| Felix | Did you have a good game, Gerry? |
| Gerry | Splendid, but I'm dead beat now. I've got to sit down and have a rest, a cigarette and a drink. |
| Felix | How long have you been playing? |
| Gerry | Only about 40 minutes, but I'm all in. |
| Felix | That's what I like about squash. You get more exercise in half an hour than you get in two hours from any other sport, and you enjoy yourself in the process. Of course I don't play myself now... |
| Gerry | I must be losing weight. I've played three times this week and I reckon I've sweated off a couple of pounds each time. |
| Felix | Yes, but how many beers do you have after the game? I always find I'm so thirsty after playing golf that I've got to drink two or three pints - and then I put on all the weight I lost during the round. |
| Gerry | I suupose you're right. My waistline isn't getting any better. I'm only kidding myself really. |
| Felix | Who did you play with? |
| Gerry | That chap Ted Sykes. And I managed to beat him for the first time. |
| Felix | Did you? You must be improving. They say he's good enough for the club second team. |
| Gerry | Do they? Perhaps there's a chance for me then. Have another beer on me. You haven't got to go yet, have you? |
| Felix | Well, I can't stay long. We're having dinner with some friends tonight, and Gertie will be wild if I'm late. Still, there's no need to rush; I'll have one more. |
| Gerry | Good! |
