In The Control Room

Supervisor-No.106 "It's my birthday today."
Number 2 "What do you want me to do, bake you a cake?"
"Mmmm, that would be nice."
"Do I look like the cook?"
"Mrs Butterworth would have baked me a cake."
"Who is Mrs Butterworth?"
"Number Two."
"But I'm Number Two."
"For the moment!"
"Look, just why are you here?"
"I have friends in high places!"
"The Colonel?"
"George!"
"George?"
"The script Editor George Markstein, and I've worked with Patrick on several episodes of 'Danger Man!"
"What about Peter Swanwick?"
"Well let's just say he's on leave shall we."
"What sort of birthday cake would you like?"
"A cherry cake would be good, with forty-two candles."
"What! You don't want to start a fire!"
"I could always have a word with George."
"And I can always talk to Number One!"
"Number One, who's that?"
"Who do you think?"
