Stiffy's dog attacks a police constable, who falls off his bike into a pond

SBStiffy Byng

[to the constable] What on earth did you do that for? You might've scared him out of his wits, hurling yourself about like that. [addressing the dog] Poor old Bartholomew!

POPC Oates

We must caution you, Miss Stephanie!

SStiffy

[talking to dog] Did the ugly man nearly squash him flat?

OOates

I was proceeding along a public highway when the dog leaped at me in a violent manner. I was hurled from my bicycle —

SStiffy

Well you shouldn't ride a bicycle. Bartholomew hates bicycles.

POPC Oates

I ride a bicycle, Miss, because if I didn't, I would have to cover my beat on foot!

SStiffy

Do you good! Get some of the fat off you.

[Bertie, in the background, hits his face with his palm]

POPC Oates

I will have to summons you once more, miss, for being in possession of a savage dog whilst not under proper control.

SStiffy

Don't be an ass, Oates. You can't expect a dog to pass up a policeman on a bicycle! It isn't human nature.

Stinker! Good heavens!

[they shake hands cordially]

SStinker

Bertie! Well, well, well!

I always wondered what became of you!

SStinker

I was wondering only the other day what had happened to you. Good heavens!

Well, well, well!

SStinker

Extraordinary thing!

And here you are!

SStinker

Well, well, well!

Absolutely amazing. Good heavens.

SStiffy

Er — is that the end?

How's Stinker?

SBStiffy Byng

Who?

Your fiance.

SBStiffy Byng

I don't have a fiance. If a girl's fiance can't stand up to a girl's uncle and demand a girl's hand in marriage, he has no right to call himself a fiance.

I thought he had done all that?

SBStiffy Byng

He did. But uncle Watty refused.

Well that's hardly Stinker's fault ...

SBStiffy Byng

He obviously didn't put enough backbone into it.

SBStiffy Byng

Gussie's playing Pat in the "Pat and Mike" cross-talk act at the village concert I'm producing.

Oh, really? And who's playing Mike in this merry mélange of fun and topicality?

["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?

RSRoderick Spode, Stiffy Byng, Rev. Stinker Pinker

Louder!

We will build for you a hut!

MPMajor Plank, Chief Toto

Yes!

You will be our favourite nut!

MPMajor Plank, Chief Toto

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!

MPMajor Plank, Chief Toto

G, A, B, C, D, E, stop!

Oh by jiminy, please don't bother me!

RSRoderick Spode, Major Plank, Chief Toto

Bother her, bother her!

So they all went away, saying

AAll

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!
