• Bert : Now this im-posin' edifice what first meets the eye is the 'ome of Admiral Boom, late of His Majesty's Navy. Likes his house ship-shape, he does. Shipe-shape and Bristol fashion at all times!

  [the Admiral blows his whistle] 

  Admiral Boom : Time gun ready?

  Mr. Binnacle : Ready and charged, sir.

  Admiral Boom : Three minutes and six seconds.

  Mr. Binnacle : Aye, aye, sir.

  Bert : What he's famous for is punctuality. The whole world takes its time from Greenwich, but Greenwich, they say, takes its time from Admiral Boom.

  [to Admiral Boom] 

  Bert : Wotcher, Admiral!

  Admiral Boom : Good afternoon to you, young man. Where are you bound?

  Bert : Number 17. Got some parties 'ere in town what wants to see it.

  Admiral Boom : [to Binnacle]  Enter that in the log.

  Mr. Binnacle : Aye, aye, sir.

  Admiral Boom : A word of advice, young man: storm signals are up at number 17. Bit of heavy weather brewing there.

  Bert : Thanks, sir. Keep an eye skinned.

  [continues walking] 

  Bert : Here we are, 17 Cherry Tree Lane, home of George Banks Esquire.

  [screaming and shouting is heard from the house] 

  Bert : 'Ello, 'ello, 'ello! Admiral's right: heavy weather brewin' at number 17 and no mistake.

• Admiral Boom : Glorious day, Mr. Binnacle, Glorious! No one sleeps this morning! Put in a double charge of powder!

  Mr. Binnacle : A DOUBLE charge? Aye, Aye, Sir!

  Admiral Boom : Shake things up a bit, what?
