- Eddie Ginley: I'll put a cushion down.
- Anne Scott: I couldn't.
- Eddie Ginley: Why not?

- Anne Scott: In Liverpool. So I got a job in this office.
- Eddie Ginley: Don't be embarrassed when we're out together - I could walk behind you.
- Eddie Ginley: Oh no.
- Eddie Ginley: Why not?
- Anne Scott: I like to hold hands in the street. I'd feel like I was taking you out for a walk.
- Eddie Ginley: [Can't make out this line]
- Anne Scott: I'm basically conservative.
- Eddie Ginley: Switch sides.
- Anne Scott: I'd rather fight than switch.

- Anne Scott: Hit below the belt, do you?
- Eddie Ginley: And I've got a long reach.

- Eddie Ginley: That's what I mean, thanks for the flying pig.
