As Time Goes By1992

[last lines]

Jean:
Try saying: "No thank you, we don't want to."

Lionel:
No thank you, we don't want to.

Jean:
That sounds very surly.

Lionel:
Well, you try it then.

Jean:
All right. No thank you, we don't want to.

Lionel:
Huh, sounds rather whiny.

Jean:
Oh, does it? Well, somewhere in the middle then.

[the telephone starts ringing]

Jean:
Augh.

Lionel:
That'll be one of them; I know it will.

Jean:
[yells at phone] Leave us alone.

Lionel:
Well, I'm not having it. We're having supper in front of the fire, and that's it.

Jean:
No, let me try it; I might be better at trying somewhere in the middle.

Lionel:
But honest.

Jean:
Honest of course. [picks up phone] Hello. Oh, Alan.

Lionel:
Ah-ha, my God.

Jean:
Supper tonight? Oh, thank you, Alan.

Lionel:
What!

Jean:
No, we can't. [to Lionel] Why, why? [Lionel shrugs] Ah, well, it... oh well, would you believe it, Lionel has just come down with measles. Really, yes, sorry, no, good-bye.
