- Major Wilfred Banks: Anton, isn't it?
- Geoff Goddard: Sorry?
- Major Wilfred Banks: Anton Hollywood, pianist?
- Geoff Goddard: Yes. Well, no.
- Major Wilfred Banks: Well, I'm afraid Joe's decision is final, he doesn't feel you've got what it takes. And if you've come for compensation, you can trot off back to wherever the hell...
- Geoff Goddard: No, it's Geoff, not just Geoff. Geoff Goddard.
- Major Wilfred Banks: Oh! The author! Tunesmith!
- Geoff Goddard: Composer.
- Major Wilfred Banks: Composer, yes, of course.
- Geoff Goddard: The name Anton Hollywood was Joe's idea, it's not real. It's a stage name. He thought he'd do a Russ Conway with me, didn't work out.
- Major Wilfred Banks: So you're Goddard, are you? Read Goddard, didn't think Hollywood.
- Geoff Goddard: No, well, you wouldn't.
- Major Wilfred Banks: Don't slouch, young man! Upright! Shoulders back! Splendid song!
- Geoff Goddard: [in a whisper] Thank you.
