The Love Bug - Confrontation of Nerves and Courage
Mr. Thorndyke:
Havershaw, I am not a cowardly man, but I get the feeling that thing is out to get me.
Havershaw:
Now, now, sir, none of that. We're not losing our nerve, are we?
Mr. Thorndyke:
BLAST you, Havershaw! How dare you patronize me! I am not losing my nerve!
Havershaw:
No, sir. No, sir, of course not.

The Love Bug - Negotiating a Price in a Business Deal
Mr. Thorndyke:
I take it that the question of price does not concern a gentleman like yourself.
Jim Douglas:
I wouldn't haggle, if that's what you mean.
Mr. Thorndyke:
And what might your desired price range be, sir?
Jim Douglas:
Oh, about $75.
Mr. Thorndyke: [laughs, thinking this is a joke]
$75.
Jim Douglas:
I could do $80 in a pinch. What do you have in the way of cheap, honest transportation?
Mr. Thorndyke: [visibly annoyed; snatches back the glass of sherry]
Cheap honest transportation." I will bid you good day, sir.
Jim Douglas: [a Volkswagen Beetle rolls through the mechanic's shop doors and gently bumps him]
Good day. Hey! Well, now, where did this come from?
Mr. Thorndyke:
Havershaw!
Havershaw:
Mr. Thorndyke, yes, sir?
Mr. Thorndyke:
What is this thing doing in my showroom, may I ask?
Havershaw:
I believe Miss Bennett may know something about this.
Mr. Thorndyke:
Miss Bennett?
Carole:
Yes, you remember when Mrs. van Lewett purchased a new Bentley? Well, she also asked us to purchase a small used car for her upstairs maid.
Mr. Thorndyke:
Then why isn't Mrs. van Lewett's maid in her blasted vehicle?
Carole:
Well, the car was returned this morning, Mr. Thorndyke; she was having some kind of trouble with it.
Mr. Thorndyke:
Get it out of here.
Jim Douglas:
What's that for?
Mr. Thorndyke:
I beg your pardon?
Jim Douglas:
Well, why don't you let the little car alone?
Mr. Thorndyke:
Are you presuming to tell me what to do in my own establishment?
Jim Douglas:
Ok, I'm out of line. It just bugs me to see somebody abusing a decent piece of machinery.
Mr. Thorndyke: [laughs coldly]
How fascinating. Now that you've had the benefit of your point of view, shall we regard our relationship as terminated? Havershaw! Get this eyesore out of my showroom. And if ever I find it in here again, someone is going to find himself in a great deal of trouble!
