Waiter : Oh thank you sir!

Waiter : Pardon, you, you uh rang sir?
Egbert Fitzgerald : Who me? Well, my dear fellow, what is there here to ring with?
Waiter : Pardon sir, that's just a figure of speech.
Egbert Fitzgerald : Oh, oh. Uhuh. Well, bring me a... let me have a... eh, there there. You see? Your figure of speech has made me forget entirely what I wanted.
Waiter : Could it have been that you require crumpets?
Egbert Fitzgerald : No no no, I never ring for crumpets.
Waiter : Would you be the kind of man who would ring for a toasted scone, sir?
Egbert Fitzgerald : Scone? Well, now uh, no. no. Try me again.
Waiter : Well, then could you, could you imagine yourself with a hankering for a nice gooseberry tart?
Egbert Fitzgerald : Oh what an acid thought. Please.
Waiter : No crumpets. No scones. No gooseberry tart. Well that lands both of us in a cul-de-sac doesn't it, sir?
Egbert Fitzgerald : Of course it does. I knew it would.
Waiter : You know I hate to leave you like this. You torn with doubts and me with my duty undischarged.
Egbert Fitzgerald : Oh well cheer up old man, cheer up. It will come to me.
Waiter : Was it animal or vegetable sir?
Egbert Fitzgerald : No.
Waiter : Well that leaves us mineral doesn't it sir. Now sir, was it a bit of half and half, a noggin of ale, a pipkin of porter, a stoop of stout, or a beaker of beer?
Egbert Fitzgerald : Tea.
Waiter : Tea. Ha. Well isn't it a small world sir.

Guy Holden : Well strike me pink!
