There it is! The original blunt instrument; the poker. Right! Andrew Wyke:
Now steady... Milo Tindle:
Where do you want it? Andrew Wyke:
Don't get carried away. It's not a murder weapon you're talking about you know! Milo Tindle:
No? Andrew Wyke:
No. We're discussing an object from which I receive in the classic formula a glancing blow which will raise a lump without actually cracking the cranium. Milo Tindle:
Why don't I just keep tapping you lightly on the head with the poker until a lump comes up?

There it is !
The original blunt instrument.
00:00:07.504 --> 00:00:11.508
- The poker. Right. Now,
where do you want it ?
- Now, steady.
00:00:11.508 --> 00:00:15.012
Don't get carried away. It's not a murder
weapon we're talking about, you know.
00:00:15.012 --> 00:00:17.999
- No ?
- No ! We're discussing an object...
00:00:17.999 --> 00:00:20.999
from which I receive in the classic
formula a glancing blow...
00:00:20.517 --> 00:00:23.002
which will raise a lump without
actually cracking the cranium !
00:00:23.002 --> 00:00:27.524
Why don't I just keep tapping
you lightly on the head with the
poker until the lump comes up.
00:00:27.524 --> 00:00:30.001
Quite frankly, I've rather gone off
the whole thing now. I know !
00:00:30.527 --> 00:00:34.999
You can always tie me up and gag me and
leave me to be found by the cleaning woman.
00:00:34.999 --> 00:00:37.999
"Lords a' mercy, Mr. Wyke !
Whatever do we be doin' there ?
00:00:37.999 --> 00:00:40.999
All trussed up like a turkey !
Mm-mm-mm."
00:00:43.054 --> 00:00:48.545
"Oh, God bless ya, sir. You're
tryin' out somethin' for one
of them creepy books of yours."
00:00:48.545 --> 00:00:52.999
"I know ! Don't you mind me.
I won't disturb ye.
00:00:52.999 --> 00:00:55.052
I'll just be gettin' on with me dustin'."
- Andrew,
00:00:55.052 --> 00:00:58.055
If I don't knock you out,
00:00:58.055 --> 00:01:01.558
- How have I tied you up ?
- That's a very good question.
00:01:01.558 --> 00:01:04.007
Come to think of it, you could
always hold a gun on me.
00:01:04.007 --> 00:01:09.566
But we professional burglars don't fancy
firearms much. We are English, after all.
00:01:09.566 --> 00:01:12.569
You could always conquer
your anglo-saxon scruples.
00:01:12.569 --> 00:01:17.574
Besides, it would be my own revolver that
you'd taken from me during the struggle.
00:01:17.574 --> 00:01:21.003
- Is that loaded ?
- Well, of course. What'd be
the use of it otherwise ?
00:01:21.003 --> 00:01:24.581
And I think it ought to go off
once or twice as we tussle,
