    The Punter is sitting quietly searching
    Autotrader for an affordable family car, when salesman Lee flits
    across his field of vision standing on a sort of dog and holding a
    sign "I BE LEE".




    Lee then passes in the opposite
    direction standing on a sort of pink panther and holding a sign "LEE
    I BE".




    PUNTER (putting his phone to silent in
    annoyance):
    That Lee-I-Be!
    That Lee-I-Be!
    I do not like
    that
    Lee-I-Be!

    LEE (presenting a brochure on a plate):

    Do you like
    the new MG?

    PUNTER:

    I do not like it,
    Lee-I-Be.
    I
    will not drive
    the new MG.

    LEE:

    Would you drive it

    Here or there?

    PUNTER:

    I would not drive it
    here or
    there.
    I would not drive it
    anywhere.
    I do not like
    the
    new MG.
    I do not like it,
    Lee-I-Be.



    LEE:
    Would you drive it
    by a
    house?

    by a
    house.

    with a mouse.

    LEE:
    Would
    you drive it
    into a box (junction having first ascertained that
    your exit road or lane is clear)?
    Would you drive it
    with a
    fox?



    PUNTER:

    having first ascertained that my exit road or lane is clear).

    Here the keys are.



    PUNTER:
    I would not ,
    could
    not,
    drive the car.



    LEE:
    You may like it.
    You will
    see.
    But do not drive into a tree!




    PUNTER:

    dark!

    PUNTER:

    in
    the dark.


    I expect the headlights are Lucas,

    for a start.



    LEE:
    Would you, could you,
    in the
    rain?



    PUNTER:
    I would not, could not, in
    the rain. Even though the windscreen wipers fall easily to hand on
    the quality steering column stalk.
    Not in the dark. Not on a
    train.
    Not drive the car. Not into a tree.

    Lee-I-Be.



    LEE:

    say.
    Try it! Try it!
    And you may.
    Try it and you may I say.

    drive it with a goat...
    And I will drive it in the rain.
    And in
    the dark. And on a train.
    And drive the car, not into a tree.
    It
    is so good, so good, you see!

    So I will drive it into a box.
    (junction having first ascertained that my exit road or lane is
    clear).
    And I will drive it with a fox.
    And I will drive it by
    a house.
    And I will drive it with a mouse.
    And I will drive it
    here and there.
    Say! I will drive it ANYWHERE!

    I do so
    like
    the new MG!
    Thank you!
    Thank you,
    Lee-I-Be!
