Brenda
- Arthur Seaton: Pour us some more tea duck, it's thirsty work falling down stairs.
- Brenda: Two ain't it.
- Arthur Seaton: You're good to me Brenda, love, and don't think I don't appreciate it.
- Arthur Seaton: What's the matter with you tonight?
- Brenda: I'll tell you what's the matter with me Arthur, I'm pregnant, good and proper this time - and it's your fault.
- Arthur Seaton: Oh aye, it's bound to be my fault isn't it.
- Brenda: Well of course it is, you never take care, you just don't bother, always said this would happen one day.
- Arthur Seaton: What a wonderful Friday night.
- Brenda: Of all the liars, you're the biggest I've ever known.
- Arthur Seaton: I always was a liar, a good 'un and all.
- Brenda: Liars don't prosper.
- Brenda: Hey Arthur, what a time we had last night.
- Arthur Seaton: It seems years... aye you're lovely Brenda.
- Brenda: Yes, yes it's yours right enough. Haven't done aught like that with Jack for a couple of months or more - and I don't want to have it I can tell you that now!
- Arthur Seaton: Have you tried aught, took aught I mean.
- Brenda: Yes, some pills, they didn't work. 30 bob they cost me too, gone right down the drain.
- Arthur Seaton: God almighty.
- Brenda: He won't help you.
- Brenda: What do you think having a kid means? You're doped and sick for 9 months, your clothes don't fit, nobody will look at you. One day you're yelling out and you've got a kid. That's not so bad but you've got to look after it for the rest of its life. You want to try it sometime.
- Arthur Seaton: Well if that's how you feel.
- Brenda: How do you expect me to feel?
- Brenda: Having a good time?
- Arthur Seaton: Not bad, I'm with some pals from work, had to come out or I'd go crackers, I've been worrying about you all week.
- Brenda: Well you can stop worrying.
- Arthur Seaton: Is it all right then, did you see that doctor?
- Arthur Seaton: Oh yeah, I went, I didn't stay.
- Arthur Seaton: What?
- Brenda: I've decided to have it and face whatever comes of it.
- Aunt Ada: It ain't right is it, I think men get away with murder.
- Brenda: They do, don't they.
- Arthur Seaton: I don't know that much.
- Aunt Ada: Don't be such a big 'ead - and get cracking so as I can talk to her. What's your name duck?
- Brenda: Brenda.
- Brenda: Been 'ere long?
- Arthur Seaton: 10 minutes, I was just looking at the lovely view.
- Brenda: Better come down to earth then, adn't you?
- Arthur Seaton: How did you go on at Aunt Ada's, it go off all right?
- Brenda: No it didn't, was just one of them old wive's tricks, she made me sit in a hot bath for 3 hours, had to drink a pint of gin. I'll never go through that again, it was terrible, I thought I was gonna die. And it didn't work.
- Brenda: Somebody told me the other day they'd seen you coming out of the pictures with a young girl.
- Arthur Seaton: It's a bloody lie then.
- Brenda: Do you think I'm daft Arthur? I can tell you don't go as much on me as you used to .
- Arthur Seaton: That isn't true Brenda, you know I like you a lot.
- Brenda: I know you do, you can see it a mile off.
- Arthur Seaton: Not my fault if you don't believe me, is it?
- Brenda: You know the trouble with you, you don't know the difference between right and wrong, and I don't think you ever will.
- Arthur Seaton: Maybe I won't, but I don't want anybody to teach me either.
- Brenda: You'll learn one day.
- Arthur Seaton: We'll see, but it's now that matters isn't it, we've still got to clear this mess up.
