[Peter decides to stop in at the Press Office, after telling Jeannie that he had better things to do. He finds her cleaning what looks like a mimeograph machine, and they each have no idea who the other one is]
Jeannie Craig : Oh, hullo. Have you come to fix this?
Peter Stenning : Well, I hadn't, but for you, why not?
Jeannie Craig : [embarrassed] Oh, I'm sorry, they'd said they'd send someone. Can I help you? Nearly everyone's gone home.
Peter Stenning : Yeah, I'd like a copy of tonight's official line-ups.
Jeannie Craig : Tonight's what?
Peter Stenning : Uh, the official releases.
Jeannie Craig : Oh! Those are all a bit smudged, a bit over-inky, I'll get you a clean one. We're in a terrible state here. What with holidays and flu, we're all doing everyone else's job.
Peter Stenning : [Admiring her shapely arse as she bends over:] It happens to the best of us.
Jeannie Craig : Success!
[She hands him a paper]
Jeannie Craig : No smudges.
Peter Stenning : This is all I get, sweetie?
Jeannie Craig : That's all you get.
Peter Stenning : You wouldn't like a drink with me, or a lift home?
Jeannie Craig : Just for my record, I'd like your name.
Peter Stenning : Peter Stenning. Just for my record, I'd like yours.
Jeannie Craig : [She straightens up and stares at him, remembering now his name and his rudeness on the telephone exchange] Peter Stenning?
Peter Stenning : Yes.
Jeannie Craig : Express?
Peter Stenning : Oh, you've heard of me.
Jeannie Craig : Oh, yes. And if you're Peter Stenning, that's not all you get.
Peter Stenning : Oh, great, great.
Jeannie Craig : You get this too, sweetie.
[She slaps his face]
Jeannie Craig : Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to dive back into the Pool.
[she storms off, and Peter looks both injured and intrigued]

[Jeannie is working as a telephone operator; this is the first time she's talking with Peter Stenning, just a few sentences later]
Peter Stenning : Listen, your job is to pass messages on, when you're asked!
Jeannie Craig : My job is to do what I'm told by the people who gave me the job, and anyway, this isn't my job; I'm from the Pool.
Peter Stenning : Well, then why don't you dive back in and drown?

Peter Stenning : This girl's a bigger threat than radiation!
Jeannie Craig : I heard that remark.

Jeannie Craig : [watching Peter carrying a lost child on his shoulder] You look as if you're used to carrying children.
Peter Stenning : My doctor says I have the perfect figure for it.
