
00:51:56Yeah.
00:51:57Look, keep those photographers off me, won't you?
00:51:59Oh, yeah, you're right now.
00:52:00We don't want them looking up the back numbers of the police gazette.
00:52:02Here, stuff this over your mug until you get in the chatter.
00:52:04Right.
00:52:05And watch your carriage.
00:52:06Watch how you walk.
00:52:07Right.
00:52:18So far, so good.
00:52:48Here, do you know who that interpreter is?
00:53:04She's a copper.
00:53:05You're joking.
00:53:06No, straight up.
00:53:07Sergeant Gates, her name.
00:53:08She'd been knocking around with the head copper from Barsit, my donkey's years.
00:53:11Well, what's she doing here?
00:53:12Oh, search me.
00:53:13Gosh.
00:53:14We'd better ditch her.
00:53:15Yeah, don't you dare.
00:53:16Don't you harm me out of her head.
00:53:18She's gonna come in nice and handy.
00:53:27Do you go abroad much, Miss Bluett?
00:53:29No, not really.
00:53:30Only soon, if I'm lucky, I hope to go to the Isle of Capri.
00:53:33Oh, Capri.
00:53:34Any romantic reasons for choosing Capri?
00:53:37No.
00:53:38No, no.
00:53:39It's just that when I get my little nest egg, I promise myself I'll travel.
00:53:43You have expectations, Miss Bluett?
00:53:45Honestly, I'd rather not speak about it.
00:53:48The ships will pass in the night.
00:53:50Any signals we care to exchange will be borne away on the wind.
00:53:54Well, I shouldn't say so, but Granny has said in so many words that when she passes over, she won't forget me.
00:53:59But naturally, I hope nothing happens to her.
00:54:02Oh, naturally, naturally.
00:54:03Well, how are you, Johnny?
00:54:04Nice crossing, Miss Bluett, out there.
00:54:06How old is she?
00:54:07Eighty-seven.
00:54:08Eighty-seven.
00:54:09Tigger all right?
00:54:10Oh, she's wonderful for her age.
00:54:12Surely good.
00:54:13Well looked after, I trust.
00:54:15Oh, Mrs. Briggs, that's the housekeeper.
00:54:16She's awfully good, too.
00:54:17And of course, there's Mimi and Fifi.
00:54:19The maids?
00:54:20No, kitty cats.
00:54:21Cats.
00:54:22She's not interested in animal welfare or cat's hospital or anything like that, is she?
00:54:26No, I don't think so.
00:54:28Oh, very good.
00:54:29Well, this is only Mrs. Briggs to worry about.
00:54:30I mean, to worry about your granny.
00:54:32Um, Miss Bluett, we've seen a lot of each other on this tour.
00:54:35May I call you Ursula?
00:54:37Why?
00:54:38Oh, um, yes, do.
00:54:40My close friends, I'm known as Romney.
00:54:43Would you care to join that happy band?
00:54:50Hey, Gwyneth.
00:54:51I notice that you're not the same as the other girls.
00:54:53I saw that in a flash.
00:54:55As a matter of fact, I'd rather trust you than my own daughter.
00:54:57Mona's got a nasty streak she has.
00:54:59Nasty.
00:55:00It's on her mother's side, it is.
00:55:02Now, I've got a feeling that you've never really let me down.
00:55:05What do you want me to do, Mr. Mangan?
00:55:08Well, I'll tell you.
00:55:10I'm gonna ditch this lot the moment we reach Calais and beat it.
00:55:13Now, what I want you to do...
00:55:14I don't think that's wise, Mr. Mangan.
00:55:16Wise? Why not?
00:55:17Well, you see that woman along there?
00:55:18Yes.
00:55:19Do you know who she is?
00:55:20Yes, the interpreter.
00:55:21She's Police Sergeant Gates of the Bassett Police.
00:55:25Well, what are you doing here?
00:55:27We don't know.
00:55:28Ah.
00:55:29Well, thank you very much for the warning, Mavis.
00:55:34But I'll be leaving her behind at Calais, too.
00:55:35Now, listen.
00:55:36I don't think you will, Mr. Mangan, because we must get to Rome.
00:55:38No, dear.
00:55:39I keep telling you, I'm not going to Rome.
00:55:41Oh, but you are, Mr. Mangan.
00:55:43No.
00:55:44My dear, sweet, pretty little friend.
00:55:45That's where you misunderstand me.
00:55:46No, Mr. Mangan.
00:55:47That's where you misunderstand us.
00:55:48You see, we have to have a headmistress.
00:55:50And you're the only one we've got.
00:55:52That's right.
00:55:53You're stuck with it, see?
00:55:54You shouldn't have come visiting your daughter in the first place.
