[Angrily.] Well, I wouldn't put on so much side if I was you.
Basil
I observe that you have not acquired the useful art of being uncivil without being impertinent.
James
Look 'ere, I'm not going to stand this. I'm as good as you are any day.
Basil
That is a fact I should never dream of contradicting.
James
[Indignantly.] Then what 'ave you got to turn up your nose about, eh? What d'you mean by sneerin' and snarlin' at me when I come here?
Jenny
[Nervously.] Jimmie, don't!
Basil
[With a smile.] You're very eloquent, James. You should join a debating society.
James
Yes, go on. That's right. You seem to think I'm nobody. I should just like to know why you go on as if I was I don't know what.
Basil
[Abruptly.] Because I choose.
James
You can bet anything you like I don't come 'ere to see you.
Basil
[Smiling acidly.] Then I have at least something to be thankful for.
James
I've got a right to come here as much as anybody. I come to see my sister.
Basil
Really, that's very thoughtful of you. I was under the impression you generally came to borrow money.
James
Throw that in my face now. I can't 'elp it if I'm out of work.
Basil
Oh, I haven't the least objection to your being out of work. All I protest against – and that very mildly – is that I should be expected to keep you. How much did you want to-day?
James
I don't want your dirty money.
Basil
[With a laugh.] Have you already tried to borrow it from Jenny?
James
No, I 'aven't.
Basil
And she refused, I suppose.
James
[Storming.] I tell you I don't want your dirty money.
Basil
Well, then, we're both quite satisfied. You seemed to think that because I married Jenny I was bound to keep the whole gang of you for the rest of your lives. I'm sorry I can't afford it. And you will kindly tell the rest of them that I'm sick and tired of forking out.
James
I wonder you don't forbid me your house while you're about it.
Basil
[Coolly.] You may come here when I'm not at home – if you behave yourself.
James
I'm not good enough for you, I suppose?
Basil
No, you're not.
James
