[first lines]

[Richard grunts as he loads a crate into the car boot]

Hyacinth:
Do be careful of my crystal glassware, Richard.

Richard:
I don't know why we're taking all this stuff; the place is fully equipped.

Hyacinth:
You know I can't entertain without my crystal glassware.

Richard:
They've probably got crystal glassware.

Hyacinth:
At *Bruce's* cottage? You know Bruce thinks the height of taste is glassware engraved with naked ladies.

Richard:
I'd sooner be struggling with a naked lady than this crate.

Hyacinth:
[Hyacinth is checking her list] Oh. [she goes into the house]

Richard:
She rarely listens to anything I say. I've learned to appreciate *that* over the years.
