Quotes from Oh, Mr Porter!
[William Porter is wheel-tapping a train]
Managing director's wife: You may think me a little stupid but why do they tap them?
William Porter: Well, you see madam, it's like this. If I tap the wheel with this hammer and the wheel goes clang, then I know that the wheel's there.
Managing director: But supposing that the wheel doesn't go clang?
William Porter: Well, then I know that the train's gone!
William Porter: Well, I can't give you the exact number at the moment.
William Porter: [pauses to think] But in rough figures I would say quite a lot.
William Porter: [going into danger, reassuringly] I'm behind yer.
Jeremiah Harbottle: Do you want to go in front?
William Porter: No, I can see all right from here.
