Salute the Toff (1951)

Roddy Hughes: Jolly

Quotes 

• The Honourable Richard Rollison : Oh, Jolly?

  Jolly : Sir?

  The Honourable Richard Rollison : I have a shrewd suspicion I may be going to Manchester tonight, Jolly.

  Jolly : So I gathered, sir.

  The Honourable Richard Rollison : Oh. Keyholing again?

  Jolly : Certainly not, sir. I was listening on the extension.

• Lady Anthea : [sampling Jolly's coffee, made to "the old recipe"]  Delicious!

  Jolly : Thank you, m'lady.

  Lady Anthea : As you say: strong as death, hot as Hades and sweet as love.

  Jolly : Mr Rollison is apt to quarrel with that, m'lady. He says life is stronger than death, love is only sweet until a man has lost his milk teeth, and how on earth do I know that Hades is hot?
