Quotes
-
Mrs. Betty Slocombe : Oh, Miss Brahms, pull your skirt down.
Miss Shirley Brahms : Well, we're not open.
Mrs. Betty Slocombe : That may be, but now that we are sharing our department with Gents Outfitting, it might pay us to be a little more circumspect.
-
Mr. Dick Lucas : [trying to carry a mannequin] Give me a hand with this. Oh, come on. Which end do you want? Heads or tails?
Miss Shirley Brahms : Now, do be careful. Mrs Slocombe had to wait six weeks for it.
Mr. Dick Lucas : Oh, when you get to her age, what can you expect?

Mr. Ernest Grainger : [Mr. Lucas is carrying an almost naked mannequin with Miss Brahms] Mr. Lucas, put something on it. It is a house rule, you know.
Mr. Dick Lucas : Oh, well, I, I'm sorry Mr. Grainger. I thought it was alright if they was wearing tights.
Mr. Ernest Grainger : Yes, well, it's er... hardly sufficient, is it?
Mr. Dick Lucas : [laughs] I see what you mean.
Mr. Ernest Grainger : Anyway, the upper part should be obscured.
Mr. Dick Lucas : I'm sorry, Mr. Grainger.
[puts his hands over the mannequin's bare breasts]
Mr. Ernest Grainger : How long have you been with Grace Brothers, Mr. Lucas?
Mr. Dick Lucas : Ah, one month, Mr. Grainger.
[looks at his hands holding the mannequin's breasts]
Mr. Dick Lucas : I-I'm still sort of feeling my way around, as you might say.
Mr. Ernest Grainger : Yes.
[walks off]
Mr. Dick Lucas : Cop hold.
[takes his hands away from the mannequin's breasts]
Miss Shirley Brahms : What about obscuring it?
Mr. Dick Lucas : Alright then, lend us your knickers.
Miss Shirley Brahms : Now, don't you start. And anyway, they wouldn't obscure anything.

Miss Shirley Brahms : Are you free, Mr. Humphries?
Mr. Humphries : At the moment, yes.
