• Superintendent Gaskell : Look. This is the last time. I'm warning you, I'm not Sir Philip-bleeding-Sidney. I am Superintendent Harold Gaskell and this is a raid.

  Second Assistant : [to a customer, ignoring Gaskell]  That'll be 540 quid, sir.

  Man with Pile of Books : Oh, I'll just have this one then.

  Superintendent Gaskell : Maddox!

  [Turns to all in shop] 

  Superintendent Gaskell : Look, this is a raid... Honestly!

• Dr. E. Henry Thripshaw : I see, but recently you have been having this problem with your word order?

  Mr. Burrows : Absolutely. What makes it worse is that sometimes at the end of a sentence, I'll come out with the wrong fuse box.

  Dr. E. Henry Thripshaw : Fuse box?

  Mr. Burrows : And the thing about saying the wrong word is that, 'A' I don't notice it, and 'B' sometimes orange water given a bucket of plaster.

  Dr. E. Henry Thripshaw : Yes, tell me more about your problem.

  Mr. Burrows : Well as I say well just be talking and out with the wrong word, and ash tray's your uncle. I won't be strawberry about it.

  Dr. E. Henry Thripshaw : Enough said.

  Mr. Burrows : It's so embarrassing when my wife and I go to an orgy.

  Dr. E. Henry Thripshaw : A party?

  Mr. Burrows : No, an orgy. We live in East Shire.

  Dr. E. Henry Thripshaw : Of course.
