Jeeves and Wooster 1x3

The Village Sports Day at Twing
(or, the Gambling Event)

Season 1, Episode 3

& Wooster: I gather that Miss Platt is not of the noblesse.
    Jeeves: No, sir. She is a waitress.
    Wooster: How is Aunt Agatha going to take to that? She's not like me. I'm broad-minded. If Uncle George wants to marry a waitress, let him, say I. The rank is but the penny stamp.
    Jeeves: The guinea stamp, sir. The poet Burns was writing at a time...
    Wooster: Never mind the poet Burns, Jeeves!
    Jeeves: No, sir.
    Wooster: Expunge* the poet Burns from your mind.
    Jeeves: I have already done so, sir.


& Wooster: So if your scheme works and Uncle George edges out, it will do your pal a bit of good.
    Jeeves: Precisely, sir. My friend Smethurst would regard it as a consummation* devoutly* to be wished.
    Wooster: That's rather well put, Jeeves. Is that your own?
    Jeeves: No, sir. The Swan of Avon, sir.
    Wooster: Ah.

& Lady Drucilla Wickhammersley: Mr Wooster. Mr Little, Mr Widgeon. What in God's name are you doing there?
    Wooster: We are...
    Little: Er...
    Widgeon: We...
    Jeeves (clears throat): The gentlemen had expressed an interest in horticulture*, my lady. I was enlightening them as to the life cycle of the earthworm. Essential, I've always felt, for a proper understanding of the subject.
    Lady Drucilla: Oh. Oh, I see. Very well, then. Do carry on.


& Wooster: Jeeves, you're a wonder.
    Jeeves: Thank you, sir. We do our best.
