Dialogue edit

Sir Gerald: Dobbs, you're... you're downright Victorian. We must have cocktails, Dobbs, cocktails!
Dobbs: N-not cocktails, sir!
Sir Gerald: Yes. Now don't tell me that it isn't British. You're deplorably behind the times. I drink 'em myself. What's more, I can mix 'em. Mix is the word.
Dobbs: They tell me they even put ice in them in America.
Sir Gerald: Yes, well, I don't think we'll go quite that far.
