- Clint: I saw this video once yeah, they was all dressed up like Marie Antoinette, well they wore the wigs. Let them eat cock it was called.
- [Barry has been told that he has three minutes until he's interviewed - Barry is dreading it]
- Lilian: Oh let's face it Barry. Another 15 minutes wouldn't really have helped your chances.
- Monique: Yeah she's right
- [gesturing to herself]
- Monique: They're either looking for new ideas and fresh input
- [points at Barry]
- Monique: or the devil they know.
- Annie: I've lost two people and I'm still able to smoke!
- Sally: You haven't lost two people. You've lost someone who just worked in the same building as you... and a rodent.
- Robin: [Annie bursts into slapstic tears] Oh her bunny rabits dead.
- Len: What?
- [Looks up at the sky]
- Len: You piss-taking bastard!
- Lilian: When did it happen, sweetheart?
- Sally: [Annie mumbles something under her tears, Lilian looks at Sally, confused] Yesterday.
- Sally: [Annie mubles another thing, Lilian looks at Sally] It was hopping round her flat.
- Sally: [Annie mumbles another thing, Lilian looks at Sally] When it chewed through the televison cable.
- Sally: [Anne mumbles another thing, Lilian looks at Sally] Poor old Bright-Eyes was...
- [They both look over at a sobbing Annie who mimics someone being electricuted. She contiues crying, Len comforts her]
- Len: Bright-Eyes? Fucking burning - like fire!
- Sally: [talking about Annie] ? and if she has got the clap...
- Lilian: [gasps] Has she?
- Sally: Claims to... But then again she claimed to have met Ben Affleck in Safeways so... forget I mentioned it!
- Lilian: [after a long silence] Who'd she catch it off?
- Sally: I shouldn't say.
- Lilian: [Robin mouths something at Lilian. Whispering] Who?
- Robin: [after several failed attempts] Clint!
- Lilian: Never!
- Sally: Robin! Can't the poor girl have any privacy? As if the itching ain?t enough!
- Lilian: My uncle Colin took 12 months to die. Every day you'd say, "Please let this suffering come to an end." but no - just go steadily worse. No - I would wish that on anyone.
- [sucks on a her cigarette]
- Lilian: Couldn't book holidays! You went out gallivanting - people called you callous, it was a bloody nightmare!
- Robin: I'm up for euthanasia when it gets to that stage.
- Lilian: Oh, yeah! Bump them off! I mean you do it to an animal why not to your relatives?
- Robin: As long as they said that's what they wanted.
- Lilian: Even if they hadn't, sod them an injection! I mean they're none the wiser - it's a kindness!
- Sharon: [Robin has asked Sharon is she knows the theme tune to a program] Television's boring - a load of people you don't know chuntering away in the corner of the room!
- Robin: Am I ever gonna get this!
- [storms off]
- Sharon: I've no objection to you lot watching television if it helps you to relax and prepare for the next day, but I have a social life.
- Lilian: We never see you down the Nags!
- Sharon: I said a social life - not a drink problem.
- Sharon: Here's an interesting piece of information - the Eskimos have no word for snow.
- Robin: Sorry, Sharon, but you can't call them Eskimos now - they're Inuits.
- Sharon: They're imbeciles! No word for snow. They're surrounded by the stuff!
- Robin: They haven't just got one word for snow, they've got words for light snow, heavy snow...
- Sharon: Frozen snow?
- Robin: We've got a word for that - snow.
- Sharon: But that was my one piece of trivia for when conversations dry up.
- Robin: Still wrong.
- Lilian: [talking about the building being vandalised] Poor Tess is shaken up. It's brought back all that nastiness with her neighbours over that high fence she built.
- Barry: It was 17 metres tall.
- Lilian: I know, but you know Tess - she's a very private individual. There were smashed windows then. A dog dirt daubed door. The side bin overturned.
- Heidi: Her own neighbours.
- Lilian: Yeah - but who can blame her? They were dragging her through court.
- Heidi: Keith's put me on a health kick. He says I lost my shape after Dane was born. I'm only allowed to eat meat.
- Annie: [talking about Sally making headline news in the local paper] I don't know why everyone's making such a fuss - she's not the only one to make the press.
- Sally: What were you in? Readers' Wives?
- Annie: Yes. I've got no qualms about it. So what if I wasn't actually his wife? Although I was ashamed to be seen on that rug. Fake bearskin? Looked like someone had murdered Bungle.
- Janet: Perhaps Noel isn't the most dynamic man in the world. And perhaps he is quite inhibited sexually. And perhaps our married life won't be a thrilling, torrid sequence of "I love you", "I hate you", "I need you", "I can't bear you". And perhaps while I wanted a Heathcliff to my Cathy I've found a Ken Barlow to my Deirdre.
- Lilian: Years ago, if you were gay, your only options were the clergy or suicide. Or presenting a gameshow.
