- Ellen Frisby: Everything alright?
- Joe Frisby: Oh yes! The council's rodent operatives are on their honeymoon. They married each other.
- Ellen Frisby: Is one a lady?
- Joe Frisby: I sincerely hope so.
- Mr. Love: I have been many things, and one was a rat-catcher. A Very good rat-catcher. Once I held the national record - 32 males, 14 females and six nests, in one week. I can show you a letter of appreciation from the Officer of Health, in Halifax.
- Mrs. Tanner: I don't want to see anything, except the £8 10 and 3 that you owe me, and you're not getting tuppence out of me so just awa' ye go.
- Ellen Frisby: Mr Love sounds happy. I wonder if he'd like a cup of tea.
- Joe Frisby: He didn't get a nose like that from drinking tea.
- Sergeant Malcolm: Mr Frisby, if I pay you the compliment of thinking you're an intelligent man, will you do the same for me?
