I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I'm afraid my, uh, my walk has become rather sillier recently, and so it takes me rather long. 1:22 Now then, uh, what was it again? 1:24 Well, sir, I- I have a- a silly walk, and I'd like to obtain a government grant to help me develop it. 1:30 I see. Uh, may I see your silly walk? 1:32 Yes, 1:55 that's it, yes. 1:56 Mm-hmm. It's not particularly silly, is it? 2:00 I, I mean, the right leg isn't silly at all, and the left leg merely does a forward aerial half turn every alternate step. 2:05 Yes, but I think with, with government backing, I could make it very silly. 2:09 Mr. Pudi, the very real problem is not of money.

I'm going to offer you a research fellowship on the Anglo-French city walk. 4:02 La marche futile?
