Mrs. Tripp:
[Upon answering the door, Mrs. Tripp looks at Tom, before turning her gaze to Mr. Grimes]
[to Mr. Grimes]
Mrs. Tripp:
What a disgusting, filthy disgrace to humanity you are!
Mr. Grimes:
[looking puzzled and slurring]
I'm Crimes.
Mrs. Tripp:
You're drunk, sir.
Mr. Grimes:
Nevertheless, I'm Crimes
[cannot say Grimes as he is still drunk]
Masterman:
[giggles]
Mr. Grimes:
[looking at Masterman, then to Mrs. Tripp]
Well, does tha want the chimneys swept or does tha not want the chimneys swept?
Mrs. Tripp:
Mmm...
[nods head towards door]
Mrs. Tripp:
Come in.
[Towards Tom, who had begun to pick up Toby]
Mrs. Tripp:
And you can leave that thing outside for a start.
Masterman:
[grabbing Tobys lead]
Come here. Mr Grimes...
[passing Mr. Grimes his sweeps]
Masterman:
There's your bags.
Mrs. Tripp:
Now then. Listen to me, all of you. I've dust sheeted all the rooms where there's chimneys to be swept. You've brought plenty of soot bags, I see?
Mr. Grimes:
Yeah.
Mrs. Tripp:
Well use them! Because I warn you, one speck of soot in any of those rooms... and not a penny piece will you get from me.
Masterman:
[salutes to Mrs. Tripp]
Yes, Ma'am.
Mrs. Tripp:
Well come on, get on with it then!
