Neighbours1985

Madge Bishop:
[Madge has had enough of Harold's snoring] Ah. Well, I just think I might have some good news for you. I was having a little chat with Beverly about your... your affliction, and she...

Harold Bishop:
[gasps] You *what*? Well, that is lovely to know there are still some secrets left in a man's marriage.

Madge Bishop:
Harold, let me finish. She says...

Harold Bishop:
[angrily] Oh yes, go on, then, tell me: what is it *this* time, eh? Ice cubes in the socks? Red peppers on the end of the tongue? Enough is enough, Madge!

Madge Bishop:
Harold...

Harold Bishop:
No. No. I have put up with the sn*ggering derision... I've put up with the low- key humour, the accusatory comments - but I have *had* it!

[waves finger animatedly]

Madge Bishop:
Put that finger away!

Harold Bishop:
What's next on the agenda for the neighbourhood chit- chat, eh? Ingrowing toenails? Warts? A man's home is supposed to be his *castle*!

Madge Bishop:
[tersely] All right, Harold, all right - if that's the way you want it, that's the way you're going to get it - because I am pulling up the drawbridge. I am fed up with being sympathetic to your sensitivities and your snoring. I need a good night's sleep and tonight I'm going to *get* it. You'll find your things in Henry's room and you can damn well stay there until you're prepared to do something about your snoring!
