1 quoteMiscommunication Over a Latin Translation
Mr. Dicks
Now, why are you here, Ornshaw?
Ornshaw
Because you invited me, sir.
Mr. Dicks
And why did I invite you, Ornshaw?
Ornshaw
Well, because I couldn't translate the Latin, sir.
Mr. Dicks
Why, Ornshaw? Why?
Ornshaw
Because it's a bloody silly out-of-date language do you mean, sir?
Mr. Dicks
Two was it, Ornshaw... I think we'll make it four... ...And why do you think it's a... silly out-of-date language, Ornshaw?
[trying to hold his temper]
Ornshaw
Well, because I couldn't speak to a dead Roman even if I knew the bloody lingo, sir!
