Basil: Madam, may I ask do you have a hearing aid?
Mrs Richards: What?
Basil: [shouting] A hearing aid!
Mrs Richards: Yes I do have a hearing aid!
Basil: Would you like me to get it mended?
Mrs Richards: Mended? It's working perfectly fine.
Basil: No it isn't!
Mrs Richards: I haven't got it turned on at the moment.
Basil: Why not?

Basil: [whispering] 60% if you turn it on.

Basil: My wife handles all such matters, she'll be delighted to discuss it with you.
Mrs Richards: I will.
Basil: (muttering) you heard that all right didn't you...
