BROXOPP. Jack, are you serious about this?

JACK (surprised). Serious? Good Lord, yes.

BROXOPP (nervously). It’s a risk. What do you say, Nancy?

NANCY. I’m used to risks, dear.

JACK (excitedly). Of course it’s a risk. That’s what makes it such fun. By Jove, to be really doing something at last! Makes Hens Lay! A Poultry Farm in every back-garden! Eggs on every breakfast-table. Chillingham eggs!

IRIS. Chillingham and bacon for breakfast, Daddy Broxopp.

BROXOPP (shaking his head). It’s a risk. It will want a lot of capital. What do you say, Nancy?

NANCY. We’ve got a little left.

IRIS. There’s what you gave Jack. We can do it on that, can’t we?

JACK. Of course we can.
