- Lucy Fitton: Some men never grow up, do they?
- Liz Piper: [softly sobbing]
- Jenny Fitton: What's up with you, Mum?
- Lucy Fitton: It's a big moment for a mother, love. A daughter's first night.
- Liz Piper: [continues sobbing] I just can't believe she's ready about it. I feel there was so much I should have told her.
- Molly Thompson: I'll give you a couple of tips, love. Never show pleasure. You know what I mean, don't you?
- Lucy Fitton: Not that there ever is much.
- Molly Thompson: Aye, you're right there. Never actually refuse, though. It makes a man feel small. And they take it out of your housekeeping money.
- Liz Piper: Bride seeing the groom before the ceremony? It's terrible had luck.
- Jenny Fitton: Oh, Mum, that's a load of old codswallop.
- Liz Piper: You what?
- Jenny Fitton: Nobody believes that stuff nowadays.
- Liz Piper: Oh, nobody believes anything nowadays. I was hoping I brought you up different.
- Jenny Fitton: Everybody says so.
- Leslie Piper: Who says so?
- Jenny Fitton: I say so.
- Leslie Piper: Well, as long as you say so.
- Jenny Fitton: Arthur Fitton! Don't be cheeky!
- Leslie Piper: Why not? We're married, aren't we?
- Jenny Fitton: Yes, but - not on the public highway.
- Jenny Fitton: They say music soothes the savage beast.
- Arthur Fitton: "Breast," darling.
- Jenny Fitton: What did you say?
- Arthur Fitton: I said "breast."
- Jenny Fitton: You talk as if all men are the same, Mrs Thompson.
- Molly Thompson: Do I, love? Well, let's hope they're not, for your sake.
- Jenny Fitton: Um, pass me my nightie, would you, Arthur?
- Arthur Fitton: Oh. Oh, yes.
- Jenny Fitton: Aren't you gonna get undressed?
- Geoffrey Fitton: You know something? You look smashing tonight.
- Jenny Fitton: Must be 'cause I'm enjoying meself.
- Geoffrey Fitton: Must be the company you keep.
- Jenny Fitton: Oh! What conceit, Geoff Fitton.
- Jenny Fitton: I don't care if it never happens.
- Arthur Fitton: Oh, don't be daft. It's got to happen.
- Jenny Fitton: I'd sooner be married to you, like we are, than somebody else, it happening every night.
- Jenny Fitton: Remember Dora's 21st? I had a job holding you back.
- Arthur Fitton: Well, I wish now you hadn't. You know, it might have broken the ice, like.
- Jenny Fitton: Might've done a lot more. Then we couldn't have had a white wedding.
- Jenny Fitton: Perhaps it's me. Perhaps it's Arthur. I mean, there are men, aren't there, who get - who get put off by women?
