HARRY:

Cor blimey! Are you going to have a party?

HANCOCK:

No, my grandmother's coming over .....

HANCOCK'S OLD WAR PAL, "SMUDGER" SMITH

HANCOCK:

..... and could he he get the women? Could he get the women!? He was the only bloke who came back from Dunkirk with two women!

SID JAMES:

Two of 'em?

HANCOCK:

Well it was too far for one to row, wasn't it?

"KIPPERS" HANCOCK PUTS HIS FOOT IN IT

HANCOCK:

'Ere, I know what I wanted to ask you: what ever happened to that ATS girl you were knocking about with? The one with the big hooter, you know, the one you used to take out for a bet; she'd got great big feet - ooh, she was a shocker! - what ever happened to her?

"SMUDGER" SMITH:

I married her.

HANCOCK:

Yes, yes, of course, yes, I- I remember her now, yes, nice girl she was, got a very very nice disposition, yes ..... Sid, get us a drink will you?
