Well there you can see the scores now. St Stephen in the lead there with his stoning, then comes King Richard the Third at Bosworth Field, a grand death that, then the very lovely Jean d’Arc, then Marat in his bath - best of friends with Charlotte in the showers afterwards - then A. Lincoln of the U.S of A, a grand little chap that, and number six Genghis Khan, and the back marker King Edward the Seventh.

All right then, bananas. We haven’t done them, have we? Right, bananas. How to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. Now you, come at me with this banana. Catch! Now, it’s quite simple to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. First of all you force him to drop the banana; then, second, you _eat_ the banana, thus disarming him. You have now rendered him 'elpless!

I’ll tell you what’s wrong with you: your head’s addled with novels and poems! You come home reeling of Chateau La Tour! And look what you’ve done to mother! She’s worn out from meeting film stars, attending premieres, and giving gala luncheons!
