of an hour.Basil Fawlty I’m sorry are you talking to me?
Mr. Hutchinson Indeed I am. Yes, now, is it possible for me to reserve the BBC2 channel for the duration of this televisual feast?
Basil Fawlty Why don't you talk properly?
Mr. Hutchinson How do you do?
Polly How do you do?
Mr. Hutchinson Wait a minute, we've met before I think.
Polly Yes, I served you at breakfast.
Mr. Hutchinson Oh yes, and you spilled the grapefruit
juice didn't you, you naughty girl?
Polly And you moved the glass, didn't you?
Mr. Walt This was supposed to be my table, I did ask the
waiter.
Basil Fawlty Well, he's hopeless isn't he? You might as
well ask the cat.
