• Captain Peacock : Oh, the caviar sounds rather tempting.

  Miss Brahms : Here, that's 10 pound a throw, you're not having that.

  Captain Peacock : Miss Brahms... we are here to give you a respectable background. And as Lord Hurley has been generous enough to foot the bill, I don't see why we shouldn't have a good meal while we're at it.

  Miss Brahms : That's all you're here for, isn't it?

  Mrs. Slocombe : Well, on our wages, all we could afford in this place would be egg and chips.

• [Lord Hurley has mistaken Mr. Grace's nurse for Miss Brahms, and is now seated at Mr. Grace's table instead of Miss Brahms' table] 

  Captain Peacock : Garçon?

  Head Waiter : Yes, sir?

  Captain Peacock : Erm... we ordered pheasant, lobster, venison, pate de fois gras and guinea fowl, and champagne, and I'd like to make a slight alteration.

  Head Waiter : Certainly, sir. What would you like?

  Captain Peacock : Egg and chips four times and a pot of tea.
