- [James's landlady has disappeared with the first month's rent that he gave her, so Whirly and Rob suggest that he lodges with them. Their landlady, Mrs Munro, takes an instant fancy to James]
- Mrs. Munro: [seductively] If I am to have a new lodger, I will have to conduct an interview. Young man, in need. I'd like to say I don't bite, but often... I do!

- [When Whirly hands out leaflets calling for women's toilets in college, Professor Gunnell threatens to resign unless Whirly is expelled for insubordination. When Professor Legge, the Principal, calls his bluff, Gunnell is forced to withdraw his ultimatum. The toilets are built]
- Professor Quintin Gunnell: [menacingly] How you have pulled all this off, I'll never know. But you have made an enemy of me. Don't count on qualifying from this college - it'll be over my dead body.
- Whirly Tyson: [equally menacingly] If needs must.
