Grieg Piano Concerto

B - You remember I gave you some money just before you went to that remembrance service?
M -Remembrance service?
B - Yes.
M - I don't remember that, old boy.
B - It was for a chap you didn't like. You know, he was... one of those?
M - One of those what?
B - Well...
M - Pansy?
B - Yes.
M - (Looking round) Which one?
B - No, no, no, no. You were in your best suit.
M - Was I? Oh, yes, of course! I went to the theatre, of course!
B - No, no...
M - Yes, yes, with Winnie Atwell, yes.
B - (Startled) Winnie Atwell?
M - Well, Marjorie Atwell then, Marjorie. I always call her Winnie because... well, because she looks like Winnie.
B - She's not black.
M - Black? Churchill wasn't black.
etc etc...
