Jeeves and Wooster, Season 4

[at the Mottled Oyster]

Florence Craye:
This is wonderful! What horrible people! Are all nightclubs like this?

Bertie Wooster:
Ah, well, this is about average for the unlicensed places.

Florence Craye:
Unlicensed?

Bertie Wooster:
You said you wanted somewhere low and garish.

Florence Craye:
Oh no, I'm not complaining. This is just the sort of place I pictured Rollo coming to that night!

Bertie Wooster:
Rollo?

Florence Craye:
The hero of my novel. Rollo Beeminster. He's in a wild mood, reckless, desperate. He's lost the girl he loves, and he comes to this low nightclub trying to forget, but it's useless. He looks around him at the glitter and garishness and feels how hollow it all is.

Bertie Wooster:
Yes. [clears throat] I saw Stilton at the Drones tonight.

Florence Craye:
Oh, yes?

Bertie Wooster:
Yes, he was in a wild mood. He looked about him at the Drones' smoking room and I could see he was feeling what a hollow... smoking room it was.
