Now what did I come upstairs for? Of course I haven’t forgotten your name, young lady, it’s just that I can’t remember it Why am I going upstairs? I only just got up No dear, you’re wrong, I always pay on account Where’s my bed? Isn’t this upstairs? Take the paper back to the newsagent, someone’s already done the crossword Of course I’m undressed, I just came upstairs Of course you can sign my name dear, they know me at the post office Why is it so dark downstairs, I’ve only just got up Why should I give you money for the gas, Young man? I don’t even know you I’m sure there are more stairs than there used to be Stop being so insulting, young man, it’s only money No of course I don’t need help with the stairs, I know my own house No dear, you sign for it, I’m sure your boss will understand Somebody changed the stairs when I was out, they aren’t the same Why are people so rude about money these days? Ask my father to speak to that young man The stairs are steeper than they were, somebody’s changed them Who are you, I didn’t ask you to come in… Of course it’s my house, it’s just that you changed the stairs Tell the bank manager to come and see me in the morning. Why does that man upstairs move the stairs at night?
