In this episode: Bertie Wooster (5), Jeeves (5), Tuppy Glossop (1)

[Bertie wakens with a terrific hangover]

Jeeves, I'm — I'm getting too old for all this. I feel like something that's been rejected by the Pure Food Committee.

[Claude and Eustace argue over Marion, a nightclub singer with whom they're both infatuated]

CClaude

Have you come back to inflict your beastly society on Miss Wardour?

EEustace

Is that why you sneaked back in this underhand fashion?

CClaude

Underhand? I like that! Well, may the best man win, that's what I say.

Never mind about the best man. What about me? Suppose Aunt Agatha finds out.

In my experience, ladies who spell "Gwladys" with a "w" are seldom noted for their reliability, sir. It gives them romantic notions.

[Bertie proposes kidnapping a small child to solve a problem]

I regret that the terms of my employment do not permit me to take part in criminal activity, sir.

[dismissively] What rot, Jeeves. We're only going to borrow him for an hour. In any case, there's nothing remotely criminal about bringing two loving hearts together.

I attended the performance of a cinema film recently in which the estranged parents of the child were brought together again by the tot in question.

Well, how?

If I remember rightly, sir, it said, "Dadda, doesn't 'oo love Mummy no more?"

"Dadda, doesn't 'oo love Mummy no more?" And that did the trick, did it, Jeeves?

Oh, yes, indeed, sir. The picture concluded with a close-up of the happy pair in fond embrace, with the child looking on with natural gratification.

[training the baby] No, you must say "kiss Tuppy"... I'm sorry, unless you comply with our wishes in this matter, no more toffees will be forthcoming.

What about the money you owe me?

ASAlexander Slingsby

I don't owe you one goddamn red cent! My wife looked up your cockamamie soup in a cookbook!

It's Cock-a-Leekie! And my nanny never wrote a cookbook.

ASAlexander Slingsby

She didn't have to! It's in every cookbook from here to Vladivostok!
