Dodo is the main character of the short film, she speaks in an old-style "BBC" or "royal" accent, very refined, one could say. Preferably able to express cartoonish emotion; character slowly goes insane throughout the film.

  • Pray do forgive my asking, my friend, but you wouldn’t happen to have any teabags, would you?

  • (attempting to stay calm) It’s okay, Dodo, it’s fine, really. It’s just a shortage, you shall survive.
