Altaira
Where have you been? I've beamed and beamed.
Robby
Sorry, miss. I was giving myself an oil-job.
Altaira
Robby, I must have a new dress, right away.
Robby
Again?
Altaira
Oh, but this one must be different! Absolutely nothing must show — below, above or through.
Robby
Radiation-proof?
Altaira
No, just eye-proof will do.
Robby
Thick and heavy?
Altaira
Oh, no, no, it’s got to be the softest, loveliest thing you’ve ever made for me, and fit in all the right places, with lots and lots of star sapphires.
Robby
Star sapphires take a week to crystallise properly, would diamonds or emeralds do?
Altaira
Well, if they’re large enough.
