Meredith : [speaking of Lord Paddington] And when you got very angry, you'd wiggle his ears in a most extraordinary manner! And you'd fight like a demon!
Ollie : "Fight like a demon."
[to Stan]
Ollie : Wiggle your ears.
Stan : What?
Ollie : [sternly] Wiggle your ears!
Stan : [Stan tries] I can't wiggle my ears!
Ollie : Of course you can't!
Stan : Course I can't!

Meredith : You see, is like this, sir: When his lordship was here before, he was the greatest athlete and the greatest scholar this university ever boasted of. And, oh, what a brilliant mind.
Ollie : Are you trying to make me believe that this is the guy you're talking about?
[points to Stan]
Meredith : I know it! I was never so sure in my life.
Ollie : Brilliant mind?
[laughs]
Ollie : Why, I've known him for years and he's the dumbest guy I ever saw. Aren't you, Stanley?
Stan : I certainly am.

Lord Paddington : Good gracious, Meredith, why don't you fix that window. Hit me right on the cranium.
Meredith : Your lordship! You've got your memory back! You know me.
Lord Paddington : What on earth are you talking about? Of course, I know you. Where's my tea and crumpets? Hurry.
Meredith : Oh, it's a miracle! A miracle!
Lord Paddington : Are you bobby?
