    this is my fav part:
    Mr Vibrating: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
    Man: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
    Mr Vibrating: Yes it is!
    Man: No it isn't!
    Man: Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes.
    (short pause)
    Mr Vibrating: No it isn't.

    Receptionist: Yes, sir?
    Man: I'd like to have an argument, please.
    Receptionist: Certainly sir. Have you been here before?
    Man: No, I haven't, this is my first time.
    Receptionist: I see. Well, do you want to have just one argument, or were you thinking of taking a course?
    Man: Well, what is the cost?
    Receptionist: Well, It's one pound for a five minute argument, but only eight pounds for a course of ten.
    Man: Well, I think it would be best if I perhaps started off with just the one and then see how it goes.
    Receptionist: Fine. Well, I'll see who's free at the moment.
    Receptionist: Mr. DeBakey's free, but he's a little bit conciliatory. Ahh yes, Try Mr. Barnard; room 12.
    Man: Thank you.

    (Walks down the hall. Opens door.)
    getpicturephp?id206861

    Mr Barnard: WHAT DO YOU WANT?
    Man: Well, I was told outside that...
    Mr Barnard: Don't give me that, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings!
    Man: What?

    Mr Barnard: Shut your festering gob, you tit! Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, coffee-nosed, maloderous, pervert!!!
    Man: Look, I CAME HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT, I'm not going to just stand...!!
    Mr Barnard: OH, oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse.
    Man: Oh, I see, well, that explains it.
    Mr Barnard: Ah yes, you want room 12A, Just along the corridor.

    getpicturephp?id206864

    Man: Oh, Thank you very much. Sorry.
    Mr Barnard: Not at all.
    Man: Thank you.
    Mr Barnard: (Under his breath) Stupid git!!

    (Man walks down the corridor)
    Man: (Knock)
    Mr Vibrating: Come in.
    getpicturephp?id206866

    Man: Ah, Is this the right room for an argument?
    Mr Vibrating: I told you once.
    Man: No you haven't.
    Mr Vibrating: Yes I have.
    Man: When?
    Mr Vibrating: Just now.
    Man: No you didn't.
    Mr Vibrating: Yes I did.
    Man: You didn't
    Mr Vibrating: I did!
    Man: You didn't!
    Mr Vibrating: I'm telling you I did!
    Man: You did not!!
    Mr Vibrating: Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?
    Man: Oh, just the five minutes.
    Mr Vibrating: Ah, thank you. Anyway, I did.
    Man: You most certainly did not.
    Mr Vibrating: Look, let's get this thing clear; I quite definitely told you.
    Man: No you did not.
    Mr Vibrating: Yes I did.
    Man: No you didn't.
    Mr Vibrating: Yes I did.
    getpicturephp?id206867

    Man: No you didn't.
    Mr Vibrating: Yes I did.
    Man: No you didn't.
    Mr Vibrating: Yes I did.
    Man: You didn't.
    Mr Vibrating: Did.
    Man: Oh look, this isn't an argument.
    Mr Vibrating: Yes it is.
    Man: No it isn't. It's just contradiction.
    Mr Vibrating: No it isn't.
    Man: It is!
    Mr Vibrating: It is not.

    Man: Look, you just contradicted me.
    Mr Vibrating: I did not.
    Man: Oh you did!!
    Mr Vibrating: No, no, no.
    Man: You did just then.
    Mr Vibrating: Nonsense!
    Man: Oh, this is futile!
    Mr Vibrating: No it isn't.
    Man: I came here for a good argument.
    Mr Vibrating: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
    Man: An argument isn't just contradiction.
    Mr Vibrating: It can be.
    Man: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
    Mr Vibrating: No it isn't.
    Man: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
    Mr Vibrating: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
    Man: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
    Mr Vibrating: Yes it is!
    Man: No it isn't!
    Man: Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes.
    (short pause)
    Mr Vibrating: No it isn't.
    Man: It is.
    Mr Vibrating: Not at all.
    Man: Now look.
    Mr Vibrating: (Rings bell) Good Morning.
    Man: What?
    Mr Vibrating: That's it. Good morning.
    getpicturephp?id206870

    Man: I was just getting interested.
    Mr Vibrating: Sorry, the five minutes is up.
    Man: That was never five minutes!
    Mr Vibrating: I'm afraid it was.
    Man: It wasn't.
    (Pause)
    Mr Vibrating: I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to argue anymore.
    Man: What?!
    Mr Vibrating: If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes.
    Man: Yes, but that was never five minutes, just now. Oh come on!
    Mr Vibrating: (Hums)
    Man: Look, this is ridiculous.
    Mr Vibrating: I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid!
    Man: Oh, all right.

