Stanley Potter: Mrs. Penfield! They're for our guests, Mr. and Mrs. Dabney. They put money in this place. Naturally we cant put them on a diet. Mrs. Dabney: Down the hatch! Stanley Potter: Hello, Mr. Dabney, sir! Mr. Dabney: [as Stanley starts serving the couple their 2 cornish hens] There he is! End of the line, boy. Put them right here. Mrs. Dabney: Don't they look wonderful? Mr. Dabney: Oh yes, indeedy! Stanley Potter: This one's for you, Mr. Dabney. Mr. Dabney: Why thank you. Now I can serve the rest. Stanley Potter: Yes sir, Mr. Dabney. Mr. Dabney: All right.! You've got to hand it to Vera. When she throws a party she doesn't fool around. [Estelle Penfield sneakily lifts Mr. Dabney's cornish hen from behind the bush with a long serving fork while his mind is occupied on the ambrosia wine] Mr. Dabney: Now what's this? Oh, ambrosia! Pour a little wine, dear. Mrs. Dabney: Oh yes. thank you. Mr. Dabney: [Suddenly discovering that his chicken is missing] Hey it's gone! Mrs. Dabney: Did you say something? Mr. Dabney: Well, didn't the boy put a chicken on that plate, or am I going crazy? Mrs. Dabney: Well, he certainly put a chicken on your plate, I saw it. Mr. Dabney: I thought so. Ohhh! Mrs. Dabney: [as Estelle makes an attempt to steal Mrs. Dabney's chicken] Now you have my chicken, honey! Honey! [Estelle accidentally pokes Mrs. Dabney in the butt] Mrs. Dabney: OWWWW! Ahhh! I've been stabbed! Ohhh! Something bit me! Mr. Dabney: What's going on here? Mrs. Dabney: Something bit me and it hurts. [wailing in pain] Mrs. Dabney: OH HO HO HO! Stanley Potter: Please sit down and relax. Mrs. Dabney: Oh I can't sit down. I've been stabbed! Mr. Dabney: Listen here now, young man, I'm not used to this sort of treatment! Vera Radford: What's going on here? [as Vera catches Stanley drinking from the Dabneys' wine bottle] Vera Radford: STANLEY! Mr. Dabney: Vera, does this sort of thing happen everyday? Vera Radford: Oh, no, of course not. Stanley, please get Mr. and Mrs. Dabney fixed up. Will you please get them some more chicken? Mr. Dabney: Yes, and get us a chicken that won't fly away this time. Vera Radford: Oh [chuckles] Vera Radford: of course. [turning to Mrs. Dabney] Vera Radford: Are you all right, dear? Mrs. Dabney: Well, I think I am.
