  • Reginald Perrin : [On the phone]  Uh-hmmm. Oh, dear. Oh, dear, oh, dear. Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh dear. Yes, right, certainly, officer, right. OK, goodbye.

    [Hangs up] 

    Elizabeth Perrin : Reggie, what's the matter?

    Reginald Perrin : Oh, McBlane broke an arm last night. I have to go and bail him out.

    Elizabeth Perrin : Bail? I didn't know breaking an arm was an offense.

    Reginald Perrin : Oh, yes, if it's someone else's arm, darling.

    Perrin's Staff Members : [all speaking together]  You didn't get where you are today by writing a novel about ants!

    C.J. : Exactly, but it's never too late for a leopard to change horses in mid-stream.

    Reginald Perrin : What is your novel called, C.J.?

    Reginald Perrin : Yes, I can see the difficulty, C.J. Tricky choice, tricky choice! It would be too much bother for you to go and get the book.

    C.J. : [Pulls manuscript from his pocket]  I just happen to have an extract here with me.

    Reginald Perrin : Oh, dear.

    C.J. : [reading]  "The owl led Thrugwash Blunt through the forest and then suddenly without any warning-"
