POLICEMAN: Where do you think you are?
           On a race track?
           You must have been driving at seventy miles an hour.
GARY:      I can't have been.
POLICEMAN: I was doing eighty when I overtook you.
POLICEMAN: Didn't you see the speed limit?
GARY:      I'm afraid I didn't, officer.
           I must have been dreaming.
ANN:       He wasn't dreaming, officer.
           I was telling him to drive slowly.
GARY:      That's why I didn't see the sign.
POLICEMAN: Let me see your driving licence.
POLICEMAN: I won't charge you this time.
           But you'd better not do it again!
GARY:      Thank you.
           I'll certainly be more careful.
ANN:       I told you to drive slowly, Gary.
GARY:      You always tell me to drive slowly, darling.
ANN:       Well, next time you'd better take my advice!
