Quotes:

[first lines]
Hyacinth: I wish you'd smile more when you're gardening, Richard.
[with a smile, she mimes trimming a branch]
Richard: If I do *that* they're going to lock me away.
Hyacinth: Try to look as though you're enjoying it, dear.
Richard: But I don't particularly enjoy it. It's just something that has to be done.
Hyacinth: Well, that's how it appears.
Richard: The garden looks well enough.
Hyacinth: Oh, it's not the garden dear; it's *you*. You look as though you're not enjoying doing it. Which gives the impression that we can't afford a gardener.
Richard: We can't afford a gardener.
