[Basil is mouthing words to Mrs. Richards, so she is forced to turn up her hearing aid as high as it will go]

Sybil Fawlty:
[quietly] Basil, don't! Don't!

[Basil is still mouthing words]

Mrs. Richards:
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I haven't got it turned up enough.

Sybil Fawlty:
[shouting] Basil!

Basil Fawlty:
[at full volume now, right into Mrs. Richards' face] I SAID... WE SHOULD GO...!

Mrs. Richards:
[jumps back with a shock, hitting her head on the shelf] Oh! Oh, my head! My head!

Basil Fawlty:
Has it come away?

Mrs. Richards:
Oh!

Sybil Fawlty:
[to Mrs. Richards as she elbows Basil] Did you bang your head?

Mrs. Richards:
Yes, yes!

Sybil Fawlty:
Oh dear, let me have a look.

Basil Fawlty:
You'd better go and lie down before something ELSE happens.

Sybil Fawlty:
Shut up, Basil!

Mrs. Richards:
Why don't you call the police?

Sybil Fawlty:
Well, we will, the moment we've searched the rooms.

Mrs. Richards:
[as she exits] My money's been taken!

Sybil Fawlty:
Yes, yes, I know. Try not to speak.

Basil Fawlty:
[picking up a particle] Is this a piece of your brain?

Sybil Fawlty:
[kicks Basil in the shin; he sinks into chair] Shut up, Basil.

Mrs. Richards:
Eighty-five pounds.

Sybil Fawlty:
[to Mrs. Richards] Take my arm.

Mrs. Richards:
I don't need your arm, thank you. I can get down the stairs perfectly all right by myself.

Basil Fawlty:
"Down" the stairs? Oh, well, don't stop when you get to the basement. Keep straight on... give my regards to the earth's core!
