Stormy Weather

Office Boy:
This is General Retailers, Cuttlebury. [pause] Eh? [pause] Eh? [pause] Mr Penny's office? Yes. [pause] Eh? [pause] Eh? [pause] Eh?

Mr. Penny:
Don't keep saying "A" like that. Use another letter occasionally.

Office Boy:
Oh.

Mr. Penny:
That's better. What do they want?

Office Boy:
You.

Mr. Penny:
I? Why?

Mr. Penny:
Don't argue with me. Attend to your job. What are you supposed to be doing?

Office Boy:
Sticking these bits of paper into this here book.

Mr. Penny:
Oh. What are they?

Office Boy:
I don't know. I thought you did.

Mr. Penny:
Don't be impertinent. Of course I do. [Addresses secretary] What are all these things he's got here, Miss Corker?

Secretary:
I suppose they're entries for the ledger.

Mr. Penny:
Don't be absurd. The Leger was run last month.

Sir Duncan Craggs:
I don't object to your keeping company with somebody decent.

Louise:
No, no, no. I want to keep company only with you.

Sir Duncan Craggs:
I didn't know you'd be free tonight. I'd have bet ten to one you had a date with some Willy.

Louise:
So! You will bet like this on my Willy, but if you find me with some poor Willy, you boot him!

Sir Duncan Craggs:
A woman like you shouldn't want Willys.

Louise:
No, but a man like you should want Trixies, is it?

Sir Duncan Craggs:
Certainly. The more he sees of them, the more he appreciates his wife.

Sir Duncan Craggs:
You've got to the stage where your friends ought to be your own age, sex, and size.

Sir Duncan Craggs:
I've always been a loving husband to you, Heaven knows.

Louise:
Oh, make no mistake, Heaven does not know much about you. The angels are not permitted to listen to that sort of thing.

Trixie Merritt:
You know, poor Father and Mother think I'm still a kid.

Sir Duncan Craggs:
I'm glad to hear that. I believe in children keeping their parents as innocent as possible.

Sir Duncan Craggs:
Do you know the disreputable kind of people who go there?

Mr. Penny:
Well, I've often been there.

Sir Duncan Craggs:
Have you? I've never seen you.

Sir Duncan Craggs:
You don't kidnap ladies in England. You don't have to.

Sir Duncan Craggs:
No man who's been married to you could ever possibly want another wife.
