Ridcully:
[entering Lord Vetinari's office]
This had better be important. I'm in the middle of an experiment.
Lord Vetinari:
Involving a knife and fork, no doubt.
Ridcully:
[sighing]
I don't expect a layman to understand the pressures of university life.
Lord Vetinari:
Incredible though it may seem, we've found a practical use for one of your magical devices.
Ridcully:

Lord Vetinari:
The object in question is, um...
[Lord Vetinari looks at Drumknott]
Drumknott:
An omniscope, my lord.
Lord Vetinari:
Enabling us to see things at a distance, I believe.
Ridcully:
The omniscope is a highly complex, very unstable piece of equipment.
Lord Vetinari:
You mean it doesn't work?
Ridcully:
Well...
[stammering]
Ridcully:
Relatively speaking, it works.
Lord Vetinari:
Excellent. Kindly have it up and running by dawn tomorrow.
Ridcully:
Now listen, magic is not some kind of workman's tool that you can hire out by the hour.
Lord Vetinari:
Just as well, because I wasn't intending to pay you.
