Jonathan, on moving.

Jonathan: Scotch-taping boxes, Scotch-taping pans and pens, and cans, and fans. Scotch-taping hats. Scotch-taping masks, and books, and sheets. Scotch-taping incense, Scotch-taping perfumes, and shampoos, and tools. Scotch-taping bottles, Scotch-taping photos, and scarves, and jewels. The flowers shall remain. I know it’s wrong, ’cause I should Scotch-tape them too.

Two friends, on gifts.

Charles: Has my parcel arrived?

Cecily: It has not. Believe me, when it does, you will know about it. I will be so excited.

Charles: But you don’t even know what it is yet.

Cecily: I assume you only ever gift great books and letters.

Charles: Not untrue.
