- [Walter has been beaten up by Billy because he owes him money, but he tells Gracie that he was mugged]
- Gracie: How could you have got yourself into a mess like this?
- Walter: Me? Look, I'm the victim here. Attacked from behind. It's getting rough round these parts. Where are you going?
- Gracie: Where do you think? You *have* been paying Doctor Lloyd every month?
- Walter: What do you think I am?
- [Elizabeth comes in]
- Elizabeth: Blood and sand!
- Walter: Oh, don't start, woman.
- Elizabeth: Oh, look at the state of that. You'll never get that clean. You're gonna lose that arm, I'm telling you now.
- Gracie: Keep it clean till I get back.
- Elizabeth: Gangrene. That'll be that. And if it gets hold, that's the end of him.
- Gracie: He won't get gangrene. He might well die of starvation, though.
- Walter: I'll be all right in a few days.
- Gracie: You'll be lucky if you're back to work next month. Look at the state of you.
- Elizabeth: If you don't end up deformed, I'll eat me hat.
