Orville: You're making a tragic mistake, love.

Jenny Hill: I've made a tragic mistake. More tragic than you can possibly imagine. And unless I am very careful... I am going to die for it.

Sigerson Holmes: The clue obviously lies in the word "cheddar." Let's see now. Seven letters. Rearranged, they come to, let me see: "Rachedd." "Dechdar." "Drechad." "Chaderd" - hello, chaderd! Unless I'm very much mistaken, chaderd is the Egyptian word meaning "to eat fat." Now we're getting somewhere!

Sigerson Holmes: Piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy poo/Cried the farmer's daughter, Phyllis...

Jenny Hill: [hesitant singing] Piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy, pig - Well, I don't think I know that one.

Sigerson Holmes: Pity! Next time you decide to impersonate a music hall singer who's been dead for the past twelve years, I suggest you learn her full repertoire! Won't you come in, MISS LIAR?

Sigerson Holmes: "Eduardo Gambetti"? The name strikes a bell. Ever heard of him, Sacker?

Orville: [slaps head; low voice] "Oh, not Gambetti again!"

[high voice]

Orville: "'Fraid so, sir."

[low]

Orville: "Fat little fart, fancies himself as an opera singer."

[high]

Orville: "That's him, sir."

[low]

Orville: "Pour us some tea, will you, Sacker?"

[normal voice]

Orville: Yes, sir.

[low]

Orville: "How does he do it, Greerson?"

[high]

Orville: "Pays the highest prices for spicy letters, sir. Everything on the market goes to Gambetti."

Sigerson Holmes: What does your father do, Miss Hill?

Jenny Hill: How did you know so quickly that Browning's doesn't have a Clearwater branch?

Sigerson Holmes: I assumed you were lying. What does your father do, Miss Hill?

Jenny Hill: ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU'RE GOING TO ASSUME A BROKEN ASS, MR HOLMES!
