The Horse's Mouth1958

Constable:
Mr. Jimson?

Gulley Jimson:
No. That's my first cousin, once removed, an artist who's always getting into trouble with the police. He just went up the road. Shall I call him back?

Constable:
Have you just sent a telephone message of a threatening character to Mr. Hickson of Portland Place?

Gulley Jimson:
I only said I'd burn his house down and cut his liver out.

Constable:
Now he doesn't want to prosecute, but if you go on making a nuissance of yourself, well, he's gonna have to take steps.

Gulley Jimson:
Would he rather I cut his liver out without phoning?

Constable:
Now, come now, Mr. Jimson. Put yourself in his place.

Gulley Jimson:
I wish I could. It's a very nice place.
