Flushed Grollings

The set is one of those warehousey sort of places, where the merchandise is behind the assistant who wears a brown warehouse coat. Lots of blue plastic trays with pro-ey looking bits and pieces.

Stephen enters with a list.

Hugh
Help you, sir?
Stephen
Um, a dozen grollings please.
Hugh
Flushed or galvanised?
Stephen
Flushed.
Hugh
Right. That be it?
Stephen
A copper flange-pipe, braced, two jubilees, seven nipples ...
Hugh
Greased?
Stephen
Greased nipples, yeah. Five olive-spantles, jigged and onioned.
Hugh
Twelve or seventeen mill?
Stephen
Twelve. Metre of fleeling wire, coaxial, twenty UJ's and a parping couplet.
Hugh
Male or female?
Stephen
Male. No, second thoughts, one of each.
Hugh
Do you want the parping couplet standing proud?
Stephen
No, embarrassed I think.
Hugh
An embarrassed parping couplet. That it?
Stephen
Two rolls of spowling tape.
Hugh
Double-sided?
Stephen
Do they do single-sided?
Hugh
Only in Viennese lengths.
Stephen
Better go with double then. Six sheets of gruddock paper.
Hugh
Parkinised?
Stephen
No.
Hugh
Right.
Stephen
Nearly there. Four felching pens and a bevelled spill-trunion.
Hugh
Only got one felching pen left. Got some frotting pencils though.
Stephen
Will they do?
Hugh
Well, you know the thrush-plate?
Stephen
Yeah.
Hugh
You can use a frotting pencil on that, rude to the look-out valve on the fumpspoke and you can cut out the felching altogether. As long as you rim the satchel-arm properly first.
Stephen
Right. Four frotting pencils then.
Hugh
So, that's it, is it?
Stephen
Yup.
Hugh
You've already got a clip-jawed double lock brace have you?
Stephen
Do you reckon I'll need one?
Hugh
Well, are you going straight or curved?
Stephen
Straight, then curved.
Hugh
Ah. Well you should be all right then, as long as you remember to suck the clenching pin tight to the arc thrust.

Stephen slaps Hugh in the face.

Stephen
How dare you.
Hugh
Sorry.

(As woman) I had shares in Gas, Electricity, Water, the lot. But then the government sold them all.
