Quotes 

• [summarizing the exchange between Captain Peacock and Mrs. Slocombe] 

  Mr. Rumbold : Now, let's start again. You put your finger up Mrs. Slocombe's nose, causing her to snort in a sort of "pp-ppbt" fashion.

  [Captain Peacock rolls his eyes] 

  Mr. Rumbold : Then, logically, she would put up two fingers to protect her nose from your probing digit!

  [Mrs. Slocombe stares blankly] 

  Mr. Rumbold : This, in turn, Mr. Humphries misinterpreted as a request for him to save her two seats in the canteen.

  [Mr. Humphries frowns in distress] 

  Mr. Rumbold : Have you anything else written down in your book that you would like me to clarify?

  Captain Stephen Peacock : "Not on your nellie."

  Mr. Rumbold : Oh well. If that's it, there's no more to be said. Rather a waste of time, really.

  Captain Stephen Peacock : Yes indeed, sir.
