- Lou Beale: Why d'ya want to bring more children into the world while you can't manage the ones you got? I can't think.
- Pauline Fowler: I'll, er, make us a nice cup of tea, shall I?
- Lou Beale: No thank you.
- Pauline Fowler: Please don't let's have an atmosphere. We've all got to live in the same house. At least let's be friendly. Arthur's still at the pub.
- Lou Beale: Is he?
- Pauline Fowler: Yeah. He wants to tell Pete and Kathy about the baby, we'd like them to know.
- Lou Beale: I see.
- Pauline Fowler: Look mum, why can't you just accept what's happened and be glad for us, eh? Ya know, you really upset Arthur today, he can't take that sort of aggro.
- Lou Beale: We one thing I will say for Pete and Kathy, at least they got a bi' of sense.
- Pauline Fowler: Yes well I wouldn't have dreamt of having an only child like they've got, and neither would you either in your day.
- Lou Beale: And as a result, look at 'em. Nice flat, smart clothes, TV with corners, gadgets everywhere.
- Pauline Fowler: Yeah well I'd rather 'ave a baby than things anyday!
