Mrs Slocombe: I was talking to Mrs. Hopcurk up in Personnel, and she's a very close friend of the Peacock family... Well they share the same milkman. According to her, their marriage has been a bit like (shakes hand loosely). Like that.
Mr Humphries: Is it?
Miss Brahms: Rumour has it, they haven't been getting it together for some time.
Mr Humphries: Well, it can't be easy if it's (imitates Mrs Slocombe's gesture) like that.
Mrs Slocombe: Apparently the rot set in at the Christmas party.
Mr Humphries: (chuckles) It often does.
Mrs Slocombe: If you recall, Captain Peacock spilled blancmange all down Miss Pickthorn's cleavage.
Mr Humphries: I thought that was semolina pudding?
Mrs Slocombe: No. That was Mr Haraden and Miss Forceps. And that was the year before.
Mr Humphries: How time flies.
Mrs Slocombe: The question is: Who got it out?
Mr Humphries: (misunderstands) What party was this?
Mrs Slocombe: I don't mind saying this to you, Mr Humphries, but men can be beasts.
Mr Humphries: Why don't you mind saying this to me?
