Are You Being Served? Quote

Captain Stephen Peacock: Miss Brahms...?
Miss Shirley Brahms: Yes, I know, Captain Peacock. I'm late.
Captain Stephen Peacock: Not good enough, Miss Brahms. You are fifteen minutes late. What would happen if everybody else was fifteen minutes late?
Miss Shirley Brahms: The store would open at quarter past.
Mrs. Betty Slocombe: Don't be cheeky, Miss Brahms. Captain Peacock is quite within his rights to dress you down.
Captain Stephen Peacock: Have you an explanation?
Miss Shirley Brahms: Yes. It's Friday. I haven't got any money. And I couldn't afford the bus fare. I had to hitchhike.
Captain Stephen Peacock: Well you should have left home earlier.
Miss Shirley Brahms: I did. I stood on the corner, and lifted my skirt and showed a bit of stocking like Marilyn Monroe did in "Bus Stop".
Captain Stephen Peacock: What happened?
Miss Shirley Brahms: The bus crashed and I had to make a statement.
Mrs. Betty Slocombe: The same thing happened to me once, with a Centurion tank.
Captain Stephen Peacock: Were you trying to stop it, Mrs. Slocombe, or were you driving it?
