A spot of the usual trouble - well, I come home about half-past eleven. We'd been having a couple of drinks, remember? I come home about half-past eleven, and, you know, I was feeling a bit tired, so, you know, I thought I'd go to bed, you know, take me clothes off, and so on.
Anyway, I got into bed, settled down, I was just about, you know, reading "The Swiss Family Robinson" and I got up to about page 483, second paragraph, when suddenly - 'bring bring, bring bring'.
So I picked up the 'phone, and you know who it was?
Bloody Betty Grable. Calling transatlantic, bloody Betty Grable - I said, 'look, Betty, what do you think you're doing, calling me up half-past eleven at night?' She said 'It's half-past two in the afternoon over here'. I said, 'I don't care what bloody time it is, there's no need to wake ME up'. She said, 'Peter, Peter - get on a plane, come dance with me, be mine tonight'.
'Be mine tomight' she said. I said, 'Look Betty, we've had our laughs, we've had our fun, but it's all over'. I said, 'Stop pestering me, get back to Harry James and his trumpet. Stop pestering ME' I said. I slammed the 'phone down and said 'Stop pestering me'.
