The Good Life1975

Tom:
[calls through the letterbox] Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!

Margo:
Tom! [pauses] *What* is that?

Tom:
It's two dustbins on a trolley.

Margo:
I can see it's two dustbins on a trolley and when I asked you the question it was a rhetorical one which does not need a direct answer as you knew very well in the first place.

Tom:
Oh. You make me hold my breath when you do those long sentences, Margo.

Margo:
What *is* it?

Tom:
It's two rhetorical dustbins on a rhetorical trolley.

Margo:
Then will you kindly remove them from my crazy paving before someone sees us.

Tom:
They'd have less chance of seeing us if we hide behind the dustbins.
