Harry Wilson : I'm sorry, Diane. But, I kinda put George on the spot. You see, his tailcoat really isn't my tailcoat, it's his tailcoat.
George : No, it's not really my tailcoat, it's Edgar's tailcoat.
Edgar : It's not really my tailcoat. It's Luther's tailcoat. No, no, it's not Luther's tailcoat, it's Mr. Orman's tailcoat and he's in the hospital.

Diane : Just a minute, I think it's better if nobody explains anything to anybody.
