Hannay: Are you married? Milkman: Yes, but don’t rub it in. What’s the idea now? Hannay: Well, I’m not. I’m a bachelor…A married woman lives on the first floor. Milkman: Does she? Hannay: Yes, and I’ve just been paying her a call and now I want to go home. Milkman: Well, what’s preventing you? Hannay: One of those men…is her husband. Now do you see? Milkman: Why didn’t you tell me before, old fellow? I was just wanting to be told. Trying to keep me with a lot of tales about murderers and foreigners. (The milkman happily and freely offers his coat and hat)…You’re welcome to it. You’d do the same for me one day.
