Dad's Army, Series Three

Having cleaned and returned a Lewis gun

Frazer:
Thank goodness! I won't have to clean that thing for three weeks.

Mainwaring:
That is not the right attitude to adopt, Frazer. You should consider it an honour and a privilege to use this Lewis gun.

Frazer:
If it was a privilege, none of us would ever be getting a look in; you and the Sergeant would be doing it all the time.

Mainwaring:
That'll do. That'll do. The butterfly spring seems to be missing from here Frazer.

Frazer:
What? Oh aye. So it is. I must have left it in me workshop.

Mainwaring:
Your workshop?

Frazer:
Aye. I took the gun home to be cleaned.

Mainwaring:
Look. For a start you've got no right to take that gun off these premises. Most of all that gun is totally useless without its butterfly spring. If a Nazi Storm Trooper came rushing in through that door you could do nothing with that, but hit him with it.

Jones:
Permission to speak sir. If Frazer were to hit him with it, it wouldn't half make his eyes water.
