Scene: the lounge of a suburban semi. Betty tells her husband's sister how he has been driving her mad ever since they married because he is obsessed with railways. When he comes in and starts pretending that the house is a railway station and he a guard we wonder how she has stuck it all these years. Doreen discovers that Fred hates railways but believes that Betty loves them. When he realises what a mistake he's been making all these years, he asks pathetically, "What are going to find to talk about?"
