 * [she hangs the receiver on a lampshade]
 * Gary: Oh, right, thanks. No, no, I just dropped in to go into a few things - well, to check some of the measurements - do one or two odd jobs.

 * Gary: Oh, and a client: I'm showing a prospective tenant over the house.
 * Brooke: What's wrong with this door?
 * [Dotty begins looking under the sofa cushions for the plate]
 * Gary: She's thinking of renting it, her interest is definitely aroused!
 * Brooke: [bursting out of the bathroom] That's not the bedroom!
 * [Dotty looks behind the sofa]
