Ivor Danvers: Richard's Boss

Quotes 

• Richard's Boss : Well, there's no point dragging out these farewell scenes. Always best to get them over as quickly as possible, I always say.

  [Gets up and shakes Richard's hand, leading him to the door at the same time] 

  Richard's Boss : Well, goodbye, Richard, old boy. Think of us, when you're out there enjoying your freedom. Goodbye!

  [Goes back to his desk] 

  Richard's Boss : Now, where was I?

  Richard : [comes back in]  I could come in the odd afternoon.

  Richard's Boss : No, no. No, no, no. Make a clean break. Best way, I always think.

  Richard : Unless, of course, mornings would be better.

  Richard's Boss : Inside a week, you'll have forgotten all about us. Cheerio!

  Richard : I'll do anything. You won't have to keep me at my old grade!

  Richard's Boss : No. Look, I'm sorry, Richard.

  Richard : I mean, I don't think I'd be too proud to pop in for a potter, if you ever need a good potter...

  Richard's Boss : Yes, thank you, Richard!

  Richard : Mornings or afternoons. Mornings AND afternoons!

  Richard's Boss : Good-BYE, Richard!
