Her: Where is your sweet Master?
Mr Lover’s Personal Assistant: Asleep.

When Mr Lover’s Personal Assistant has their back turned she tucks a case of medicines under her apron.

Mr Lover’s Personal Assistant: With all my Heart, Sir.

An Estate Agent and his Apprentice enter a double room with brown carpets. The Apprentice points at the stained divan.
The Estate Agent turns to the audience, mopping his forehead. The Apprentice moves around the divan, checking underneath it, sitting on different areas, bouncing.
Estate Agent: Any complaints? Apprentice [continuing with the bouncing]: Hard work - hard work - not complaining - but very weak - wrestling bouts every night.
