Knock on Wood Page #4

- Yes, ma'am.

- It seems to be stuck.

- Ring for the stewardess.

- She'll be here in a minute, so...

- Yes, I suppose so.

- Lovely night, isn't it?

- Yes, very nice.

- Are you from Paris?

- No.

- London?

- Yes.

Enjoyed the coronation?

Oh, would you please

try to get us undone.

- I'm terribly sorry.

- It's quite alright.

Marty, you sure you're alright?

Please... I'll be fine.

Perhaps you and your friend

would like to sit together?

Oh, that's very nice of you.

You sure you wouldn't mind?

No, not at all.

Watch your head.

Oh, you dropped...

- Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

- It's quite alright.

The washroom is at the rear.

Wasn't that awful? I spilled

chocolate all over her coat.

Well, I suppose it don't mean a

thing, Marty. It's all in your mind.

Dramamine clears it up right away.

You know, I just read an article.

It said in the article that...

you'd never get airsick if you

had something in your stomach.

- Please, don't say stomach.

- What did you have for dinner?

I don't want to think about it.

But, you should think about it. The

article said you should think about it.

It eases the tension,

relaxes the stomach muscles...

- Please, don't say stomach.

- Marty, don't be a child.

You've got to fight this thing.

Now tell me, what did

you have for dinner?

Well, first I had a

little chicken soup.

Chicken soup. Well, chicken soup is

wonderful. It's light, nourishing, warm,

- going down. Settles the stomach.

- Please, don't say stomach.

- Well, what else did you have for dinner?

- Lobster.

Lobster? Good, good.

Lobster, very good.

High protein content,

iodine. Very good indeed.

- You have it boiled?

No, thermidor..

- Oh, themidor.

- With a thick cheese sauce.

That's nice.

Thick cheese sauce.

Then some chicken tetrazzini,

broccoli with hollandaise sauce

and a chopped anchovy salad

with Roquefort dressing.

- Then for dessert...

- No names, just initials.

"Baked Alaska" with a rich,

creamy, fluffy, sugary...

All right.

You know, you were right.

My stomach feels much better.

- Please, don't say stomach.

- Don't you feel well?

- I think I should like a different seat.

- Front or rear?

Oh, anywhere, just away

from that particular young man.

Thank you.

I beg your pardon.

Aren't you, Jerry Morgan?

- Yes.

- Well, I'm Godfrey Langston's secretary.

Mr Langston is a

great admirer of yours

and consider it an extreme

privilege to meet you.

- Tell him, some other time.

- Tell him Mr Morgan will be right over.

Thank you!

Why did you do that for? I'm

in no mood to meet anybody.

That's Godfrey Langston. One

of biggest wheels in England.

- Very social. If he likes you, you're in.
