I always read it as Sam and Ella after an Only Fools and Horses episode. In a broad Saaarf London accent it is pretty much interchangeable.

In the same episode Del tells Uncle Arthur that he has to go into hospital.
"I know you don't want to have an operation, nobody wants to have an operation, but everyone at some time in their lives has to have one. And today it's your turn" which made perfect sense to me as a child.

If I haven't worked out how to only show a certain part I'm sorry.
Feel free to forward to 8.30 for the clip I intended you to see.
ETA - nope, whole (part) of the episode.
Can anyone help me with this?

(Don't worry, he doesn't have to have one. He doesn't even have Sam and Ella.)

So, they ordered a Bloody Mary.

I love those!

I would suggest you wash her right out of your hair.

Sam, you're being lame. I, on the other hand, am a nonsmoker of any substance.

Get over it? Not on your life, Sam. I have values and get grief from people who don't.

Don't trust statism. It'll fuck ya. And no kisses.

No, Pete. A bit will, though.

Unless of course mine spreads to you.

That's what's known as oral transmission.

Here's another transmission: Sam thinks corporations have to be evil and unethical to survive well enough to profit. I know better than that. Sam is old enough to -- and I am not so frightfully much older than SamIam.

Geez, UG, you're older than dirt!

And stop twisting my words. I wrote "Corporations care about the bottom line. Period." I feel that corporations could probably make profits just fine even if they were run with some integrity. Unfortunately, integrity is a quality that all too often seems to be shed at the boardroom door. If you don't think most CEO's worship profits to the exclusion of anything else, you must be entering your second childhood, in addition to being slightly older than me.

Keep your hands to yourself. I don't swing that way.

We must have different ideas about what wisdom means.

Subtle strawman.

It isn't about "making profit". It is about maximising profit. And very often - but not always - the most effective way to do that involves screwing the workers, the competition, the customers, the general public, the IRS, etc, it ways that are indeed unethical.
