Transcript
Here we are again, abroad with the Lockhart. Mr. and Mrs. Lockhart are taking a trip to Europe. That is, Mrs. Lockhart is taking Mr. Lockhart.
As you probably know, Mr. Lockhart represents the average type of businessman. Blunt, comfortable, knows his own mind, enjoys his business and community, and would much rather have gone fishing. Mrs. Lockhart represents the pleasant type of housewife, belongs to the women's club in the literary club of her town and still retains the spirit of romance.
We find them crossing the English Channel to France. Now that wasn't a bad channel crossing, was it, dear? No, but it might have been. Oh, now don't be grumpy. Well, I wanted to fly over to Paris.
There's lots of other times we can fly, dear. Look, we're coming into Calais now. I'll see enough of it later on. We'll be along in five minutes, sir. Alright Stuart, have you got your landing ticket, madam?
Well, I know, I don't think we have. When you need to find the person, madam, ensure your tickets and see that you get it, give up the right one and get a landing ticket from him.
Where is the person? Why, you find him in the cabin, smoking you, ma'am, ensure your passport and see that you get it back. And when the port is command-bored, you want to get hold of one for your hand luggage.
Well, are you listening? Yes, I'm listening. And see that you get the port is number, so as you will know him again. and get as short as prick as ever you can man, as the thing gets off sharply.
Will, are you paying attention? I am. And you'll want to give up your landing ticket at one end of the game planks, and your landing pass at the other end. And when you get to the customs you'll have to find your porter, just keep on hollowing out his name and you'll see that you've got your keys handed to open your luggage.
