Wendy Playfair: Minnie Donovan

Quotes 

• Cass Parker : [on Joan]  I'm just glad she's gone, that's all.

  Minnie Donovan : And so say all of us, dear. Just hope her replacement is an improvement.

  Judy Bryant : With our luck it'll be Vinegar Tits.

  Bobbie Mitchell : Vinegar Tits? Who's that?

  Cass Parker : Oh jeez, Bobbie! She's real bad news. I met her at Barnhurst and I reckon she's just as a bad as our Miss...

  [they all stop as Joan enters the laundry] 

  Phyllis Hunt : Oh... Miss Ferguson... we were just talkin' about...

  Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : Yes, Hunt. I.. know what you were talking about.

  [she nervously looks at the women] 

  Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : I wont take up too much of your time, ladies. You will probably think that I've broken my side of the bargain. I have decided to withdraw my resignation. Now I realise that my methods have been wrong in the past, but I intend to change that, I don't expect you to believe me now but... if you'll just give me a chance, I'm sure we'll all benefit.

  [she leaves the women completely stunned] 

• Minnie Donovan : Judy... Judy... I think we've got trouble. I just went to get the spanner...

  Judy Bryant : And?

  Minnie Donovan : It's missing, and Sonia was working outside the library door.

  Judy Bryant : But I thought she was in the pound?

  Minnie Donovan : Not any more she's not. What are we going to do about it?

  Judy Bryant : Well...

  [she see's Stan walking up the hill towards them] 

  Judy Bryant : nothing at the moment... here comes Father Time.

  Bobbie Mitchell : Hey, Mr Dobson, you wanna push up the hill?

  Stan Dobson : Thank you, Bobbie. Most people think I'm over it already.

  Bobbie Mitchell : Is that supposed to be a joke or somethin'?

  Stan Dobson : No. I wish it were.
