- Captain Stephen Peacock: I'm sorry, sir, the store is closed.
- Mr. Tomiades: Yes, yes, I know this. I am Mr. Tomiades. I am looking for the Captain Peacock.
- Captain Stephen Peacock: I am Captain Peacock.
- Mr. Tomiades: I don't know how I am telling you this. It is Mr. Mataxis. He is in this... aeroplane.
- Mr. Humphries: Well, what's he doing in an aeroplane? He's only coming from Wimbledon.
- Miss Shirley Brahms: He hasn't had an accident, has he?
- Mr. Tomiades: No, no. Poor Mr. Mataxis... he is my friend. He so wanted that he should marry the beautiful Mrs. Slocombe.
- Captain Stephen Peacock: Well, in about half an hour, he will.
- Mr. Tomiades: No. No, we Greeks, we are the funny people. You know, we are very close together. There is this member of his family who hear he is to be married and say, no, no, no, no, no, he must go home. So he go home.
- Captain Stephen Peacock: Well, who is this member of his family?
- Mr. Tomiades: His wife.
- [in tears after Mrs Slocombe is stood up at her wedding]
- Mr. Humphries: I'd marry her myself, but she's in enough trouble!
- Captain Stephen Peacock: Mrs. Slocombe is going to get married!
- Mr. Percival Tebbs: Has she been advertising again?
- Miss Shirley Brahms: He got her with his bazooka.
- Mr. Dick Lucas: Well, she's a big enough target.
- Mrs. Betty Slocombe: [irritated] BouzouKI, Miss Brahms.
- Miss Shirley Brahms: Ooh yeah, he's a Greek banjo player!
- Mr. Percival Tebbs: Mrs. Slocombe, I've always had a great affection for you. Does this mean that we're going to lose you?
- Mrs. Betty Slocombe: Oh no, I've no plans to leave!
- Mr. Percival Tebbs: Oh... dammit.
