[Captain Peacock beckons Mrs. Slocombe with a wave]
Mrs. Betty Slocombe : I do not respond to waves.
Miss Shirley Brahms : What about that man you met on your holiday?
Mrs. Betty Slocombe : Oh, that was different; he was waving from his yacht!
Captain Stephen Peacock : [Comes over] Didn't you see me signal to summon you?
Mrs. Betty Slocombe : Oh, is that what it was? We thought you had a fly buzzing round your hooter!
-
Mr. Dick Lucas : You nearly got me the sack then.
Mrs. Betty Slocombe : You should have been put in one at birth.
-
Mrs. Betty Slocombe : Men! I never want to work with men again!
Miss Shirley Brahms : I thought it was very mean of Mr. Grainger not to lend you his pencil when you lost yours.
Mrs. Betty Slocombe : It was typical!
Miss Shirley Brahms : But never mind, I've got our own back. You know how he always licks the end of his pencil before he makes out a bill? Well, I substituted it with one from the joke department, so when he licks the end this time it'll go all fizzy.
Mrs. Betty Slocombe : Oh Miss Brahms! That was VERY naughty!
[Suddenly dissolves into evil snickers]
Mrs. Betty Slocombe : I can't wait to see his face when he licks it! That's if he can see which end to lick!
Miss Shirley Brahms : Yeah...
Mrs. Betty Slocombe : Well, that's why they're not here. Can't find his glasses.
Miss Shirley Brahms : How do you know?
Mrs. Betty Slocombe : They're in my handbag!

Mr. Ernest Grainger : That is my personal drawer and everything in it is absolutely vital.
Mrs. Betty Slocombe : What's vital about a truss and an old ration book?
Miss Shirley Brahms : Oh, let's have a look, I've never seen one!
Mr. Ernest Grainger : Leave my truss alone!
Miss Shirley Brahms : I meant the ration book!
