Quotes 

• Vera Bennett : Oh, not even a touch of bitterness?

  Jeanette 'Mum' Brooks : Bitterness is soul-destroying, as you well know.

• Doreen Burns : Looks like you got a real admirer there, Miss Bennett. Pity he's short sighted!

  Judy Bryant : Yeah, you'd better grab him before he gets glasses!

  [Doreen laughs] 

  Terry Harrison : Alight! That's enough. If you're all testing my hearing I can assure you my eyesight is just as good.

  [he joins Vera by the door] 

  Vera Bennett : That sort of familiarity only encourages them, Mr Harrison. I'm quite capable of standing up for myself. And I certainly don't take anything these animals say to heart.

  Terry Harrison : [admiringly]  Well, from where I'm standing they couldn't be further from the truth.

• Vera Bennett : With or without Smith it's time you realised that the only people you answer to are us. Now are you going to get your own meal, Gaffney, or do you want to starve?

  Margo Gaffney : Can't afford to starve when I've got a prison to run.

  Vera Bennett : The only thing you run is a pack of brainless lackeys.
