Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Jean : [answers doorbell to find John holding two mannequins]  Oh.

  John : Mornin'.

  Jean : Morning, John. I don't see, uh...

  John : Well, you did say you'd look after them.

  Jean : Did I?

  John : Oh, yes. Um, would you mind? We don't want them catching cold.

  Jean : Course not.

  [John carries them into the hall] 

  Jean : Oh dear.

  John : Where to?

  Jean : Um. Well, uh... uh, well, in here I suppose.

  John : Where should we put them? On the floor?

  Jean : No, have a bit of respect; let's put them on the sofa. John, are you positive I said I'd look after them?

  John : That's what they said down the charity shop. "Good old Jean," that's what they said.

  Jean : Yes, I bet they did. Won't be for long, will it?

  John : Just till the refurbishing's finished. You know how strapped for space we are at the best of time.

  Jean : Had I had a glass of wine when I made this promise?

  John : Three.

  Jean : Oh. Serves me right then.

  John : Look on the bright side; they don't eat much, do they?

  [he leaves] 

  Jean : Bye.

  [to the mannequins] 

  Jean : You can laugh.
