[Mr. Lucas is busy cleaning the dummy lady's shoe when somebody in black shoes approaches him]
Good morning, Mr. Lucas.
(stands up) Oh, sorry.
[We see that the man in black shoes is Captain Stephen Peacock, the floorwalker]
Am I to understand that you have deserted gentlemen's ready made in favour of the ladies?
Well I'm just giving a helping hand, sir.
Well I'm glad to see that the arrival of the ladies in your territory hasn't caused any bad blood.
Oh no, not from me Captain Peacock.
Mmmm. One wonders whether the arrival of, er, gentlemen's shoes, for instance, would have been treated with the same enthusiasm.
Mr. Lucas is doing his best to make us feel at home, Captain Peacock, which is more than can be said for the rest of the department.
Well just a passing phase, Mrs. Slocombe. With your personality, I'm sure you could charm the very birds off the trees.
Oh, oh I wouldn't say that.
Neither would I.
And, Lucas, while you're down there, straighten those seams. I hate to see crooked seams.
Yes, Mr. Peacock.
Hm?
Captain Peacock. (Salutes to Captain Peacock and then gets back to work, but he accidentally touches the legs of Mrs. Slocombe)
No!
I'm-I'm sorry, Mrs. Slocombe, Captain Peacock told me to do it. I mean straighten them, I mean. Not yours, the dummies.
Griffin wants you.
Yes thank you. (to Mrs. Slocombe) I'm so sorry.
