Iris Henderson : I was having tea about an hour ago with an English lady. You saw her, didn't you?
Charters : Well, I don't know, I mean, I was talking to my friend, wasn't I?
Caldicott : Indubitably.
Iris Henderson : Yes, but you were sitting at the next table. She turned and borrowed the sugar. You must remember.
Charters : Yes, I recall passing the sugar.
Iris Henderson : Well then you saw her.
Charters : I repeat we were deep in conversation. We were discussing cricket.
Iris Henderson : Well, I don't see how a thing like cricket can make you forget seeing people.
Charters : Oh, don't you? If that's your attitude, there's nothing more to be said! Come Caldicott. "A thing like cricket!"
Gilbert : Wrong tactics. We should've told him we were looking for a lost cricket ball.

Gilbert : [Walks toward the door with Iris, then stops] Wait a minute. It's gone!
Iris Henderson : What's gone?
Gilbert : Why the tune! I've forgot it!
Iris Henderson : No, no!
Gilbert : Wait a minute, let me concentrate.
