Patrick Barlow: Captain Myers

Quotes 

• [Captain Myers is giving his father-of-the-bride speech at the wedding of his daughter to Norman Scott] 

  Captain Myers : As father of the bride, it is my duty to toast the happy couple, Mr and Mrs Scott.

  Everyone : [raising their glasses]  Mr and Mrs Scott.

  Captain Myers : This is the second time this task has befallen me. You will recall our first-born daughter, Belinda, was lucky enough to marry that fine actor and gentleman Terry-Thomas. Those Magnificent Men...

  Everyone : ...In Their Flying Machines.

  Captain Myers : They can't be here today. Terry has to attend the premiere of Monte Carlo Or Bust! Or perhaps they've *chosen* to stay away...

  [Susan looks horrified] 

  Captain Myers : ...while my second daughter, Susan, marries this dreadful ho-mo-sex-ual. That's where my wife is, sitting at home weeping in fury with her child two months pregnant by this flagrant poofter. Quite he got her pregnant, I don't know. She must have been caught downwind. So, all I have to say in tribute to this desolate affair is... leave him, my darling! Come home! Come home!

  Everyone : Come home!

  [Norman and Susan link hands, defiantly]
