- I'm sure they are.

Thank you.

- For you.

- Oh, thank you, sir.

Can I help you, sir?

Yes. Have you got Time To Take A Walk?

Oh, Mabel? Time To Take A Walk.

- Cubicle three, please. I'll bring it to you.

- Thank you.

- No, rather too military, I think.

- (Whispers) Oh, drat.

- Did you speak, dear?

- No, madam.

Now, what else is there?

Yes, well, not quite

the Merry Widow yet, I think.

- I'm sure we can find you something.

- Thank you.

Oh, no.

Yes, it has possibilities.

Ooh! My best hat!

Oh, really, how very possessive.

Surely this has something.

A little challenging.

No, it's not really me.

Now, this one is really you, madam.

Well, let's see.

This one is 12 guineas, madam.

Yes, well, it's a little too plain.

Haven't you something

rather more seductive?

(Inaudible)

Surely I had something else? Ah, yes.

Can I help you, madam?

I bought the hat I'm wearing.

12 guineas, I feel positively guilty!

- It really is a bargain.

- It is really, isn't it?

- Good morning, madam.

- Good morning.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Can I help you, madam?

- Oh, thank you.

I was going to put it on there.

I want something out of it.

Thank you.

- You've had a busy day, I see.

- Just fair, so far.

Allow me.

You'd think they'd fit

some decent locks, wouldn't you?

After all, you pay enough.

Oh, I mustn't complain.

Everyone's been so kind.

So very kind.

Oh, by the way, I must get a coat.

Could you direct me to coats? Outsize?

- Try the ground floor.

- Yes, I will.

Oh, there you are.

- Did you like that last one?

- No, no.

Oh. Well, I've brought you some more.

You're going to be here a long time.

I shan't mind a bit.

I like listening to records.

- Yes, I like listening to records.

- So I see.

Oh, don't go.

I don't like listening alone.

But I must. I've got another customer.

Do you want me to report you?

Well, no, of course I don't. Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, I like that one. It's exactly like you.

It's yours.

Oh, no, you shouldn't

give me your photograph.

It's to commemorate our first meeting.

Miss Wilson, there is a customer waiting.

Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Drew.

- Snake!

- I was just picking up my pictures.

- It wasn't pictures you were picking up!

- Thank you.

- Stay away, Bluebeard.

- I was studying the layout.

- So I noticed.

- You don't think I'd make a play for her?

- Yes.

- Darling, you know I like music.

- Yes, particularly duets.

- Don't be silly.

I'm getting impatient.

We've got to wait

until the new boss settles down.

It's got to be really worthwhile this time.

Then you can kiss Burridges goodbye.

I'll be kissing you goodbye

if you don't stay away.

I warn you, if I so much as catch you...
