Sir Gerald Courtney : Just see to the aperitifs, will you?
[Dobbs, the butler, walks out of the frame and returns with a tray upon which is a carafe, presumably containing sherry]
Sir Gerald Courtney : Dobbs, you're... you're downright Victorian. We must have cocktails, Dobbs, cocktails!
Dobbs : [horrified] N-not cocktails, sir!
Sir Gerald Courtney : Yes. Now don't tell me that it isn't British. You're deplorably behind the times. I drink 'em m'self. What's more, I can mix 'em. Mix is the word.
Dobbs : They tell me they even put *ice* in them in America.
Sir Gerald Courtney : Yes, well, I don't think we'll go quite that far.

June : *Especially* a father.
