Fawlty Towers1975

Mrs. Richards:
Now, listen to me. I'm not satisfied, but I've decided to stay here; however, I shall expect a reduction.

Basil Fawlty:
Why? Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?

Mrs. Richards:
No, because the room is cold, the bath is too small, the view is invisible, and the radio doesn't work.

Basil Fawlty:
No, the radio works. You don't.

Mrs. Richards:
What?

Basil Fawlty:
[crossing over to it] I'll see if I can't fix it, you scabby old bat!

[He turns it on, loudly; it works fine; Manuel plugs his ears]

Basil Fawlty:
I think we got something then!

Mrs. Richards:
What?

Basil Fawlty:
[loudly] I think we got something then!

Mrs. Richards:
[looking at Manuel with his fingers in his ears] What ARE you doing?

Manuel:
Que?

Basil Fawlty:
[after smacking Manuel's head] Madam, don't think me rude, but, may I ask, do you by any chance have a hearing aid?

Mrs. Richards:
A what?

Basil Fawlty:
A HEARING AID!

Mrs. Richards:
Yes, I do have a hearing aid.

Basil Fawlty:
Would you like me to get it mended?

Mrs. Richards:
Mended? It's working perfectly all right.

Basil Fawlty:
No, it isn't.

Mrs. Richards:
I haven't got it turned on at the moment.

Basil Fawlty:
Why not?

Mrs. Richards:
The battery runs down.
