One-Round: I said nobody was to do her!
Louisa Wilberforce: [Begins attacking Louis, who beats him continuously over the head with a blackjack. Mrs. Wilberforce comes out of the next room] Mr. Harvey!
One-Round: I said - I said nobody was to do Mrs. Lopsided!
Louisa Wilberforce: Stop that!
[Louis hits One-Round one last time with the blackjack]

Louisa Wilberforce: Somebody took the key. The cello case is gone!
One-Round: It's, uh, out there too.

Harry: I expect something fell off the roof, mum.

Harry: Probably a... chimney-pot.
Louisa Wilberforce: A chimney-pot?
Professor Marcus: See who it is, Harry
[pushes Harry out the door]
