"That's another fine mess you've got me into Stanley!

"Oh Ollie - I didn't mean to... Boo-hoo-hoo"

"It's no use crying over spilt milk Stanley - and stop swaying as if you were 
going to topple over at any moment. 
Stanley!  Stanley! You come here at once and let me smell your breathe! - I 
GUESSED  it - Hmmmmmmmm Hummm!  You've been at the metaphysics again - I 
should have known as much - put that bottle down IM-mediately  and remember - 
Lord knows I've said it often enough - the tax-payer is paying for all this  
- God help him!"  (sigh.) 

"Oh Ollie!  Boo-hoo, Here comes the University Trustees - it was you who 
suggested we pushed this silly rubbish in the first place!
 
"Oh!   That's torn it - I'm sure they've seen through us  -  I'm off!"  

"Ollie!  Ollie! Wait for me!  Don't leave me to face them...."

"Well it just serves you right - what ever did you think the public  are - 
morons?"
