Mainwaring, Wilson and others in “Unfinished Business”

[Mr. Hodges, Captain Mainwaring, Sergeant Wilson and Private Pike go outside the church to check out the camouflaged Rolls-Royce 20/25]

Look at that, Wilson.

Yeah.

You shouldn't have it by rights! She would have given it to me if you hadn't shoved your oar in.

Magnificent, isn't it, Wilson?

Yes.

Look at that craftsmanship, eh? British throughout. Show me the French car that could match that.

Yeah, or a Yankee one.

As indeed you say, Pike, or a Yankee one.

I must say, it looks awfully good as a staff car.

I'll say it looks good. I'll bet there isn't another one like this in the whole of the British Isles.

[But then, a second camouflaged car comes down the street]

Great Scott! What's that?

It's twins.

[The sound of a honking horn is heard as the car pulls up behind Mainwaring's car. Inside it are Lance-Corporal Jones and Private Frazer]

Look at that, Mr Frazer. They've got another one.

Aye. Typical Mainwaring. One on and one in the wash.

Where did you get that car, Wilson?

Outside the Town Hall with Angela's chauffeur.

Then where did that one come from, Jones?

[Godfrey comes out to speak to Mainwaring]

GGodfrey

Captain Mainwaring, I...

Yes?

GGodfrey

I'm sorry to bother you, but the town clerk is on the telephone. He wants to speak to you rather urgently. It seems the Mayor has lost his Rolls-Royce.

[Mainwaring goes inside the church hall to answer the telephone]

Uncle Arthur?

Yes?

Do you think the Mayor's going to be cross with Mr. Mainwaring for putting dirty brown paint all over his Rolls-Royce?