00:55:56It wasn't half-term or nothing.
00:55:58Phew.
00:55:59Phew.
00:56:00You're evil.
00:56:01You are.
00:56:02Really evil.
00:56:03Of course, I do a lot of philosophising in my lips.
00:56:18I say to meself, always be nice to people on the way up.
00:56:23You might have to bring them down again.
00:56:53It seems the same.
00:56:54It has to be just one day and be able to отв илиam일 with me…
00:57:03And for now I'm never going towerkze a noself…
00:57:08Ging in a mouth where you are as .
00:57:13It yeah?
00:57:14Yeah?
00:57:15Yes.
00:57:16And so nila I'm not reflective in the way out.
00:57:20All of us.
00:57:21Life's so full of rhythm, isn't it?
00:57:24Jolly good band.
00:57:26There's something so different about the French.
00:57:29They're so romantic.
00:57:31Yes, but are they sincere?
00:57:41Oh, no, Romney, no. I mustn't.
00:57:51Say, what on earth did you do that for?
00:57:53I've got something to tell you, Romney. I'm engaged to be married.
00:57:56Well, I'm blurred.
00:57:58Why didn't you tell me before? Not even wearing a ring.
00:58:01I took it off before he came away.
00:58:03Why?
00:58:04Well, because I didn't... I can't tell you, Romney.
00:58:06You don't love him?
00:58:08Yes, I do. I've been engaged for years.
00:58:10How many years?
00:58:12Fourteen.
00:58:13Fourteen? Well, that's not decent.
00:58:16Yes, it is. It's terribly decent.
00:58:19What a love.
00:58:21It's lasting love.
00:58:22Everlasting.
00:58:24Oh, Romney.
00:58:26Don't cry, my dear.
00:58:28Just drink up your cafe au lait.
00:58:30We'll take a quiet stroll down the champs
00:58:32and chew the whole thing over, eh?
00:58:49We'll take it back.
00:58:50Let's sing it to you.
00:58:51Thanks.
00:58:55Oh, we're singing.
00:58:56With this song, let's sing it to you.
00:58:58We've got a song, that's what I'm singing,
00:58:59that's great for you.
00:59:00We're singing, that's what you've got to say,
00:59:01What's under the road?
00:59:02Let's sing it to you.
00:59:03You see?
00:59:04Yeah?
00:59:05I'm singing.
00:59:06To me.
00:59:07I'm singing, what's under the name?
00:59:08You can sing it to you.
00:59:09You can sing it to you,
00:59:10You can sing it to me.
00:59:12You can sing it to you.
00:59:13You can sing it to you.
01:01:22I don't get you, old girl.
01:01:23I've been lying to you, Romney.
01:01:25Not about Granny.
01:01:26Oh, no, that part's true.
01:01:27Oh, well, what part isn't?
01:01:30I'm not a proper interpreter.
01:01:32I'm in the police force.
01:01:40Look, you must listen to me.
01:01:42Whatever they've told you isn't true.
01:01:44You see, I got this check from a man in a pub in Maidenhead.
01:01:47Complete strange to me.
01:01:49Besides, I made a point of disclosing the fact that I was an undischarged bankrupt.
01:01:52I don't know what you're talking about.
01:01:54Oh?
01:01:55Don't you?
01:01:55You see, I'm here on a special case.
01:01:58What sort of a case?
01:01:59You must, I tell you.
01:02:00Why, she surely won't think you should.
01:02:02Give me all the way to gaff about being an interpreter.
01:02:05Lead me up the garden path.
01:02:06Please don't talk to me like that, Romney.
01:02:08I'm such a crazy, mixed-up policewoman.
01:02:10Well, how do you think I feel?
01:02:12One second we're swapping sweet nothings to a Neapolitan love song.
01:02:14The next moment we're up to our nostrils and Agatha Christie.
01:02:17Chapter's nowhere he stands.
01:02:19Well, I'll try and explain.
01:02:21You see, it's simply that...
01:02:24It can't be.
01:02:24I must be going mad.
01:02:26What are you chibbering about?
01:02:27Do you see that man over there in the dark glasses?
01:02:30Hmm?
01:02:30Does he remind you of anyone?
01:02:32Seems familiar, or is he?
01:02:33Well, I think it's Dame Maud.
01:02:35But it can't be, can it?
01:02:37Dame Maud?
01:02:38Are you off your rocker?
01:02:40I must have a closer look, to be sure.
01:02:43I'll explain to you later.
01:02:44But you know, it would make sense.
01:02:46Well, it's more than it does to me.
01:02:47Don't worry.
01:02:48You won't see me.
01:02:49I'm trained for this sort of work.
01:03:05Well, it's my man.
01:03:07I don't know.
01:03:08You'll see me.
