The Robert Robinsons

The Robert Robinsons


	The Robert Robinsons each have behind them a word 
	roller, like the one on Call My Bluff. To start with it 
	says "The Robert Robinsons". Each time they ting a bell 
	which is on the table in front of them, the word roller 
	goes round and a new word appears.


Stephen		Ah, well now yes, good evening. That much is
		certain.

Hugh		Though tish ah, nay, hush and fourpence,
		Mr Dwyer.

Stephen		And an extra point for being so clever!

Hugh		Would that it were, would that it were.

Stephen		Ah, indeed, would that it were, Mr Charteris,
		would that it were.

	They both ping their bells and the words "pompous" and 
	"insufferable" appear.

Hugh		Here's a thing, not that pish and tish.

Stephen		I have a letter from a Colin Elgood of Carshalton
		Beeches telling me he turns his carrier bags
		inside out so as not to give free advertising to
		Mr Sainsbury and men of his ilk.

Hugh		Nay men of his stamp.

Stephen		Of his ilk, stamp and kidney.

Hugh		You answer is better Mr Meredith, so much
		better but wrong, sadly wrong.

Stephen		And an extra mark for being clever!

	They ping and the words "self-satisfied" and "fraudulent" 
	appear.

Hugh		Ah, we have a plump! Someone has plumped. Go
		on, Mr Harris, have a plump too.

Stephen		Hish, tusk, ah now, it only remains for me to
		declare the Twee family winners of our little game.

Hugh		An extra mark followed by this round of applause.

	Ping! The words "absurd" and "gasbag" appear.

Stephen		Ah, the pity of it, the pity. Time, our old enemy,
		comes round again.

Hugh		Nish, tussock, flimp and fivepence.

Stephen		We bid you goodbye.

Hugh		We bid you farewell.

Stephen		But ah, though, flish, bish and trivvock, not
		for ever.

	Ping! The words "sod" and "off" 

VOX POP
Hugh		(As policeman) There's method
		in my madness. Ha, ha, ha!!!!!
		(Madly)
