Robert Macpherson
- Robert Macpherson: And this is Mr. Martin. Martin's been with the firm for 35 years. That's right, isn't it, Martin?
- Mr. Martin: Next Michaelmas, sir. How do you do.
- [Shakes hands with Mrs. Angela Barrows]
- Angela Barrows: Next Michaelmas, how quaint.
- Angela Barrows: Oh, for heaven's sake, ask Mr. White. Mr. White saw him.
- Robert Macpherson: Who's Mr. White?
- Angela Barrows: The blind man.
- Robert Macpherson: What?
- Angela Barrows: I mean, he would've seen him. His dog sniffed his trousers.
- Mr. Martin: I have no dog, sir.
- Mr. Martin: I mean, Mr. White's dog. Don't listen to him, Robert.
- Robert Macpherson: You mean Martin was seen by a blind dog?
- Angela Barrows: Robert, I wish you wouldn't think of me as a woman.
- Robert Macpherson: What?
- Angela Barrows: I'm your business partner.
- Angela Barrows: All right, Robert, then I'm going to give it to you straight from the shoulder. Now, honestly, there is nothing wrong with my improvements. It's those old gremlins you've got working there. If you're as smart as I think you are, you'll get rid of them.
- Robert Macpherson: Get rid of them?
- Angela Barrows: Every man jack. You can't have them and progress. And as for those weavers, well, I mean they can just draw their pensions and take to the caves - that's how much you need them.
- Robert Macpherson: But who'd make the cloth?
- Angela Barrows: Join the 20th century, Robert. Stop making cloth for the privileged few. Make cloth for the millions. Build the factory of today to make the cloth of today - synthetic fiber.
- Robert Macpherson: Nobody understands the workings of the departments better than Martin here. He holds all the purse strings.
- Angela Barrows: Oh, I see. Well, you ARE in the catbird seat. Baseball term - means, sitting pretty.
