Fawlty Towers1975

[Basil has accidentally set off the burglar alarm during the fire drill, guests start walking out of the building thinking it's the fire alarm, but Basil stops them all in the lobby]

Mrs. Wilson:
Oh, I thought there was a drill.

Basil Fawlty:
Yes, there is, at twelve o'clock, but not yet.

Mrs. Wilson:
But, it IS twelve o'clock.

Basil Fawlty:
Well not quite, thank you.

Basil Fawlty:
[to other guests trying to leave] Excuse me!

Mrs. Sharp:
Yes.

Mrs. Wilson:
Well, I make it twelve o'clock.

Basil Fawlty:
[to guests] I'm afraid that wasn't the...

Mrs. Wilson:
What time do you make it, Major?

Basil Fawlty:
[annoyed] Look...

Major Gowen:
Burglars about, I think.

Basil Fawlty:
Look, it doesn't matter what time he makes it, it hasn't started yet.

Mrs. Sharp:
What?

Basil Fawlty:
It hasn't started yet!

Mrs. Sharp:
But, that was the bell, wasn't it?

Basil Fawlty:
No!

Mrs. Wilson:
He means "the drill" hasn't started yet.

Mr. Sharp:
What drill? We didn't hear a drill.

Basil Fawlty:
[trying to explain] No, no-no-no, look, look - that was the burglar alarm.

Major Gowen:
See!

Mrs. Wilson:
The burglar alarm?

Basil Fawlty:
Yes!

Mrs. Wilson:
Are there burglars?

Major Gowen:
Evidently!