01:03:12Good day, my dear.
01:03:14Merci beaucoup.
01:03:15Et sa va mi-o.
01:03:16Que sera?
01:03:18Será?
01:03:19Merci.
01:03:20Merci beaucoup.
01:03:21Alfie, esaie.
01:03:22What kind of language, Dad?
01:03:25Italian.
01:03:26Italian.
01:03:27Bad.
01:03:28Who did I?
01:03:30I'll take a silly smile off your face.
01:03:34An English policewoman.
01:03:35Don't look now, but he spoke to me in Italian.
01:03:41I'm absolutely certain he's...
01:03:43Darling, I'll explain to you while I'm here.
01:03:45Look, about two weeks ago in Hatton Garden, there was the most enormous diamond robbery.
01:03:49You see, we don't know what the diamonds are worth, but we know that the underwriters
01:03:56are offering a reward of 10,000 pounds.
01:03:5910?
01:04:0010,000?
01:04:01Yes.
01:04:02Listen, Ursula, Ruby, whatever the name is, we've got to keep tags on this cello and we'll
01:04:07let Lolly about it.
01:04:08This is a chance in a lifetime.
01:04:09A botheration.
01:04:10What's up now?
01:04:11He's gone.
01:04:12Waiter.
01:04:13Garcon.
01:04:14There are more important things than the reward, darling.
01:04:17I must telegraph Sammy.
01:04:18It's my duty.
01:04:19Duty?
01:04:20What are you talking about?
01:04:25Sammy, dear, have proof Joe Mangan has disguised himself as Dame Maud?
01:04:31Arrive and...
01:04:35Get with the Chief Constable right away.
01:04:38Come in.
01:04:40There's a Dame Maud Hackshaw to see you, sir.
01:04:43Who?
01:04:44So she's headmistress of St Trinian's.
01:04:46Oh, she does, does she?
01:04:48This is a stroke of luck.
01:04:50Show her in.
01:04:51This way, madam.
01:04:52And so, Mr. Carl Pepper Brown, I am resigning, forthwith.
01:04:58Forthwith?
01:04:59And what is more, I am returning to Australia by the first book.
01:05:04Steerage if necessary.
01:05:05Oh, my dear Dame Maud.
01:05:06I just can't apologise enough.
01:05:07Turn all over, children, right?
01:05:08Well, of course.
01:05:09Oh, I don't think ever in my whole experience have I ever had to listen before to so grizzly
01:05:13a tale.
01:05:14It will now be your unhappy task, Bassett, to bring back to England this little brood of
01:05:19Vestal handmaidens.
01:05:20Bassett, you will take the first plane to Rome.
01:05:23Oh, my dear Dame Maud, I just can't apologise enough.
01:05:25Turn all over, children, right?
01:05:26Well, of course.
01:05:27Oh.
01:05:28I don't think ever in my whole experience have I ever had to listen before to so, so grizzly
01:05:29a tale.
01:05:30It will now be your unhappy task, Bassett, to bring back to England this little brood of
01:05:33Vestal handmaidens.
01:05:35Bassett, you will take the first plane to Rome.
01:05:49The trouble is, as a policewoman, I may not be able to claim the reward.
01:05:52Don't worry, we'll claim it in my name instead of 50-50.
01:05:55What are we out about?
01:05:56Oh, no, you must have half.
01:05:59What we've got to do is to get in this chap's bags before he gets rid of the stuff.
01:06:05If it gets any hotter, I shall have to take my pullover off.
01:06:33I say flowers.
01:06:34Flowers?
01:06:35From?
01:06:36From UNESCO, maybe.
01:06:37That's likely.
01:06:38From Miss Frippenpatts wishing us good luck.
01:06:39Don't be silly, you can't send flowers from Holloway.
01:06:40They're for Prince Bruno.
01:06:41For all of us.
01:06:42Gosh.
01:06:43Cynthia, here's yours.
01:06:44What is yours say?
01:06:45To charming Marjorie.
01:06:46I look forward with unbounded pleasure to meeting you.
01:06:47All the same.
01:06:48They're all the same.
01:06:49They're all the same.
01:06:50He's making sure we all start from scratch.
01:06:51I hope you've got the right pass, King.
01:06:56You'd better be or make it hot for that porter.
01:06:57I don't lash Leur around for nothing.
01:06:58You watch the door.
01:06:59You watch the door.
01:07:00I've got the right pass, King.
01:07:01You've got the right pass, King.
01:07:02You'd better be or make it hot for that porter.
01:07:03I don't lash Leur around for nothing.
01:07:07I hope you've got the right pass, King.
01:07:13You'd better be or make it hot for that porter.
01:07:15I don't lash Lure around for nothing.
01:07:21You watch the law.

