Mr. Mash.But please let us introduce You to the other ladies attached to this establishment. Mr. Tight, would you fetch them? (Mr. Tight exits left)
Mr. Flee.(Looking at Mr. Nemesis suspiciously) Miss Perfluous has a beard.
Mr. Nemesis.So would you if you hadn't shaved for two days.
Mr. Flee.Logic seems alright, but there must be a flaw somewhere.
(Mr Tight comes running in left.)
Mr. Sausage.Why Chimp - what's the matter?
Mr. Tight.Oh, its awful - awful.
Mr. Mash.What's awful? Have you looked in the mirror or
page break Mr. Tight.Its. It's the women - something's happened to them...
Vere de VereSomething happened to the women?
Mr. Tight.They've all gone funny.
Mr. Mash.(Ponderously) What exactly do you mean 'all Funny'?
Mr Tight.(Pointing right) Look!
