Maud Wright
- Maud Wright: [singing] Too many women and not enough love to go around, Too many women and never a man to be found, Oh, isn't it a shame to wait, All my days and nights...
- Maud Wright: You mind if I sit down? The old varicose veins, you know. You think you're gonna like it here?
- Freda Thompson: I think we might.
- Maud Wright: Yeah, that's what they all say the first day. Here, have a fag.
- Teresa King: Tea - that's all they ever think about in this place.
- Maud Wright: Tea - and men.
- Margaret Long: I've almost forgotten what they look like.
- Bridie Johnson: They wear trousers. I remember that.
- Maud Wright: That's trouble number two in this place. If you can imagine a very large harem with the Sultan away for his annual holiday, well, that's us.
- Freda Thompson: Then it's up to us!
- Maud Wright: All we need is the act to finish the concert.
- Freda Thompson: It's got to be something sensational. If one of those officers leaves the hall before the show's finished, our plan won't work.
- Mrs. Hadfield: I - I don't know if its proper to suggest this, but supposing we could persuade Bridie to - to divest herself of her clothes, as I believe she did on the Paris stage.
- Mrs. Hope Latimer: Mrs. Hadfield!
- Nellie Skinner: Well, I don't know.
- Maud Wright: She's got it. Striptease! No man ever leaves before the last veil drops.
- Mrs. Hope Latimer: I refuse to be a party to it!
- Mrs. Hadfield: She'd be exposing herself for patriotic reasons, you know.
- Freda Thompson, Rosemary Brown, Maud Wright, Mrs. Tatmarsh, Margaret Long, Mrs. Hope Latimer, Nellie Skinner, Mrs. Burtshaw, Annette, Girl in the Show: [singing] There'll always be an England, While there's a country lane, Wherever there's a cottage small, Beside a field of grain, There'll always be an England, And England shall be free, If England means as much to you, As England means to me.
