• Major Wilfred Banks : Anton, isn't it?

  Geoff Goddard : Sorry?

  Major Wilfred Banks : Anton Hollywood, pianist?

  Geoff Goddard : Yes. Well, no.

  Major Wilfred Banks : Well, I'm afraid Joe's decision is final, he doesn't feel you've got what it takes. And if you've come for compensation, you can trot off back to wherever the hell...

  Geoff Goddard : No, it's Geoff, not just Geoff. Geoff Goddard.

  Major Wilfred Banks : Oh! The author! Tunesmith!

  Geoff Goddard : Composer.

  Major Wilfred Banks : Composer, yes, of course.

  Geoff Goddard : The name Anton Hollywood was Joe's idea, it's not real. It's a stage name. He thought he'd do a Russ Conway with me, didn't work out.

  Major Wilfred Banks : So you're Goddard, are you? Read Goddard, didn't think Hollywood.

  Geoff Goddard : No, well, you wouldn't.

  Major Wilfred Banks : Don't slouch, young man! Upright! Shoulders back! Splendid song!

  Geoff Goddard : [in a whisper]  Thank you.
