These are usually set in some muckity muck social function.

=======
Lady Astor: Sir Winston, you are drunk. You are very drunk.

Sir Winston: You, madame, are ugly. And I will be sober in the morning.

=======
Lady Astor: Sir Winston, if I were Clementine I would put poison in your brandy.

Sir Winston: If you were Clementine, I would drink it.
