• Jeeves : It is not always a simple matter to gauge the effect of alcohol on a subject previously unexposed to such stimulants. It can have distressing results in the case of parrots.

  Bertie Wooster : Parrots?

  Jeeves : I'm thinking of an incident when I was in the service of the late Lord Brancaster, who owned a parrot. One day it happened that the bird was lethargic, sir, and His Lordship offered it a portion of seedcake steeped in the '84 port.

  Bertie Wooster : Oh, good egg.

  Jeeves : The bird bit His Lordship on his thumb and sang part of a sea shanty. It then fell to the bottom of its cage and remained there for some considerable period of time with its legs in the air, unable to move.

  Jeeves : Although, forgive me for saying so, your methods are a little on the rough side. Well, sir, one cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs.

  Bertie Wooster : I say, an omelette. Erm... Do you think you could get me one?

  Jeeves : Certainly, sir.

  Bertie Wooster : Perhaps with a little half bot of something.

  Jeeves : Undoubtedly, sir.

  Bertie Wooster : Right ho, Jeeves.
