Arthur Brough: Mr. Grainger

Quotes 

• [a take is ruined by Mr. Grainger's loud cocktail shaker] 

  Mr. Humphries : Mr. Grainger? Mr. Grainger!

  Mr. Grainger : [still shaking]  I can't hear you, you'll have to wait until I've finished making the cocktail.

  Mr. Humphries : [walks over and rips the shaker from Mr. Grainger's hands]  What are you doing?

  Mr. Grainger : I'm making his usual, a sidecar.

  Mr. Humphries : Just forget about the cocktail. Give him a whiskey and soda.

  Mr. Grainger : Well, it's not his usual.

  Mr. Humphries : His usual is what I say it is!

• [a dummy of Mrs. Slocombe is wheeled onto the floor] 

  Mr. Grainger : Your hair looks very nice today, Mrs. Slocombe.

  [the dummy remains silent] 

  Mr. Grainger : All right, ignore me, you bad-tempered old cow.
