Captain Peacock : [walks up to the manageress] Did you notice that I was clicking my fingers, clearing my throat and banging my spoon on the table?
Canteen Manageress : I did notice it, yeah.
Captain Peacock : And what message do those actions convey to you?
Canteen Manageress : Well, when my two-year-old does it, it usually means he needs to go to the potty.
Captain Peacock : Your truculent behavior has not gone unnoticed and will be reported!
Canteen Manageress : Good! That's what I hoped. Then perhaps the management will realise that sacking my waiting staff is more trouble than it's worth because I ain't serving.
[pause]
Canteen Manageress : You'll have to make do with a set menu.
Captain Peacock : Well, then, may I ask you what is on this set menu, or are you not programmed to give an intelligent response?