    (pays money)
    Mr Vibrating: Thank you. (short pause)
    Man: Well?
    Mr Vibrating: Well what?
    Man: That wasn't really five minutes, just now.
    getpicturephp?id206872
    Mr Vibrating: I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid.
    Man: I just paid!
    Mr Vibrating: No you didn't.
    getpicturephp?id206874
    Man: I DID!
    Mr Vibrating: No you didn't.
    Man: Look, I don't want to argue about that.
    Mr Vibrating: Well, you didn't pay.

    Man: Aha. If I didn't pay, why are you arguing? I got you!
    Mr Vibrating: No you haven't.
    Man: Yes I have. If you're arguing, I must have paid.
    getpicturephp?id206876
    Mr Vibrating: Not necessarily. I could be arguing in my spare time.
    Man: Oh I've had enough of this.
    Mr Vibrating: No you haven't.
    Man: Oh Shut up.
    getpicturephp?id206877
    (Man walks down the stairs. Opens door.)
    Man: I want to complain.
    Complainer: You want to complain! Look at these shoes. I've only had them three weeks and the heels are worn right through.

    Man: No, I want to complain about...
    Complainer: If you complain nothing happens, you might as well not bother.
    Man: Oh!
    Complainer: Oh my back hurts, it's not a very fine day and I'm sick and tired of this office.

    (Man slams door. walks down corridor, opens next door.)

    Man: Hello, I want to... (Spreaders hits man on the head) Ooooh!
    Spreaders: No, no, no. Hold your head like this, then go Waaah. Try it again. (He hits him again.)

    Spreaders: Good, Good! That's it.
    Man: Stop hitting me!!
    Spreaders: What?
    Man: Stop hitting me!!
    Spreaders: Stop hitting you?
    Man: Yes!
    Spreaders: Why did you come in here then?
    Man: I wanted to complain.
    Spreaders: Oh no, that's next door. It's being-hit-on-the-head lessons in here.
    Man: What a stupid concept.

    Detective Inspector Fox enters.
    Fox: Right. Hold it there.
    Man and Spreaders: What?
    Fox: Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Inspector Fox of the Light Entertainment Police, Comedy Division, Special Flying Squad.
    Man and Spreaders: Flying Fox of the Yard?
    Fox: Shut up! (He hits the Man with a truncheon.)
    Man: Ooooh!
    Spreaders: No, no, no! 'Waagh'!
    getpicturephp?id206882
    Fox: And you! (He hits Spreaders)
    Spreaders: Waagh!
    Fox: He's good! You could learn a thing or two from him. Right, now you two me old beauties, you are nicked.
    Man: What for?
    Fox: I'm charging you two under Section 21 of the Strange Sketch Act.
    Man: The what?
    Fox: You are hereby charged that you did wilfully take part in a strange sketch, that is, a skit, spoof or humorous vignette of an unconventional nature with intent to cause grievous mental confusion to the Great British Public.(to camera) Evening all.
    Spreaders: It's a fair cop.
    Fox: And you tosh. (He hits Man)
    Man: WAAAGH!
    Fox: That's excellent! Right, come on down the Yard.

    Another Inspector arrives.
    Inspector: Hold it. Hold it. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Inspector Thompson's Gazelle of the Programme Planning Police, Light Entertainment Division, Special Flying Squad.
    Fox: Flying Thompson's Gazelle of the Yard?

    getpicturephp?id206884

    Inspector: Shut up! (hits him)
    Fox: Waaagh!
    Spreaders: He's good.
    Inspector: Shut up! (hits Spreaders)
    Spreaders: Oooh!
    Man: Rotten. (he gets hit) WAAGH!
    Inspector: Good! Now, I'm arresting this entire show on three counts: one, acts of self-conscious behavior contrary to the 'Not in front of the children' Act; two, always saying 'It's so and so of the Yard' every time the fuzz arrives; and three, and this is the cruncher, offenses against the 'Getting out of sketches without using a proper punchline' Act; four, namely, simply ending every bleeding sketch by just having a policeman come in and... wait a minute.

    Another policeman enters.
