The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin1976
[a board meeting is taking place at Grot Headquarters]
Tom Patterson:
I have distributed among you a few campaign ideas - I'm not really a campaign person - and slogans. I won't bore you with my slogan ideas now.
Reginald Perrin:
No, no, Tom, I insist that you bore us with them now.
Tom Patterson:
Oh. Well, there was one - I'm not really a slogan person - it went: "Go to Grot shops and get an eyeful, of Perrin's Products with a wide range of goods that are really pretty awful".
Reginald Perrin:
Excellent, Tom! Perfect!
Tom Patterson:
It doesn't rhyme or scan properly.
Reginald Perrin:
It almost rhymes and scans properly, that's the important thing. This is exactly what I'm paying you for.
Tom Patterson:
Thank you. Well, I'll just give you one more, perhaps: "Grot is the ideal place for gifts, because they're all on one floor, so there aren't any lifts." They aren't all of that standard, of course.
