Nick Guest:
I just think he's the most beautiful man I've ever met.
Catherine Fedden:
Darling, you don't fall in love with somebody *because* they're beautiful. People are lovely *because* we love them, not the other way round.
Catherine Fedden:
You're really very rich, aren't you, Sir Maurice?
Sir Maurice Tipper:
Yes. I am.
Catherine Fedden:
How much have you got?
Sally Tipper:
Oh, my dear, what a question. You can never exactly say, can you? It goes up so fast. All the time these days.
Catherine Fedden:
Well, roughly.
Sir Maurice Tipper:
Roughly... one-hundred-and-fifty million.
Catherine Fedden:
One-hundred-and-fifty million pounds?
Sir Maurice Tipper:
Give or take a few million, yes.
Catherine Fedden:
I noticed you gave some money to the appeal at Podier Church.
Sally Tipper:
We give to endless appeals and churches.
Catherine Fedden:
How much did you give?
Sir Maurice Tipper:
I don't recall exactly.
Catherine Fedden:
You gave five francs. That's about 50p. *That's* how much you gave.
Gerald Fedden:
[arriving] What's all this about?
Sir Maurice Tipper:
This young lady was giving me some criticism. Apparently I'm rather mean.
Catherine Fedden:
Oh, I didn't say that.
Sally Tipper:
You certainly implied it.
Catherine Fedden:
All right, I did. And if I was in charge I think I should stop people from having one-hundred-and-fifty million pounds.
Gerald Fedden:
Just as well you're not, then, Puss.
Sally Tipper:
They're going to have to learn. The homosexuals, I mean.
Nick Guest:
Actually, we are learning to be safe.
[silence]
Nick Guest:
These days we use protection, and there are other things one can do: oral sex, for example - it's much less dangerous.
Sally Tipper:
...Kissing, you mean?
Sally Tipper:
It's sort of sex-mad, the world we live in.
