"Do tell me where you bought your dress, Mrs. Mason..."
Mrs. Mason was the wife of Mr. Mason, a builder from whom Vernon Dursley was hoping to get a big drill order. On July 31, 1992, the couple were dinner guests at the Dursley home. Their evening was nearly ruined when the dessert Petunia Dursley had made crashed to the floor (an incident blamed on Harry Potter though it was Dobby's fault). The evening could have been rescued were it not for the barn owl that flew through the open window to deliver a letter of warning of a breach of the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery for Harry. The owl dropped the letter on Mrs. Mason's head, and due to her extreme fear of birds she “screamed like a banshee” and ran from the house, followed quickly by her husband.
In a deleted scene, when Petunia Dursley says to Mrs. Mason that she had a nice dress, she says that all her dresses were tailor-made. This was her only line in the film, but was cut from the theatre version.
