• Mr. Humphries : [trying to tactfully tell Mrs. Slocombe she looks too old on camera]  Mrs. Slocombe?

  Mrs. Slocombe : What is it? Did I do something wrong?

  Mr. Humphries : No, very good, very good. Do you know, I really believed that bit about the bargains. We've got a slight problem, though. Did you... did you ever see a film called "Lost Horizon", where they were all in Shangri-La?

  Mrs. Slocombe : Oh, that's the place where they stayed young forever.

  Mr. Humphries : Yes! Do you remember, the old priest said if they ever left the valley, they'd become very, very old, and this young girl didn't believe him, and she left and she walked down the passage, and when she got to the end, she was 110.

  Mrs. Slocombe : Well, what's that got to do with me?

  Mr. Humphries : You're halfway down the passage, you'll have to back up a bit.
