[opening scene: close shot of Otley lying in bed with his landlady] Gerald Arthur Otley:
You know, as landladies go, you are undoubtedly the most warm-hearted, generous and gracious... that I've ever owed rent to. Landlady:
Three months is a lot to owe Gerald Arthur Otley:
I'm expecting a cheque - I've entered this filthy limerick compettiion and I'm almost certain to win. Landlady:
Not to mention all the things you've lifted. You're a naughty boy, d'you know that? When you moved in here, this was a *furnished* flat. [wide shot of room with bare floorboards, a bed, a chair, a wardrobe - and not much else] Landlady:
Now everything's on a second-hand cart in the Portobello Road. Gerald Arthur Otley:
I never did trust your cleaning woman. Landlady:
And what about the damaged sink and the Confirmation medal in the gas-meter? Gerald Arthur Otley:
Dearest one, I thought you came up here to sample my unbridled sensuality, not to take a bloody inventory. Landlady:
You're a luxury I can't afford, love. [she turns and hugs him] Landlady:
Still, come here and give us a goodbye kiss. Gerald Arthur Otley:
Goodbye? Where are you going? Landlady:
Oh, not me, you. You're being evicted this morning. Gerald Arthur Otley:
I'm being evicted? After our night of passion? Landlady:
Well I felt I had to get *something* out of you before you left
