Grandfather George
- Grandfather George: You want to know why they're called Faith, Hope, Grace and Charity?
- Bill Rowen: Why?
- Grandfather George: Your Grandmother. She named them after the virtues I lack. That's marriage for you!
- Grandfather George: All hens and no cocks. Too many women in our family. They're a different species from us, Bill.
- Bill Rowen: Don't you love them?
- Grandfather George: Oh, yes, love them. But don't try to understand them. That road leads to ruin.
- Clive Rowen: [Billy bowls] That was a googly!
- Mac: A googly?
- Grandfather George: You didn't spot it, Clive.
- Clive Rowen: I taught him how. And now he turns it against me.
- Grandfather George: The law of life. Cruel, isn't it?
- Grandfather George: [pointing to an electrical transformer tower at the edge of his property] Look! They're coming this way: the Future on the march. I curse you, Volt, Watt and Amp!
- Grandfather George: Betty Browning. Betty. Let me tell you something. I'm 73 years old. I've seen half the wonders of the world. And I've never laid eyes on a finer sight than the curve of Betty Browning's breasts.
- Grandfather George: You look frustrated, Faithy. That husband of yours still can't rise to the occasion?
- Faith: He's a menace. He should be locked up.
- Grandfather George: "What can you do with four daughters," I asked myself. Four daughters. A string quartet was all I could come up with. And they hated me for making them learn.
- Grace Rowan, Charity, Faith, Hope: And now we're glad you did.
- Grandfather George: Ohhh, it's only a house...a ghastly one at that. They should all be burned and bombed and the builder hanged.
- Grandfather George: That was a googly!
- Bill Rowen: I know.
- Grandfather George: You're a dark horse, bowling googlies at your age.
