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.
