[Polly is trying to tell Basil that Kurt is drunk in front of the guests]
He's potted the shrimps.
What?
He's potted the shrimps!
Shrimps? Not having shrimps tonight, Polly. Now... [starts to walk away with the guests]
He's soused! [beat] The herrings.
What are you on about?
[slowly] He's pickled the onions and he's smashed the eggs in his pot [crosses eyes] under the table.
[to the guests] Excuse me. [to Polly] Have you been drinking?
No, not me!
Then will you behave yourself!
