- Joe Lawson: Now, you're getting married on Wednesday week, right?
- Joe Lawson: That's right, Sir.
- Joe Lawson: Right. Well now off you go on your honeymoon, and you can tell Mavis she can have the rest of that week off - with pay of course - and then we'll see you in London on Saturday morning.
- Ned Rutter: In London, on Saturday, Sir?
- Joe Lawson: Aha, we're playing Chelsea, you know; got to have you for that of course. And then on the Monday morning, when you return here, you'll start working for me. I'll tell you what I'll do - I'll start you off in the packing department.
- Ned Rutter: That's very kind of you, Sir. Can I tell Mavis, Sir?
- Joe Lawson: By all means.
- Joe Lawson: [Mavis has come in] Ah, Mavis, enjoy your tea? We've got some wonderful news for you.
- Mavis Pink: [to Ned] Have you been transferred, Dear?
- Joe Lawson: If all goes well.
- Ned Rutter: You'll never guess the fee!
- Mavis Pink: How much?
- Ned Rutter: Oh, about twenty thousand.
- Mavis Pink: What? Pounds?
- Ned Rutter: Yes, Love.
- Mavis Pink: How much do you make on that?
- Ned Rutter: Nothing.
- Joe Lawson: You don't understand, Mavis. It's nothing to do with Ned really. It's just a deal between the two clubs.
- Mavis Pink: Oh, oh, I see. So you hand over twenty thousand pounds and Ned Stops playing for Monktown Rovers and starts playing for you.
- Joe Lawson: Exactly!
- Mavis Pink: Mr. Lawson, I know I'm dense but I still don't follow. I can see what the Rovers get out of it, and I can see what you get out of it. What I can't see is what Ned gets out of it.
- Joe Lawson: He gets fourteen pounds a week just for playing football and I'd say for a young fellow, he's doing pretty well for himself.
