• Myrtle Bagot : [smacks her on the backside]  Albert Godby, how dare you!

  Albert Godby : I couldn't resist it!

  Myrtle Bagot : Oh, well, trouble you for keeping your hands to yourself!

  Albert Godby : Oh, you blushing - oh, you look wonderful when you're angry... just like an avenging angel.

  Myrtle Bagot : I'll give you avenging angel!... Coming in here taking liberties!

  Albert Godby : I thought last Monday, you said you wouldn't object to a friendly little slap.

  Myrtle Bagot : Never mind about last Monday... I'm on duty now. And I should think to what would happen if Mr. Saunders should be looking through the window.

  Albert Godby : Well, if Mr. Saunders happens to be looking through the window its about time he saw something worth looking at.

  Myrtle Bagot : You ought to be ashamed of yourself!

  Albert Godby : Oh, it's high spirit... don't be mad at me.

  Myrtle Bagot : "High spirit" - indeed. Take your tea and be quiet.

  Albert Godby : It's all your fault really.

  Myrtle Bagot : I don't know to what your referring!

  Albert Godby : ...I was thinking about tonight?

  Myrtle Bagot : If you don't learn to behave yourself - there won't be a tonight. Or any other night either.

  Albert Godby : Give us a kiss.

  Myrtle Bagot : I'll do no such thing, the lady might see us!

  Albert Godby : Come on a quick one across the counter!

  Myrtle Bagot : Albert, stop it!

  Albert Godby : [takes hold of her arms]  Come on!

  Myrtle Bagot : Let go of me, this minute Albert!

  [he knocks over a plate of something] 

  Myrtle Bagot : ...now look at me bamberys all over the floor!

  Bill, First Soldier : [Bill walks in]  Just in time - or born in the vestry.

  Myrtle Bagot : You shut your mouth - and help Mr. Godby pick up 'em cakes! Come along now! What are you standing there gaping at?

• Myrtle Bagot : I'm sorry, my license does not permit me to serve alcohol out of hours, that's final. You wouldn't want to get me in trouble, would you?

  Bill, First Soldier : Just give us that chance, lady. That's all we ask. Just give us the chance.

• Myrtle Bagot : Beryl, ask Mr. Godby to come here for a moment, will you?

  Beryl Walters, Tea Room Assistant : Yes, Mrs. Bagot.

  Bill, First Soldier : And who's he waiting to come?

  Myrtle Bagot : You'll soon see! Coming here, cheeking me!

  Johnnie, Second Soldier : Come on, here, mother, be a pal.

  Myrtle Bagot : I'll give you mother! You saucy upstart!

  Bill, First Soldier : Who you callin' an upstart?

  Myrtle Bagot : You! And I'll trouble you get out of here double quick! Disturbing the customers and making a nuisance of yourselves.

  Johnnie, Second Soldier : Hey, where's the fire? Where's the fire?

• Albert Godby : Hop it, both of you.

  Bill, First Soldier : We've got a right to stay here as long as we like.

  Albert Godby : You 'eard what I said. Hop it!

  Johnnie, Second Soldier : Now, look here, what is this? A free country or a bloomin' Sunday school?

  Albert Godby : I checked you once at the gate. Your train's due in one minute, number two platform. Hop it!
