The League of Gentlemen1960
Mycroft:
[playing a Brigadier inspecting the training camp in response to some private who has 'complained to his MP' regarding the food] [enters Mess Hall] Carry on eating. Any complaints here?
Captain Saunders:
Come along now. Answer the Brigadier.
Other Private in Mess:
No, Sir.
Mycroft:
You're, um, quite satisfied with the food. You can speak quite freely.
Chunky Grogan:
Well, er, no, Sir. Not always, Sir. [CSM gives a menacing look]
Mycroft:
What exactly don't you like about it?
Chunky Grogan:
Well, er, they sometimes give you good grub, sir, but, er, they mess it about like.
Mycroft:
How do you mean, mess it about?
Chunky Grogan:
Well, take Sunday, Sir. I mean, er, we had a fair whack of the old roast and that and gravy and stuff, but they messed it about like. You know.
Mycroft:
Specifically?
Chunky Grogan:
Beg your pardon sir?
Mycroft:
What did they do to it?
Chunky Grogan:
Oh1 Oh, well, I'm not a cook am I? I only go by what I taste, like, and, er, it didn't taste right, see. It sort of tasted like they'd messed it about, like.
Mycroft:
What's this man's name?
Captain Saunders:
Mmm?
C.S.M.:
Grogan, Sir.
Mycroft:
That's all, is it?
Chunky Grogan:
Well, that was only last Sunday, sir.
Mycroft:
What about today's meal?
Chunky Grogan:
Oh, well, very fair, sir. You know, if you like eggs. I mean, they're not great favourites of mine, but, er, you've gotta eat them to keep your strength up, like.
Mycroft:
[sucks air through teeth] Yes. [walks off with entourage]
Other Private in Mess:
[other privates at table congratulate worthy Grogan, clapping him on the back] Well done, Rolly.
Chunky Grogan:
Well, bleedin' asked me, didn't he?
