Big Al : The town planners have moved in like a wolf on the fold.
Trevor Chaplin : I believe they tend to do that.
Big Al : If we don't get all that gear out of the church basement by the weekend, we're all pencilled-in for deportation, solitary confinement, loss of privileges, discharge with ignominy, boiling in oil... or a small fine.