01:07:39TV, she's coming.
01:07:52TV, she's coming.
01:08:22Jew's got it.
01:08:23We must keep the gear together.
01:08:25Fetch it, someone.
01:08:25Go on, Daphne.
01:08:47Hello?
01:08:48Who's that?
01:08:50I said who's that?
01:08:52Hiya, Bluewick.
01:08:53What's your, Captain Ricketts?
01:08:54Miss Bluewick, Captain Ricketts, what are you doing in my room?
01:08:57And who else is there?
01:08:58It's me, Mum.
01:08:59Eric, I'm sorry to bother you, Mum, but I've just bought your tickets for the water polo match, Mum.
01:09:05I'm here too, Dame Maud, Daphne.
01:09:07I've come to get the water polo ball.
01:09:10Well, get out of my room, all of you.
01:09:13It's all right, Dame Maud.
01:09:14I've got the ball.
01:09:15See you at the swimming pool.
01:09:16Ta-ta.
01:09:16Daphne, bring that ball back.
01:09:19Daphne, bring that ball back.
01:09:29Oh, yes?
01:09:32Well, this is Cynthia Meadows, Your Highness.
01:09:35I fixed it with His Highness.
01:09:36Did you get the flowers?
01:09:37We did, but did he have to come to the water polo?
01:09:39Couldn't hold him back.
01:09:40You're mine, girls.
01:09:41No rough stuff.
01:09:42Don't worry, Harry.
01:09:43We'll handle him.
01:09:44Bet your life we will.
01:09:45Yeah, well, see, it's with kid gloves.
01:09:47He wants a princess, not a chakra.
01:09:48Leave it to us.
01:09:49We didn't come all this way for nothing.
01:09:53I miss the old lift, you know.
01:09:55Life seems flat without it.
01:09:57Harry, can I have a word with you?
01:10:00What about?
01:10:01It was somewhere quiet.
01:10:02Here.
01:10:03You ain't going and fell up for some penniless drip, have you?
01:10:05Oh, no, it's nothing like that.
01:10:07But, well, now the prince is practically in the bag.
01:10:10Well, I don't suppose it's anything at all, really.
01:10:12But, you know, when we left home...
01:10:14Yeah.
01:10:14Well, I was phoning in the headmistress's study
01:10:16when Mr. Mangdon came in with a water polo ball.
01:10:23You dumb cluck.
01:10:24Why didn't you tell me about this before now?
01:10:26They're probably the sparklers there's a 10,000 reward for.
01:10:28What 10,000 reward?
01:10:30Nobody told me.
01:10:31Nobody told you.
01:10:32Listen, a few days after the Attengarden job,
01:10:35Joe Mangdon tries to hide in the school.
01:10:36It all ties up.
01:10:38Water polo ball, was it?
01:10:39Harry, where are you going?
01:10:42Seconde, pronto, up.
01:11:12I think it would be a nice gesture if we allowed them to use their book.
01:11:41Okay.
01:12:11Oh, my God!
01:12:41Would you kindly stop this game at once, please?
01:13:02You try.
01:13:11There's an Englishman who wants to see it. I don't understand what he says.
01:13:16Okay, I'll see it.
01:13:19Okay?
01:13:21Oh, Tom.
01:13:23Good evening. Don't worry, I've come prepared.
01:13:26Here we are, at the dentist.
01:13:28Can I have this out with you?
01:13:32Can I have this out with you?
01:13:33Yes, yes, no. Banking.
01:13:36Oh, what's the value? You see?
01:13:40I have some valuables, yes?
01:13:42Yeah, yeah. Now, for a and peso, the pain can burrow.
01:13:48I should like a piece of bread and butter?
01:13:51Bread and butter? No, I've got the wrong one.
01:13:54Here, you speak English?
01:13:56But fluently.
01:13:57Why do you say so?
01:13:59Here, look, there's a parcel of stolen sparklers in this ball with a reward of 10,000 quid on them.
01:14:03I don't know what that is in...
01:14:05Britain is real Missouma.
01:14:07I want you to bung them in your safe, put my name on it.
01:14:12I've been ahead.
01:14:15I've been sold apart.
01:14:19My magic.
01:14:28Yeah.
01:14:29Good-bye.
01:14:30You're looking ahead of me.
01:14:32You and his jakers, and those zombies?
01:14:33You are looking at poder.
01:14:35You're looking at horsepower that needs to be recovered.
01:14:37You're looking at speed.
01:14:38But the baby.
01:14:41No easy way.
01:14:45International goodwill, they said it was.
01:14:59It's just like Sir's End, isn't it?
01:15:12Come on, come on.
01:15:14Look, I'll tell you, it's packed with diamonds.
01:15:30What are we waiting for? After him, kids.
