Jean : What made you think of the little rosewood pencil box?
Lionel : Just came to me. You?
Jean : Yes, the same. You bought it for me in an antique shop in... where?
Lionel : Chalfont St Giles. Near the camp.
Jean : That's right. If I was off duty at the hospital and you had a thirty-six hour pass, I used to come up by train.
Lionel : Funny thing to buy a girl you were in love with.
Jean : Were you?
Lionel : You know damn well I was. I must have been; three and six that pencil box cost.
Jean : I've still got it.
Lionel : Have you?
Jean : Must be worth millions now.
Lionel : At least.

Lionel : Maybe we're the ghosts.
Jean : Maybe we are.

Taxi Driver : Four fifty, love. Sorry about the hold-up. Students seem to do more demonstrating than studying these days.
Jean : Well at least they care.
Taxi Driver : Oh yes, they care for the whole world; every bit of it except their own bit. What about their own people? There are old people like you and me sleeping rough. They don't care about them, do they?
Jean : Keep the change.
