The Water Babies1978

Mrs. Tripp:
[Upon answering the door, Mrs. Tripp looks at Tom, before turning her gaze to Mr. Grimes] [to Mr. Grimes] What a disgusting, filthy disgrace to humanity you are!

Mr. Grimes:
[looking puzzled and slurring] I'm Crimes.

Mrs. Tripp:
You're drunk, sir.

Mr. Grimes:
Nevertheless, I'm Crimes [cannot say Grimes as he is still drunk]

Masterman:
[giggles]

Mr. Grimes:
[looking at Masterman, then to Mrs. Tripp] Well, does tha want the chimneys swept or does tha not want the chimneys swept?

Mrs. Tripp:
Mmm... [nods head towards door] Come in. [Towards Tom, who had begun to pick up Toby] And you can leave that thing outside for a start.

Masterman:
[grabbing Tobys lead] Come here. Mr Grimes... [passing Mr. Grimes his sweeps] There's your bags.

Mrs. Tripp:
Now then. Listen to me, all of you. I've dust sheeted all the rooms where there's chimneys to be swept. You've brought plenty of soot bags, I see?

Mr. Grimes:
Yeah.

Mrs. Tripp:
Well use them! Because I warn you, one speck of soot in any of those rooms... and not a penny piece will you get from me.

Masterman:
[salutes to Mrs. Tripp] Yes, Ma'am.

Mrs. Tripp:
Well come on, get on with it then!
