  • [Lynda and Eric are having an argument]
  • Lynda Mansell: Lynda up the duff - what odds do you put on that, eh, Mr Clever Dick, eh? That's shut his gob. That's put a crease in his brand-new suit.
  • Eric: I don't believe you. You're joking. How? How d'you know?
  • Lynda Mansell: You're the one that should know. You put it up me, Mr Bareback Rider! You knew when you were gonna spunk! How the hell was I supposed to know?
  • Eric: No, you soft cow! I mean, how do you know? Are you sure?
  • Lynda Mansell: You're the one with eyes. Look! Can't you see?
  • [Lynda points to her swollen belly]
  • Lynda Mansell: All you see are tits and arses.
  • Eric: Have you seen a doctor? And how d'you know it's *mine*?
  • Lynda Mansell: If it walks with a limp and thinks with its prick, it's yours.
  • Vickie: Tea, sir.
  • Eric: Where's the other young lady?
  • Vickie: Pardon?
  • Eric: Where's the waitress who took my order?
  • Vickie: Oh, you mean the waitress who took your order, sir.
  • Eric: That's right.

  • Eric: Where to?
  • Vickie: Singa-bloody-pore, sir.
  • [Eric shows up at Lynda's tea house job. Lynda sarcastically pretends not to recognize him]
  • Lynda Mansell: Can I help you, sir?
  • Eric: Cup of tea, please.
  • Lynda Mansell: We don't serve cups of tea, sir. Only pots, that's teapots, not piss pots, although we can always make exceptions. If you want a cup of tea, you must go to the caf with all the other riffraff. This is a cafe.
  • Eric: Pot of tea, then, smart arse.
  • Lynda Mansell: Language.
  • [turns to leave]
  • Eric: And a bit of cake.

  • Eric: I'll just have the tea.
  • Lynda Mansell: *Please.*
  • Eric: Please.
  • Lynda Mansell: Thank you.
