    • Quotes
      • Sonny MacGregor: I'm having a day's rough shooting and I want some bullets, please.
      • Gunsmith: Cartridges? Certainly, sir. Any particular make?
      • Sonny MacGregor: No, as long as they've got gunpowder in them.
      • Gunsmith: What bore?
      • Sonny MacGregor: Boar? No, no. A few rabbits, pheasants, small fry, you know.
      • Gunsmith: No, no, no, sir. Bore. B-O-R-E.
      • Sonny MacGregor: Bore!
      • [laughs]
      • Sonny MacGregor: Hmm?
      • Gunsmith: 12, 20 or 4-10?
      • Sonny MacGregor: Er... Definitely, yes.
      • Gunsmith: Well, which, sir?
      • Sonny MacGregor: Well, the largest you have, surely.
      • Gunsmith: 12-bore. How many, sir? 50?
      • Sonny MacGregor: No. No, I think you'd better make it a thousand.
      • Gunsmith: A thousand?
      • Sonny MacGregor: Yes.
      • Gunsmith: But didn't you say a day's rough shooting?
      • Sonny MacGregor: Yes, I did, er... and it may be pretty rough. On second thoughts, I think you'd better make it fifteen hundred, perhaps.
