• [first lines] 

  Alistair : All ashore that's going ashore.

  Judith : You sure you won't come on with us?

  Jean : No, thanks. Lionel's tired.

  Lionel : I didn't say anything about being tired.

  Jean : Well, I'm tired, so you must be.

  Lionel : Oh, I see. Thanks for a delicious meal, Alistair.

  Alistair : Absolutely de nada, Lye.

  Jean : And you're both coming down to the country tomorrow.

  Judith : Oh, yeah, be nice to get out of London for a bit.

• Lionel : Would you excuse us, Mrs. Bale?

  Mrs. Bale : Yes, of course. It's almost time for the shipping forecast anyway. The last I heard the wind was doing some very peculiar things in the Irish Sea.
