Mike Perrivale:
[Mike is interviewing Mr Trimble who is in bed. His wife, Margaret, is by his side]
Are you afraid of dying?
Hugo Trimble:
Splendid! Everybody's got to die sometime. That is a universal question. No, no I'm not afraid of dying because it brings me nearer to my reward.
Mike Perrivale:
Your reward, Sir?
Hugo Trimble:
Yes, Mr Perrivale. A teacher's reward must be in the next world. Cos' it certainly can't be in this one.
Hugo Trimble:
[He kisses Margaret's hand; she sobs silently]
I'm not afraid of dying, Margaret. I'm sorry I am.
Hugo Trimble:
[to Mike]
If you never remember anything else I taught you. Remember, when you see a woman crying, the only thing a man can do is to kiss her.
Mike Perrivale:
Yes, sir.
Hugo's Doctor:
[the doctor enters]
I thought I told you... .
Hugo Trimble:
Get out of here!
Hugo's Doctor:
I said: "No visitors".
Hugo Trimble:
Look here, you told everybody I had 48 hours to live. Now, if you keep coming on in here and annoying me, I'm going to make a liar out of you and die right away!
Hugo's Doctor:
And you're just the man to do it.
Hugo Trimble:
Doctors! Take it from me, a doctor is nothing but a plumber in a white coat.
