Jeeves and Wooster · Season 1, Episode 5

Bertie Wooster and Angela Travers in “Brinkley Manor”

Bertie Wooster

So! It appears that you've gone and got engaged to the Gussie.

Angela Travers

Quite right. We're in love.

Bertie Wooster

Oh, come now, Angela. Gussie's... Gussie's a splendid chap in many ways. If you've got a sick newt on your hands, well, Gussie's just the fellow to tell you what to do until the doctor comes. But honestly, old thing, you could fling bricks by the half-hour in England's most densely populated districts without hitting one girl willing to become Mrs. Fink-Nottle without a general anesthetic.

Angela Travers

Well, I thought it would be fun!

Bertie Wooster

Well, I'm surprised at you, young Angela. No wonder they say, "Oh, woman, woman!"

Angela Travers

Who do?

Bertie Wooster

...Well, chaps, supposedly. You know you're potty about Tuppy!

Angela Travers

For goodness's sake, Bertie, go away and boil your head!

Bertie Wooster

Well, now, Angela, if you'll permit me to observe…!

Angela Travers

No!

Bertie Wooster

Very well, then. I shall say no more. [gets up to leave, then pauses in the doorway] Just... tinkety-tonk!
