• [the staff have come in late for an early meeting] 

  Mr. Cuthbert Rumbold : I demand an explanation!

  Captain Stephen Peacock : As to why I have 2 inches of snow on my hat?

  Miss Shirley Brahms : We've been stood outside in the snow for 20 minutes because some stupid *twit* didn't tell security we was coming in!

  Mr. Cuthbert Rumbold : [realizing he's at fault]  Ah!

• Captain Peacock : [ordering Mr. Humphries and Mr. Lucas to get dressed and pretend to be customers]  Oh, and you don't have to use your own clothes, you can pick up something from the stockroom.

  [pause] 

  Captain Peacock : The gents' stockroom, Mr. Humphries.

  [walks across to the women's counter] 

  Captain Peacock : Is Miss Brahms ready yet?

  Mrs. Slocombe : I'll just call her.

  [Turns towards the fitting rooms] 

  Mrs. Slocombe : Miss Brahms?

  [Miss Brahms enters in a low-cut and short-skirted dress, while Mr Humphries and Mr Lucas give a vocal rendition of "The Stripper"] 

  Captain Peacock : Miss Brahms, you're supposed to be buying, not selling!

• Captain Stephen Peacock : [Watching Mr Humphries enter dressed as a motorcyclist]  The face eludes me, but I recognise the walk

  [Lifts the tinted visor on the helmet] 

  Mr. Humphries : I'm glad you did that - I was starting to run out of oxygen!
