      • Mr Humphries: (seeing Captain Peacock in a dark outfit) Oh! It's the Masked Starnger. Take my body but leave my jewels alone!

        Captain Peacock: Mr Humphries, it's me!

        Mr Humphries: (disappointed) In that case, I take back the offer.

      • Miss Brahms: Oh, do you know, I wish I'd put on thicker knickers this morning.

        Captain Peacock: You young girls today don't wear enough clothes.

        Miss Brahms: And how would you know?

      • Mrs Slocombe: You're lucky to have me at all, Captain Peacock. I had to thaw me pussy out before I came. It had been out all night.

      • Mr. Lucas: The shear excitement of an announcement by Mr. Rumbold is sending the blood pounding through my temples already. Mr. Humphries: That's not excitement, that's a hangover.
