[Backstage, giggling quietly]
Seagoon:

Milligan:
[Backstage, corpsing badly!]
Seagoon:
Hm! There's only one entry. We'll have to go in there! Ha ha ha! Ha ha, ahem! Dear listeners. Up a narrow street. In a broad road. Which ran through a long narrow lane. In a quaint... [sings] ...Old fashioned town!
Grytpype:
You'll starve.
Seagoon:
We saw a small green door.
Greenslade:
We now reveal for the very first time exactly what is going on behind that green door.
Minnie Bannister (singing):
Green door, yatta bumdebum... Greeen dooor, bwarck bwarck... [making chicken noises] green do-or... Ooooohh...
Henry Crun:
Min, Min... I can't concentrate on the brown leather when you keep singing the green door you know.
Minnie Bannister:
Aww, you gotta get modern Henry.
Henry Crun (shouts):
Modern!
Minnie Bannister:
Modern.
Henry Crun:
I am modern Min! I am known as 'Modern Crun'!
Minnie Bannister:
That's a messy [??indecipherable??]
Henry Crun:
You think that because I don't sing rhythm-type melodies, that I'm a corny. Well you asked for this.
Minnie Bannister:

Henry Crun:
You asked for it..!
Minnie Bannister:

Minnie Bannister:
Awww dear, dear.
Henry Crun:
You and your Dan Leno school of rhythm. [Pauses for laughs] Now let us get back to the leather omnibus.
Minnie Bannister:
We never seem to sell any.
Henry Crun:
I know, I can't understand it, you know. We make the finest leather omnibuses in the world.
FX:
[Penguin sounds]
Henry Crun:
Min, Min, the the penguin wants to go out.
Minnie Bannister:
Awww, then then. I tell you what Henry. We want to sell more of these modern leather rhythm omnibuses. We should do more modern American advertising-type advertising.
Henry Crun:
We can't get more modern than we are already, Min.
Minnie Bannister:
What do you mean Henry? Uryeurrhhhh!
Henry Crun:
We've got a gaslit poster in the gents wash up and brush up in Piccadilly Tube, you know.
Minnie Bannister:
I bet that's been marked for life by now.
Henry Crun:
We must... Keep production rolling Min.
Minnie Bannister:
Yes.
Henry Crun:
Help me lace up this leather engine.
Minnie Bannister:
Mind the piston rods now.
