Before we start the official business, I Think it would be a good idea if I check that everyone who's meant to be present is in fact here call the role you win.
Yes, that's right. Captain mannering, if you could uh just uh, answer your names. I think that would be the quickest way.
Yes, I quite agree good idea, so glad you approved right. Captain mannering yeah. Are you here, Of course, i'm here just been talking to him.

Captain george mannering, hey just a minute just a minute.
Why do we have to have him as chairman? Russians, don't want officers and bank managers and all that snobbish rubbish. Well from the inquiries that I had made round the town, it seemed to me that captain mannering was the best choice. Well, I don't agree.
I think we ought to have an Ordinary bloke, a green grocer, or somebody like that. Do we uh do we know a green greaser? Yes me, if there's any dissent, i'll gladly stand down yeah, it's a good idea, i'll. Second, that i'll tell you what captain memory! The simplest thing is for you to vacate the chair, then i'll.
Take the chair and we'll take a vote. Yes, yes, stand by for a quick game of musical chairs. Now, then, all in favor of captain mannering taking the chair raise their hands one two three four! Well, that seems to settle that it's hardly worth counting those against.
Oh, yes, it is oh, very well against one carried by four to one captain mannering will take the chair, which I shall now Vacate. Is it all over? No, of course it isn't. [, Music, ] town clark and I are just changing our positions: not really you've got cramp or something look absurd.
Why are you late? Oh i'm, sorry! It's over there. I thought you said the medium is at half past. I said quarter past you don't listen! There's a seat here, mr wilson.
Oh thank you! Thank you! Yeah! We Just had the best bit audrey's trying to give manna in the elbow sorry. I missed that mr town clark, ladies and gentlemen, there aren't any ladies here: don't you notice order, please? Oh tar i'll have a large scotch we're settled here to honor the russian worker vladislav. The point is he's a hero of the soviet union.
