I don't care how spiritual Harold Pinker is, Madeline. I'm Stephie's guardian.
You know he played cricket for Oxford?
I don't care if he played tiddlywinks for the Sorbonne.

I don't care how spiritual Harold Pinker is, Madeline. I'm Stephie's guardian.
You know he played cricket for Oxford?
I don't care if he played tiddlywinks for the Sorbonne.
She'll make something of you, perhaps. I'm sure there are many good qualities underneath that, uh...rough exterior.
Uh, well, no, actually.
Ah! What ho, Sir Watkyn?
Kindly do not address me in that familiar way, Wooster. I happen to know that, once again, you yield to the awful temptation to steal a policeman's helmet!
Oh, rot!
[Bertie tries to steal the manuscript from Sir Watkyn's study]
What are you doing here?
Er ... dinner!
Dinner? This isn't the dining room.
Isn't it? Oh. Thought I could smell tapioca.
The dining room's over there. You can't miss it. There are people having dinner in it.
Even the black shorts that my followers wear are symbolic.
Symbolic?
Certainly! They signify the brevity of our patience with present-day political apathy. And black is symbolic of the fact that so riddled with inefficiencies is our present-day industrial structure, that my suppliers ... ran out of all the other colours.
What parcel was this, Wooster?
Nothing special... usual sort of brown-paper affair, bit of string, suspicion of sealing wax, that's all.
Perhaps you have hidden depths, Wooster, is that it?
I don't think so. No one's ever mentioned it, anyway.
["Oh By Jingo"]
Oh by gee by gosh by gum by Jove!
Oh by Jove, oh by Jove, oh by Jove!
Oh By Jingo, won't you hear our love?
Will you kindly raise your voice?
Louder!
We will build for you a hut!
Yes!
You will be our favourite nut!
Correct!
We'll have a lot of little oh-by-Joveses!
Dress them up in clogs and clotheses.
Oh By Jingo said by gosh by gee!
G, A, B, C, D, E, stop!
Oh by jiminy, please don't bother me!
Bother her, bother her!
So they all went away, saying
Oh by gee by gosh by gum by Oh By Jingo, by gee, you're the only one for me!
Bring me lobster on a clean plate!
