[Young Mr. Grace arrives in the left lift]
It's young Mr. Grace.
Is that Young Mr. Grace?
Old Mr. Grace doesn't get about much.
Good evening, Mr. Grace.
I hope I'm not too late.
No you're not too late, Mr. Grace.
Nah, there's still plenty of cabinet pudding left, Mr. Grace.
I suppose he's come to hand over the clock.
Yes, just in time. (Goes over to Mr. Humphries and Mr. Lucas) Ahem...
(Stands up) Ahem...
[Mr. Lucas stands up while Mr. Rumbold and Mr. Humphries sit down. Mr. Lucas goes to the counter, picks up something and sits on it]
Shall I continue, Mr. Grace.
Oh, please do, Mr. Rumbold.
Well, I was about to remark how very much we appreciate the long years of devoted service, the great consideration that you've always shown for all those with whom you have worked.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We... We feel... We definitely feel that after all these long years, you have truly earned a rest. And therefore all that remains... (Picks up the cuckoo clock) ...is for this to be presented. (Gives the clock to Young Mr. Grace) Here you are, sir.
Oh, thank you. This is a surprise. How very nice of you all. I've given a lot of these away, but I've never got one. Well my doctor says I shouldn't be out, so I'm now going. (to Mr. Grainger) Another five years, and you'll be getting one of those, Ernest. (to the rest of the staff) Well, goodbye, all.
Goodbye, Mr. Grace.
You've all done very well.
Thank you, Mr. Grace.
[As Young Mr. Grace leaves, the staff sit back down at the table]
Well, Ernest, it looks as if you're staying on.
Yes, it does. Of course, I'm very happy about it, but I - I should have liked a bit more leisure. (Turns to Mr. Rumbold) Could I have Monday off?
Certainly not.
Well if he's not leaving, he won't be needing his presents, will he? (Takes a present away)
[Mr. Mash arrives with a big cake]
For...
(sing together) He's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow... and so say all of us!
