Mr. Martin
- Robert Macpherson: And this is Mr. Martin. Martin's been with the firm for 35 years. That's right, isn't it, Martin?
- Mr. Martin: Next Michaelmas, sir. How do you do.
- [Shakes hands with Mrs. Angela Barrows]
- Angela Barrows: Next Michaelmas, how quaint.
- Angela Barrows: Oh, for heaven's sake, ask Mr. White. Mr. White saw him.
- Robert Macpherson: Who's Mr. White?
- Angela Barrows: The blind man.
- Robert Macpherson: What?
- Angela Barrows: I mean, he would've seen him. His dog sniffed his trousers.
- Mr. Martin: I have no dog, sir.
- Mr. Martin: I mean, Mr. White's dog. Don't listen to him, Robert.
- Robert Macpherson: You mean Martin was seen by a blind dog?
- Mr. Martin: Have you noticed? The evenings are getting longer.
- Angela Barrows: Uh, that generally happens about this time of year.
- Mr. Martin: He didn't actually say they were getting married. But he was quite poetic about it. He said she was like a breath of the New World.
- Mr. Martin: I was never married myself, but I understand it's a great institution.
- Angela Barrows: Well, you wouldn't think that if you'd been married to my ex-husband.
- Wine Shop Proprietor: [after Martin asks for a "flat" whiskey bottle to fit in his coat pocket] Will you try this one for size, sir? It's quite a new brand - Kilwilly.
- Mr. Martin: Kilwilly?
- Wine Shop Proprietor: Aye.
- Mr. Martin: No, no, I don't like the name.
- Wine Shop Proprietor: Well, now, how about this - Old Acquaintance?
- Mr. Martin: Aye. That'll do fine.
- Angela Barrows: Well, I suppose there's no production that can't be rationalized.
- Mr. Martin: I beg your pardon.
- Angela Barrows: You've heard of time and motion study, of course? Though, how that could be applied here I don't quite see.
- Mr. Martin: We've plenty of time here, Mrs. Barrows, but there's not a great deal of motion.
