Coronation Street1960

Rita Littlewood:
[about Norris's secret book] The hero of his novel has got himself caught up in a menage-a-trois!

Emily Nugent:
Oh, really!

Rita Littlewood:
Emily, you do know what a menage-a-trois is?

Emily Nugent:
I most certainly do!

Rita Littlewood:
Oh. Well, the two women involved in this...

Emily Nugent:
Love triangle?

Rita Littlewood:
Yes. Are a mild-mannered church-goer called Emilia...

Emily Nugent:
[subtly shocked] Oh.

Rita Littlewood:
...and a racy, Titian temptress called Reeba.

Emily Nugent:
[suspicious] Oh.

Rita Littlewood:
[reading from the novel] "Norris jumped out of the moped as Emilia and Reeba alighted the side-car... "

Emily Nugent:
That's a big side-car!

Rita Littlewood:
"... and hand in hand, the three of them ran barefoot through Chester Zoo. Atop the souvenir kiosk, Reeba belts out a quick rendition of "Paper Moon", whilst Emilia chose this moment - for some solemn prayer."

Emily Nugent:
It's not really a page-turner, is it?

Rita Littlewood:
You wait till you hear what happens in the meercat enclosure!

Emily Nugent:
I like meercats... I've a tea towel with some on - Norris knows that!
