• [last lines] 

  Victor Meldrew : Right. We're back, everyone. Who's for a double whopper?

• [first lines] 

  Victor Meldrew : I'm really glad we arrived back to find this half-eaten double whopper with cheese lying in my front rose-bed. Some people put manure in theirs, but I'll have none of it. A double whopper with cheese is the thing. Harry Wheatcroft swears by them.

• Margaret Meldrew : I presume Nick Stacey gave you his verdict on that overflow pipe in the loft.

  Victor Meldrew : He did, yes.

  Margaret Meldrew : Told me the pipe was a complete write-off. "Corroded away to begorra," he said.

  Victor Meldrew : "Buggery" I think you'll find.

  Margaret Meldrew : Sorry?

  Victor Meldrew : Corroded away to buggery. It's a technical term they use in the plumbing industry.
