Ok, from the beginning I thought it was
Xavier Cougat.
Edit: Cannot be arsed to hang around when Cali has buglered off!

Correct! All numbers for which Xavier Cugat was famous.

She's so impatient though! When Modom has returned, could she very kindly favour the company with a puzzle?

[Nick Armstrong]

Oh, you are off out tonight gallivanting in fine diners yet want to sit at home, lonely by the fireside, awaiting gentelman callers, as and when they wish to toss me half a florin for certain services rendered?

O you have a rich internal life Anna. No, I'm not going anywhere tonight.

Come on, pleasure your gentlemen playmates

[Anna]

Come on, pleasure your gentlemen playmates

You'll be lucky, Duckie!

Yes, I am impatient but can people stay around for the simple solution to a Y?

Oscar Wilde - Symphony in Yellow
Michael Torke - Yellow Pages

Ah. I see. So there wasn't much point in my hunting around for the remaining two elements as you were going to give the answer away!

Actually I put 'oscar' and 'yellow' into google and didn't find the Wilde reference.

OK then, a Z... linking Oscar (for best picture), Ol' Man River and Glinda

Ziegfeld?

Sorry Anton, your idea of going for some Zs sounded so appealing, I went for a snoozzzzze...
