from The Goon Show: The Case of the Missing CD Plates


Grytpype-Thynne: I'm sorry, everyone's out.

Seagoon: Wait! I have a question. Are you a piano short?

Grytpype-Thynne: Only one.

Seagoon: And... where is that?

Grytpype-Thynne: I really couldn't say. I threw it out of the window one night and the next morning it was gone!

Seagoon: You careless, lackadaisical piano waster!

Grytpype-Thynne: Needle-nardle-noo!

Seagoon: To name but a few!

Grytpype-Thynne: Of course.

Seagoon: Do you realize that it struck me in the bagpipes?

Grytpype-Thynne: What?

Seagoon: I'm going to sue you for wanton piano hurling and £50,000.

Grytpype-Thynne: You can't have both.

Seagoon: Very well, I shall take the money.

Moriarty: You will have neither!

Seagoon: Great heavens, it's Count Foreign Fred Moriarty!

Moriarty: Ah-ho!

Seagoon: The fiendish steamroller driver of Regent Street.

Moriarty: Yes, likewise we claim diplomatic immunity from charges that you have been struck by a piano.

 Seagoon: Why?

Grytpype-Thynne: This is a Titicacan legation and that piano carries a Corps Diplomatic plate.
