Keeping Up Appearances1990

[first lines]

The Milkman:
Morning, Mrs Bucket.

Hyacinth:
It's Bouquet.

The Milkman:
I never knew that.

Hyacinth:
Trust me.

The Milkman:
To me, people are usually just a name on a note.

Hyacinth:
I will not have milkmen reducing me to a piece of paper. [she picks up and examines the milk bottle]

The Milkman:
Is there something wrong, Mrs Bu... Bouquet?

Hyacinth:
It seems all right, but in future I want you to be quite sure that I get my own bottles back. I know that *mine* have been properly washed, you see, and I can't be quite sure about other bottles, so please inform the people at the depot that I want my own bottles back.

The Milkman:
But all the bottles are sterilized, Mrs Bu... Bouquet. The milk's pasteurized.

Hyacinth:
It's a matter of complete indifference to me whether it's sterilized, pasteurized, immunized or privatized. [calls after him] Just inform your superiors that I want my own bottles back!
