• Bridal Doll Customer : I'd like to buy a bridal doll for my little girl.

  Mrs. Slocombe : Certainly, madam. Brides, Miss Brahms. Will it be a registry office or a church wedding?

  Bridal Doll Customer : Church, I think.

  Mrs. Slocombe : Oh, you're so wise, madam. It's so much more romantic, isn't it? Now, this one retails for 20.50.

  Bridal Doll Customer : Oh, it's a lot, isn't it?

  Mrs. Slocombe : Ah, well, it comes complete with bridegroon, and the full trousseau. And if you pull this cord, it talks.

  Bridal Doll : [Cord is pulled from its back]  I love you. I love you. I do. I do.

  Mrs. Slocombe : Isn't that beautiful? Can't you just picture the scene? There she stands by the bridegroom. They're stood in front of the altar. The organ's playing, the ceremony's coming to a climax. She turns to him and utters those immortal words that he'll remember forever.

  Bridal Doll : [Cord is pulled from its back]  I want to go to the potty.

• Captain Peacock : In this area we have the mechanical cuddlies

  Mrs. Slocombe : But they're all dogs. Is there no demand for mechanical pussies?

  Captain Peacock : I am told that people prefer the real thing.

• Captain Peacock : We're all to be replaced on mass!

  Mrs. Slocombe : Well, the miserable old devil!

  Mr. Humphries : My horoscope said I was going to get a new position. But I interpreted it quite differently.
