Quote context

- I wonder if you realize what it really takes to be a great butler?

- Takes dignity. That's what it takes.

- Thank you, Mr. Stevens. Dignity, that's right. Dignity.

- This is the official definition as given in our quarterly 'The Gentlemen's Gentleman': 'A great butler must be possessed of dignity in keeping with his position.'

- There was this English butler in India. One day, he goes in the dining room and what he sees under the table? A tiger.

- Not turning a hair, he goes straight to the drawing room.

- 'Excuse me, My Lord.'

- And whispering, so as not to upset the ladies.

- 'I really sorry, My Lord. There appears to be a tiger in the dining room. Perhaps His Lordship will permit use of the twelve-bores?'

- They go on drinking their tea. And then, there's three gunshots.

- Well, they don't think nothing of it. This being in India, they're used to anything.
