Last of the Summer Wine1973
[first lines]
Nora Batty:
What are you doing wearing that thing?
Alvin:
[removes gas mask] I'm trying to breathe is what I'm doing. What are you doing with that brush? Every morning you come out here, you move that dust to there and that dust to there. Why don't you just whistle? It must know where to go by now.
Nora Batty:
All swept up. Places need sweeping up.
Alvin:
Right. Well, tell me this then: what are you going to do with it when it's swept?
Nora Batty:
Do with it? Why? What should I do with it?
Alvin:
Well, why are you sweeping it if you don't know what you're going to do with it?
Nora Batty:
What can I do with it?
Alvin:
Enjoy it. You swept it clean; have you ever thought of enjoying it?
Nora Batty:
I enjoy it being clean.
Alvin:
Have you ever thought of quality leisure time? A little table outside, a few chairs, a glass of vino.
Nora Batty:
Men! Life's not for vino; life's for sweeping.
