[It's up to the first poster to come up with a set up, and then each following post will either complete it or fill in the blank(s). And, as always, whoever posts the set up is certainly allowed to post their own completion/fill in as a follow up.]

Setup:

Josette: The Collinwood servants tell the Old House servants everything, Catherine, and my maid tells it all to me.  In particular, I hear that every morning at breakfast you and Julia...

Josette: The Collinwood servants tell the Old House servants everything, Catherine, and my maid tells it all to me.  In particular, I hear that every morning at breakfast you and Julia throw rotten eggs at any of the servants who might have angered you the day before!!

[Uncle Roger]

Want the caretaker to bring you buttered buns

[Mysterious Benefactor]

   The ways that could be interpreted!!     

[Uncle Roger]

I borrowed that from Raquel Welch in Bedazzled.

[Mysterious Benefactor]

(  Really? Even though the original Bedazzled is one of my favorites, I don't remember that line.

I'll never forget the first time I saw the film - as someone who attended Catholic Grammar School, I couldn't stop laughing over how they shot the nuns bouncing on the trampoline!!  )

 

[Uncle Roger]

It was one of the high points of Raquel's early career, as the personification of Lust. Or, more precisely, Lillian Lust, the babe with the bust. She reduced poor Stanley Moon to speechlessness, when she entered with a breakfast tray and inquired if he would like hot toast or buttered buns.

And remember the magic words: Julie Andrews!

[Mysterious Benefactor]

(  Well, THAT I couldn't possibly forget. Though clearly I need to watch the film again to have forgotten the buttered buns bit. And thankfully I own the DVD...)

 

[Uncle Roger]

And, of course, Lust and Gluttony need to be located near the bathroom. 

[Mysterious Benefactor]

(  But of course!!  )

 

[Uncle Roger]

I wish that Peter Cook and Dudley Moore had done more films together. 

[Mysterious Benefactor]

(  I do too.  )

 

[Uncle Roger]

Dudley had more commercial success in films but I thought that they worked better as a team.

[MagnusTrask]

Peter Cook was one of the comedy gods of all time.  His humor doesn't get old, because he invented that comedy "attitude" that dominated later...
