Monty Python's Flying Circus, Series 3

Mrs Conclusion:
Hello, Mrs Premise.

Mrs Premise:
Hello, Mrs Conclusion.

Mrs Conclusion:
Busy day?

Mrs Premise:
Busy! I've just spent four hours burying the cat.

Mrs Conclusion:
Four hours to bury a cat?

Mrs Premise:
Yes, it wouldn't keep still. Wriggling about, howling its head off.

Mrs Conclusion:
Oh - it wasn't dead then?

Mrs Premise:
Well, no, no, but it's not at all a well cat. So, as we were going away for a fortnight's holiday, I thought I'd better bury it just to be on the safe side.

Mrs Conclusion:
Quite right. You don't want to come back from Sorento to a dead cat. It'd be so anticlimactic. Yes, kill it now, that's what I say.

Mrs Premise:
Yes.

Mrs Conclusion:
We're going to have our budgie put down.

Mrs Premise:
Really? Is it very old?

Mrs Conclusion:
No. We just don't like it.
