Quartet Page #2
Or is that a secret?
Is it, Marta?
Is that a new skirt you're wearing,
Dr Cogan?
It clings beautifully to you.
And how it accentuates
My goodness.
What do you think of that, Marta?
I don't talk such things.
You're overstepping the line, Wilf.
Go for your walk.
I would love to,
if only you would come with me.
Go for your walk.
May I?
I wonder if you could help me. I can
never do this without my glasses.
I can't see a thing.
You don't have a buttonhole, Wilf.
Well, there you go.
You know, I could propose to you, but
this is as close to kneeling as I get.
Go for your walk.
Sure. Would you like to join me, Marta?
I don't do such things.
He's a very naughty boy, Marta.
He could be your father
or your grandfather.
Like that. OK?
Swing it close to the ground.
That's it. That's it. Like a pendulum.
Just like this.
When you're finished
being a croquet expert, Nigel,
I have a pound says
I'll kick your arse.
Ah, the way you play,
you probably will.
You forget.
I saw your Barber Of Seville,
and your singing
brought tears to my ears.
Saw you in Carmen,
I'll never forget it, but I'll try.
- Morning, Nobby.
- Ah, morning, Mr Bond.
- Simon, what's up?
- All good, mate.
Oh, by the way, Nobby,
if you get a chance,
I could use another one of the usual.
- Do you need any money?
- No, it's alright.
Look, I've got some change from last
time. I'll stick it in the usual place.
Oh, and watch it, Cissy Robson's
been looking for you all morning.
Can't think why. I'm the
most attractive man in the place.
La donna mobile
I read somewhere that the average man
thinks of sex every seven seconds.
Do you?
I wish it was only every
seven seconds.
Do you know,
the first time I set eyes on her,
I thought she was
the most beautiful, sexiest creature
I'd ever clapped my eyes on.
Oh.
Oh, Cissy, Cissy, my love,
can you imagine the passionate love
we might have made?
But it's not too late.
We can still dive beneath the blankets
and cuddle till the end of time.
- What do you say to that, sweetie?
- Ready.
Why are you laughing?
You'll never guess what I've been
listening to. Our Rigoletto.
We are so lovely...
- Uh, Cissy, the gala committee.
- Oh...
This was the last time we sang it.
Remember, Reggie?
- Why have they reissued it?
- I don't know.
I remember the recording session,
the production, everything,
like it was yesterday,
and yet I can't remember
what I had for breakfast this morning.
- Apricot jam.
- 'Rigoletto - Horton and Paget'.
My name isn't there, of course.
I should've been top of the bill,
I had the name part.
Still, I made a living from it,
which was all I really wanted.
