• [first lines] 

  Bertie Wooster : [singing]  Good night, Vienna. You city of a million, something or others... La, la, la, la, la, la, something else... Good afternoon, Jeeves.

  Reginald Jeeves : Good afternoon, sir.

  Bertie Wooster : No, no. That's the song, Jeeves. And a rum song it is, too. I don't know how they think them up.

  Reginald Jeeves : No, sir, it is a great mystery.

• Aunt Agatha : We shall offer her money to release your Uncle George from her thrall.

  Bertie Wooster : Just as you like, but whenever people do that in books, the girl gets the sympathy. She draws herself up and looks at them with steady eyes, causing them to feel not a little cheesy...

  Aunt Agatha : What trash you do read, Bertie. I sometimes despair of you.

  Bertie Wooster : I just think you'll find it dashed embarrassing offering this girl money.

  Aunt Agatha : I am not proposing to do any such thing. You will undertake the negotiations.

  Bertie Wooster : Me?

  Aunt Agatha : Certainly. Here is a cheque for 100 pounds. That should be ample. The point is that your uncle must be released from this grim entanglement.

• Bertie Wooster : I'm broad-minded. If Uncle George wants to marry a waitress, let him, say I. The rank is but the penny stamp.

  Reginald Jeeves : The guinea stamp, sir. The poet Burns was writing at a time...

  Bertie Wooster : Never mind the poet Burns, Jeeves.

  Reginald Jeeves : No, sir.

  Bertie Wooster : Expunge the poet Burns from your mind.

  Reginald Jeeves : I have already done so, sir.

• [last lines] 

  Bertie Wooster : Jeeves, you're a wonder.

  Reginald Jeeves : Thank you, sir. We do our best.
