Wilhelm:
Mr. Grossmith, kindly oblige me by removing your hat. George Grossmith:
Why, sir? Are you ready for me? Wilhelm:
Would that I were, sir. And, I'll thank you not to refer to my designs as "vulgar", Mr. Lely. Durward Lely:
Mr. Wilhelm, to my eyes, your designs are not only vulgar, but obscene! Wilhelm:
How DARE you, sir? Gilbert:
Strong words, Lely - what the deuce do you mean? Durward Lely:
Mr. Gilbert, I am a respectably married man and I love my wife dearly. Now, one of the few pleasures that she has enjoyed since the untimely demise of my beloved mother-in-law is to watch me perform upon the stage. But, I am not prepared to allow her to suffer the embarrassment of seeing me flaunted before the public like a half-dressed, performing dog! Gilbert:
You have my sympathies, Lely. Unfortunately, your avocation as an actor compels you, on occasion, to endure the most ignominious indignities, to which Grossmith will doubtless testify. George Grossmith:
Without question, sir
