Bertie: Brinkley, there's a curious smell.
Brinkley: Smell? Ah, that's your meat pie!
Bertie: Ah... uh, Brinkley, look: there's been a slight change of plan. I've just remembered that my uncle's not very well.
Brinkley: What uncle?
Bertie: Um...Reginald, if you must know. So, uh, I think I'll just, uh-
Brinkley: What about your pie?
Bertie: Haven't got time for that. Help yourself.
Brinkley: I'm not eating that. (edit)
Chuffy: I've nearly finished the letter. I've start more or less to what you've suggested.
Jeeves: "More or less," sir?
Chuffy: Well, some of it was, I don't know... a bit too soppy.
Jeeves: You'll pardon me for saying so, sir, but soppiness is at the very heart of a successful love letter. Without a sufficient degree of soppiness, there is a danger of the communication being laid aside by the recipient to be read at some future date together with the gas bill, sir. (edit)
Jeeves: His exact words were, "She's not to go getting kissed by that imbecile friend of hers again."
Wooster: Meaning me.
Jeeves: Seems likely, sir.
Wooster: He said all this to Chuffie, you say?
Jeeves: Yes, sir.
Wooster: About this imbecile friend kissing this Stoker.
Jeeves: Yes, sir. Lord Chufnel appeared somewhat put-out by the information.
Wooster: What did he say?
Jeeves: He mentioned something about scooping out your insides. (edit)
Seabury: My uncle says you're to come to lunch.
Wooster: Who's your uncle?
Seabury: Uncle Chuffy.
Wooster: Oh, Chuffy! Well, well. Uh, shall we be lunching alone?
Seabury: No. His mother, me, and some American people.
Wooster: Oh. I guess I had better go put on a suit.
Seabury: No.
Wooster: What, you think I look all right?
Seabury: No, I think you look rotten. But there isn't time. (edit)
Wooster: Well, anyway, we shall be going out to Devon for a couple weeks this afternoon, Brinkley. I hope that meets your approval.
Brinkley: I don't have any say, do I?
Wooster: Yes, yes, yes... I see what you mean. (edit)
