Anne Reid: Celia

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Alan : [at a quiet restaurant]  Have I said too much?

  Celia : No, no.

  Alan : Have I upset you?

  Celia : Well, it's a shock, I suppose.

  Alan : You won't tell anyone?

  Celia : [shaking her head]  No.

  Alan : Not even Caroline?

  Celia : I don't tell her everything.

• Alan : What you thinking?

  Celia : I thought you'd had such a calm, uncomplicated life compared to me with Kenneth. I'm sorry you haven't.

  Alan : Yeah, and I've embroiled you in it now. Is that what you're thinking?

  Celia : No. No. I'm glad you can tell me things. Somebody with a good heart like you shouldn't have skeletons in their cupboard.

  Alan : Ah, it does still bother me. He were an alcoholic, more or less, he were handy with his fists, but he'd grown up in care. So I imagine it weren't entirely his fault that he turned out like he did.

  Celia : Happen he'd have died anyway.

  Alan : [sighs]  Yeah.

  Celia : Or had brain damage. Perhaps she did him a favour.

  Alan : If it was suicide.

  Celia : Was there still more to it than you've said.

  Alan : [shaking his head]  No, no, only that.

  Celia : Right, well, if that's what the coroner said.

• Celia : [to Judith]  So you're her, are you? You're the whore.

  Lawrence : Woah! Granny!
