Hey, wait for me.
Quick... the bus'll be leaving!
Come on, out of there.
You'll be late
Dad, it's new
There it is!
And yesterday I was...
Hey, look!
Let's have a look.
What's the matter with him?
What's up? Can't you get out?
Come on, push harder.
It must open
A bit more.
I'll try too.
Come on, both together
It's not this way.
Maybe we should push
No. We must pull.
Are you sure?
Of course! We must pull.
Well, it's late. Let's go.
Wait. Let's try again.
Once again. One, two, three... Now!
It's no use. It won't open.
We've got to get to work anyway.
Listen! We've got to get to work.
We've done all we could. OK?
Good luck
Hey, monkey!
Want some peanuts?
What can that man be doing in there?
Come on kids, out of here
What's the matter?
Can't get out? Don't worry,
I'll fix it!
He looks strong, but
you wouldn't know it
Take a deep breath!
Do you mind! I can't see.
Well go on. You try then!
Goodbye Tarzan!
Just wait a minute
Go on. See if you'll be the one
to get the poor man out.
Just keep calm
It's not force that counts
in this, it's skill!
Patience mate. Everything
takes time. It's technique.
Please sit down, Madam
What's all this?
He's shut in
Don't be absurd, he can't be!
I'm just trying to open the door.
Come on, out of there. Move!
You! Out of there.
Did you hear what I said? Out!
Out, or we'll come and get you out.
It's true, it's stuck.
Don't be stupid
Out of here, all of you.
Off you go!
Phone for help
Try again
Lottery tickets. Try your luck.
Let me see.
Is it someone we know?
How embarrassing
Poor thing
What's the problem?
This man's locked in!
How stupid!
We need to open it but
the handle came off!
So we've locked ourselves in
have we? What a thing to do.
Bring the tools.
Not that, stupid!
Yes, the ladder. That's it
Goodbye! Good luck!
Don't worry.
They'll get you out.
Goodbye. Good luck.
Hey, give us a ring!
Hey, come and look at this.
