Quotes

Derek : Somebody has to do something about the element down here.
Lionel : *You* are the element down here.
Jean : No wonder you go around glued together. I'm surprised that any decent people have anything to do with you.
Alan : You do realize, I suppose, that socially speaking you've burned your bridges.
Lionel : I've never enjoyed a fire more. We're going now.
Jean : And just one more thing: if either of you set foot, let alone a tire' on the garden, I'll set the dogs on you.
Alan : I didn't know you had any dogs.
Jean : For you we'll get some.
[Jean and Lionel leave]
Alan : The manners of some people!

[last lines]
Mrs. Bale : Tea will be served in eleven minutes. I apologize for the delay, but I was telephoning Lol's mother.
Lionel : Mrs Bale!
Mrs. Bale : Just local gossip.
Lionel : The word is out, isn't it.
Jean : And I don't think the gang are going to be very popular with Lol's big brothers.
Lionel : No, we'd better stay in London for a bit. I think we might have started a range war. Oh, by the way, why did you say I was decorated in Korea? And, and what exactly is a KBM?
Jean : Kicked By Mule.
Lionel : ...Mule! Of course.
Jean : Well, you were!

[first lines]
Jean : Don't switch on the light. You'll wake the girls.
Lionel : All right, but don't turn that one. I can't see a thing now.
Jean : Just feel for the top stair with your foot.
Lionel : *You* feel for the top stair with your foot.
Jean : You're in the way.
Lionel : All right. Don't push me for goodness' sake. Aargh!
[sound of bumping down the stairs]
Jean : Oh! Lionel!
Lionel : I'm all right; that was the case.
Jean : You've woken Judy now.
Lionel : That could have been me down there, with both legs broken.
