• [first lines] 

  Mulberry : Do you want a jelly baby?

  Miss Farnaby : No, thank you. I told you I don't like jelly babies. They are a confection without character. Just because they're anthropomorphic doesn't disguise the fact that they are merely flavourless blobs of gelatine. I'd go so far as to say-

  Mulberry : All right, all right, I only offered you a sweet. What have you got?

  Miss Farnaby : Acid drops.

  Mulberry : Very apt.

  Miss Farnaby : Mind your manners.

  Mulberry : Can I have one?

  Miss Farnaby : No.

• Miss Farnaby : Why the sudden preoccupation?

  Mulberry : Well, you know me. I get bees in my bonnet.

  Miss Farnaby : I don't like bees in bonnets; they sting you when you're not looking. Do not spring surprises on me in future.

  Mulberry : No, Miss Farnaby.

  Miss Farnaby : But of course, you will.

• [last lines] 

  Miss Farnaby : Albert!

  [beckons him over to the car] 

  Bert : Yes, Miss Farnaby?

  Miss Farnaby : [shows him the hyacinth]  You see what you can do when you try.

  Mulberry : You're a genius, Bert.
