- Cynthia: But sweetheart, I can't be your mother!
- Hortense Cumerbatch: Why not?
- Cynthia: Well... look at me!
- Cynthia: I was stuck at home from the age of 10 looking after Maurice and your Granddad.
- Roxanne: Yeah, we know.
- Cynthia: Then I got saddled with you. That was my downfall, darling.
- Roxanne: I didn't ask to be born.
- Cynthia: No, and I never asked to have you neither.
- Roxanne: Well, you should have thought about that before you dropped your knickers!
- Hortense Cumerbatch: You can tell a lot about people from lookin' at their eyes.
- Maurice: That's true.
- Monica Purley: Can you?
- Jane: Windows to your soul.
- Cynthia: That's a nice way of puttin' it, Jane.
- Jane: It's true though, ain't it.
- Cynthia: He knows where I am if he wants me. He'd have had us up there to see it by now, I expect, if it weren't for her. Toffy-nosed cow.
- Hortense Cumerbatch: D'you like Italian food?
- Cynthia: Yeah. I eat anything, me. Chinese, kebabs, the lot!
- Monica Purley: Having a steak, are you, Cynthia?
- Cynthia: Yes. Thank you, Monica.
- Monica Purley: That'll put hairs on your chest.
