Goodnight Sweetheart Quote
[Gary and Phoebe are looking at cots and prams in Harrods. Phoebe feels very out-of-place in such grand surroundings]
Phoebe: [looking at the price of a cot] Bleedin' 'ell - you could buy a car for that! [the shop assistant comes across to her]
Shop Assistant: [patronisingly] I wonder, is Madam quite sure she has sufficient wherewithal for this particular item?
Phoebe: Beg your pardon?
Shop Assistant: It's very expensive. May I suggest that Madam would be more at home with the seconds in our remainders department. [Phoebe looks crestfallen and complains to Gary who goes up to the assistant]
Gary: [cockney accent] 'Scuse me, Guv. Can I 'ave a word in your shell-like? You see, me and the trouble-and-strife, we've come up West on the chara to get a few bits and pieces for our new saucepan-lid, right? But if you continue to give my ball-and-chain grief, we're gonna 'ave to get on our plates-of-meat and take our business up the frog-and-toad. No skin off my wotsit. Currant bun's out - it's a lovely day for a ball-of-chalk.
Shop Assistant: I'm afraid I don't quite follow you.
Gary: [posh accent] Then let me use a language I'm sure you *will* understand. [produces a large wad of fivers]
Gary: I am prepared to spend obscene amounts of this - but only if my good lady is fawned over, grovelled at and generally made to feel like the lady she is. [he surreptitiously puts a wad of coupons into the assistant's hand]
Gary: Petrol coupons. Am I making myself clear now?
Shop Assistant: Perfectly, sir.
Shop Assistant: [obsequiously, to Phoebe] Madam, allow me to apologise for the earlier misunderstanding. Please be assured I am your disposal just as long as yo
