Shirley Holmes : Observation. You keep tugging at your tie.
Francis Boris 'Bo' Sawchuk : So?
Shirley Holmes : Well, if you'd been to a private school before, a tie'd be like a second skin. Bus transfer in your pocket - Bus 9, Southbank. You're wearing one green sock and one blue and your skin has a slight residual odor of marine life.
