The premise
Here’s the bit.
Seated at opposite ends of an enormous dining table, a wife tries to get her husband to hand over the marmalade. He keeps turning her words into bizarre requests and objections, forcing her to abandon the conversation and fetch it herself. Reading the newspaper soon gives them a chance to reverse their roles.
