Hyacinth : [in reference to Daisy's and Onslow's house] How can a place look like this 50 years after the blitz?

[first lines]
Hyacinth : Postman!
The Postman : Ah!
[he jumps, trapping his hand in the letterbox, but works it free]
Hyacinth : I hope that's a first class stamp. I object to having second class stamps thrust through my letterbox. I should have thought postmen would be trained to recognize first class stamp houses.
The Postman : It's not the post office puts the stamps on; it's the senders.
Hyacinth : Oh, yes, of course, blame the public. Would you please inform your supervisor that in future I want my stamps adjusted upwards!

Hyacinth : [on the telephone with Daisy] Daddy's gone naturist! Well, I think that's *wonderful* at his age. Yes, all that wholesome healthy food, plenty of roughage. Mmm.
Hyacinth : Onslow's trying to get Daddy down from where?
Hyacinth : Well, why would Daddy be up there?
Hyacinth : Oh, he's not that kind of naturist. Well, what kind of naturist is he?
Hyacinth : A *stark* naturist!
