  Mr. Grainger : Well, I can't get the old boiler working very often.

  Mr. Lucas : Having a bath with Mrs. Grainger, are you?

  Mr. Grainger : I don't find that amusing!

  Mr. Lucas : Come to think of it, neither would I.

• Mr. Grainger : This is a funny name for a sweater. "Mit der Hand gewaschen"?

  Captain Stephen Peacock : That means "wash by hand".

  Mr. Lucas : It's a good thing you parley the Deutsch, Capt. Peacock.

  Captain Stephen Peacock : I had to study it during the war, you know.

• [discussing the German signs] 

  Mrs. Slocombe : One dear old lady customer of mine got a terrible shock. She was caught short and walked straight through the door marked "Herren".

  Captain Peacock : You should have directed her to the door marked "Damen".

  Mrs. Slocombe : I didn't have time. She saw the word "Her" and was off!

  Mr. Grainger : And I'm here to tell you that she won't make the same mistake again.
