• Ted Spencer : [looking at a menu]  Now, Steve, setting aside the steak for a moment, we have here before us oysters, caviar, smoked salmon, fried, grilled or boiled sole...

  Stevie : I'll have a...

  Ted Spencer : Roast saddle of mutton, Kentish chicken pudding, boiled silverside, roast sirloin, chopped steaks, grilled kidneys or roast duck?

  Mrs. Verloc : I think Stevie'd like a nice poached egg on toast and I'll have a mixed salad.

  Ted Spencer : Here, drink this. Poached egg here at Simpsons? Why, that's enough to make the roast beef turn in its gravy. Three bullocks roasted whole, and a cup of coffee.

• Stevie : Ted knows about all sorts of things. Gangsters and burglars and everything.

  Mrs. Verloc : How does he know?

  Stevie : He reads about them. He says gangsters are not nearly so frightening as you'd think. Some of them are quite ordinary looking, like you and me and Mr. Verloc. Perhaps he's right. After all, if gangsters look like gangsters, the police would soon get after them, wouldn't they, I mean?

• Stevie : Do you think Ted will come with us and sail it?

  Mrs. Verloc : He might if you ask him.

  Stevie : He's more likely to if you ask him.
