Scenes with Gilbert
6 scenes Gilbert Gilbert You're the most contemptible person I've ever met in all my life!
Gilbert Confidentially, I think you're a bit of a stinker, too.
Gilbert Come on, sit down, take it easy. What's the trouble?
If you must know, something fell on my head.
Gilbert When, infancy?
Gilbert Can I help?
Only by going away.
Gilbert No, no, no, no. My father always taught me, never desert a lady in trouble. He even carried that as far as marrying Mother.
I was having tea about an hour ago with an English lady. You saw her, didn't you?
Charters Well, I don't know, I mean, I was talking to my friend, wasn't I?
Caldicott Indubitably.
Yes, but you were sitting at the next table. She turned and borrowed the sugar. You must remember.
Charters Yes, I recall passing the sugar.
Well then you saw her.
Charters I repeat we were deep in conversation. We were discussing cricket.
Well, I don't see how a thing like cricket can make you forget seeing people.
Charters Oh, don't you? If that's your attitude, there's nothing more to be said! Come Caldicott. "A thing like cricket!"
Gilbert Wrong tactics. We should've told him we were looking for a lost cricket ball.
Dr. Hartz And I am Dr. Egon Hartz; you may have heard of me.
Gilbert Not the brain surgeon?
Dr. Hartz Yes, the same.
Gilbert Yes, you flew over to England the other day and operated on one of our cabinet ministers.
Dr. Hartz Oh, yes.
Gilbert Tell me, did you find anything?
