- Susan Harper: [taking some books] I think I'll take these up with me.
- Joan Harper: You wouldn't want to take books with you forever. I was married when I was your age.
- Susan Harper: I know. It was a love match, wasnt it? Till someone blew it out.
- Joan Harper: The only thing your father ever blew were his chances. He didn't have to go to Africa. He had a fine practice here.
- Susan Harper: Well, maybe he wanted something he couldn't get on the national health.
- Joan Harper: Yeah, black women. And he wasn't very good with white, I can tell you that.
- Susan Harper: Oh, Mum, be fair. We both know why he walked out.
- Joan Harper: If I had kicked your father where he deserved, he'd have never had walked again.
- Susan Harper: Sorry, Georgie. I must get on with my work now, ,really. Goodbye. Thank you for the chocolates.

- Martin Durnley (Georgie Clifford): Can Georgie have a book... about animals?
- Susan Harper: [turns back, smiles:] Of course you can. Come on, we'll find one.
- Gerry Henderson: [Susan's boyfriend toots horn outside] Now then, Sue, no hanky panky in the back seat.
- Susan Harper: You needn't worry. I shall be in the front seat.
- Gerry Henderson: Well, watch out for his arm when he changes gear, then!
- [laughs]
- Joan Harper: What's the matter with you this morning? You're as jumpy as a kitten!
- Susan Harper: Nothing!
- Joan Harper: You know, when Gerry leaves, I think I'll move Georgie.
- Susan Harper: Mum...
- Joan Harper: Mm-hmm?
- Susan Harper: I think it's time Georgie went too.
