Dad's Army · Season 1, Episode 15

Mainwaring, Wilson and others in “Unfinished Business”

This really is most awkward, isn't it, Wilson?

I really do feel very deeply for you.

Look, couldn't you help us out?

I'm terribly sorry.

You must realise how embarrassing a situation this is for me.

Well, can't you and Frank go round again?

I think Mum wanted to come, but she's ever so upset at losing me. I'm all she's got, you know. That's why she was a bit off with Uncle Arthur when he asked her.

Oh, you did ask, then?

Yes.

At breakfast.

Frank.

I think she was going to say yes, that is until Uncle Arthur mentioned that there was a sort of burnt taste about the... that porridge, so she picked up the pan and poured it in his Homburg hat. They haven't spoken since.

You take my advice. Whomever you marry, take a very firm stand with your wife from the outset.

Start as you mean to go on, eh?

That's right.

I'll remember that.

Good lad.

Mrs Mainwaring coming? I said is Mrs Mainwaring coming? [Pike pulls a silly face]

Y'know, you're going to have to do something about that habit of yours.

What habit?

This. [Pulls a silly face like Pike]

What? [Mainwaring pulls the silly face again] Do I do that?

Almost at the end of every sentence you go... [Pulls the silly face]

Oh, how awful. Oh, thank you for telling me, Mr. Mainwaring. [Pulls the silly face]
