Alex: But it's Bacon O'Clock
Amy: So it's bacon o'clock....
Alex: It was due to arrive at a quarter to five and it's Bacon O'Clock
Amy: And they're probably already down the block. Will you trust me? Will you trust me?
Alex: But we have to prepare!
Amy: Have a beaker of beer and stop worrying, dear
Chorus: Ba-con-Rolls!

NO? Just me with the warped mind then....
