Sergeant Samuel Dudfoot : [Dudfoot and his two constables have made an arrest] Did you search him?
Constable Albert Brown : One pocket book, one watch, one pen-knife and no money.
Sergeant Samuel Dudfoot : One pen-knife and no what?
Constable Albert Brown : No money.
Sergeant Samuel Dudfoot : Come on, turn out your pockets.
Constable Albert Brown : Oh, alright. One pen-knife and fifteen bob.
Sergeant Samuel Dudfoot : Blimey! Will you never learn to be honest? He's as much our prisoner as he is yours... Here you are, five bob each.
