Catherine Fedden: You're really very rich, aren't you, Sir Maurice?
Sir Maurice Tipper: Yes. I am.
Catherine Fedden: How much have you got?
Sally Tipper: Oh, my dear, what a question. You can never exactly say, can you? It goes up so fast. All the time these days.
Catherine Fedden: Well, roughly.
Sir Maurice Tipper: Roughly... a-hundred-and-fifty million.
Catherine Fedden: A-hundred-and-fifty million pounds?
Sir Maurice Tipper: Give or take a few million, yes.
Catherine Fedden: I noticed you gave some money to the appeal at Podier Church.
Sally Tipper: We give to endless appeals and churches.
Catherine Fedden: How much did you give?
Sir Maurice Tipper: I don't recall exactly.
Catherine Fedden: You gave five francs. That's about 50p. *That's* how much you gave.
Gerald Fedden: [arriving] What's all this about?
Sir Maurice Tipper: This young lady was giving me some criticism. Apparently I'm rather mean.
Catherine Fedden: Oh, I didn't say that.
Sally Tipper: You certainly implied it.
Catherine Fedden: All right, I did. And if I was in charge I think I should stop people from being able to have a-hundred-and-fifty million pounds.
Gerald Fedden: Just as well you're not, then, Puss.
