The Wrong Box (1966)

Morris Finsbury: I was wondering - do you by any chance happen to have any - uh - death certificates?
Doctor Pratt: Do I happen to have any death certificates? What a monstrous thing, sir - what a monstrous thing to say to a member of the medical profession! Do you realize the enormity of what you have just said?
Morris Finsbury: Yes. Do you have any death certificates?
Doctor Pratt: How many do you want?

Doctor Pratt: Well, it'll cost you five shillings.
Morris Finsbury: Price is no object.
Doctor Pratt: Right. Ten shillings, then. Payable in advance.
