Last of the Summer Wine1973

[first lines]

Ivy:
Let me have a look in the daylight. You can't tell by artificial light.

Alvin:
She'll go to any lengths, that woman, to attract my attention.

Nora Batty:
The number of times I sweep that yard, and still there are things I can never get rid of.

Ivy:
Ignore it. It might go away.

Nora Batty:
It keeps coming back!

Alvin:
I've seen her in some pretty funny hats, but that's pushing it even for her.

Ivy:
It's part of her costume, dimwit. She's in the float parade. She's playing the general's wife.

Alvin:
Oh, lucky him. Who's playing the general?

Nora Batty:
Nobody. He's a dummy.

Nora Batty:
Well, he'd have to be to be married to you.

Ivy:
It's a lifelike dummy of the hero of the battle of Mazurka. They use it every year. It's a piece of history. It's dressed in one of the general's original uniforms.

Alvin:
You're getting all dressed up to sit on a float next to a dummy!

Nora Batty:
I've had plenty of practice being next to dummies since you moved here.
