Maurice: It’s hot, Merridew. Jack:
I’m choir prefect. What are you? I’m … I’m Ralph. I dunno.
Piggy: We should have a meetin’. Jack:
Ralph: Ask him. Piggy: Jack:
Should we? Who did you say he was?
All I said was – we should ’ave a meetin’. Who are you?

Jack: Well, we’ll start with your name shall we? Piggy:
All I’m saying is –
Ralph: He’s got quite a funny name in fact … Piggy:

Ralph: What? Piggy: You promised. Ralph: Promised what? Piggy: You know what. Ralph: I don’t know what you’re on about. His name’s Piggy, in fact. Jack, Piggy. Piggy: You promised! Ralph: Piggy! Jack: Oh! Brilliant! Piggy: You did! You promised! Ralph: Well, you were being stupid! Maurice: Why do we want a meeting? What do we want a meeting for?

First of all we have to decide who’s in charge. And I should be in charge because I’m a prefect. Are you a prefect in your school? I will be. Probably. Where are you?
Ralph: Upton. Jack:
I don’t know that. Is that a good school? It’s OK I suppose.
Piggy: I go to Barnabas High. Anyone know it? YOUNG AND OLD D 95
