Mr. Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries : [Mr. Grainger is snoring on his chair] Poor old soul, he's been on his feet all day. He probably goes to sleep about this time on the train.
Captain Stephen Peacock : Mr. Grainger?
Mr. Rumbold : Mr. Grainger?
Miss Brahms : Mr. Grainger?
Mrs. Slocombe : Miss Brahms! Mr. Grainger?
Miss Brahms : Baldy?
Mr. Rumbold : One hesitates to lay hands on him. Still...
Mr. Lucas : Oh no, no, no. I wouldn't if I were you, Mr, Rumbold. No, no. Just think. Sudden shock, heart attack, kicks the bucket. News Of The World: "Aged Worker Dies At Hands Of Overseer". That wouldn't look good for Grace Brothers.
Mr. Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries : Excuse me, Captain Peacock. I think I know what to do.

Mr. Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries : Are you free, Mr. Grainger?
Mr. Ernest Grainger : Yes, I'm free, Mr. Humphries.

Mr. Ernest Grainger : I walked through the park in order to give my toast crusts to the ducks. My wife doesn't like me to leave them, but these new teeth of mine... They're a little to much for them. You know, even the ducks have to wait until they go soggy.
Mr. Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries : They'll probably be all right, when you've run them in a bit.

Captain Stephen Peacock : Mr. Grainger, would you step this way please, if you're free.
Mr. Ernest Grainger : Yes, I'm... I'm free, Captain Peacock.
Captain Stephen Peacock : Mr. Humphries, Mr. Lucas?
Mr. Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries : Free, Captain Peacock.
Mr. Lucas : Oh, very free, Captain Peacock.
Captain Stephen Peacock : Step this way.
-
Mr. Ernest Grainger : I suppose I ought to phone Mrs. Grainger, and tell her to keep the pie warm in the oven.
Mr. Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries : Tell her to turn the regulo down to a quarter. If she hardens that crust, it'll play havoc with your gums.
-
Mr. Ernest Grainger : Take that silly grin off your face, Mr. Lucas. It's very bad for trade.
Mr. Lucas : You just can't win, can you?
Mr. Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries : Take no notice of him. He's jealous. If he tried it, they'd drop on the floor.

Captain Stephen Peacock : Mr. Grainger, are you free?
Mr. Ernest Grainger : Oh, yes, yes, I'm free...

Mr. Ernest Grainger : Mr. Humphries, are you free?
Mr. Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries : Yes, I'm free, Mr. Grainger.
