Detective Wipo on the job!

SIR VINTNEY: Only, less said the better old boy! You know... we don't want
to rock the boat...
HONEST HAL: Me sir - no I won't say a word...
SIR VINTNEY: Only if word gets out that we're an exclusive club, we'll have
that communist mayor , whaaisname...
HONEST HAL: You mean Mayor Onourback?
SIR VINTNEY: Yes, well, you know the fellow - he'd try to shut us down, or
see our accounts or something...
HONEST HAL: See our accounts!!! We can't have that!
SIR VINTNEY: Quite so my dear fellow, so just make sure you don't take
bookings from riff-raff like that again, alright?
HONEST HAL: Ooooh no sir, Honest Hal's the name, Honest as the day I was
born...
SIR VINTNEY: Excellent, excellent... now let me get you a drink, and tell me
