• [on the train to Hull] 

  Reynolds : Are you travelling to Hull?

  Sally Brown : Yes.

  Reynolds : Going back home?

  Sally Brown : Just for the weekend. How did you guess?

  Reynolds : Experience... plus instinct. People from Hull, they all have this mysterious northern mist behind their eyes.

  Sally Brown : You must be clever.

  Reynolds : Not really.

  Sally Brown : It takes a clever feller to talk rubbish like that.

  Reynolds : No, what it is, it's envy.

  Sally Brown : [ironically]  Fancy.

  Reynolds : I've lived in about a dozen places. You get to envy people who know where home is.

  Sally Brown : "Promised Land", they call it.
