Vivian Van Damm
- Vivian Van Damm: She said it's not your fault. That can only mean one thing...
- Laura Henderson: Which is?
- Vivian Van Damm: That it is your fault!
- Laura Henderson: Who on earth are you?
- Leslie Pearkes: This is Vivian Van Damm.
- Laura Henderson: Don't be silly. That's not a British name.
- Vivian Van Damm: In actual fact, my father's a lawyer in Bishopsgate, although some of his ancestors are from Holland.
- Laura Henderson: Oh, dear God, you're Jewish!
- Vivian Van Damm: As it happens, I'm not.
- Laura Henderson: Well, of course you are, dear. Just look at yourself.
- Bertie: What do you make of her?
- Vivian Van Damm: She's beautiful.
- Bertie: Yes.
- Vivian Van Damm: But the nipples...
- Bertie: Too large?
- Vivian Van Damm: They're not British. Could be Italian. We must have British nipples.
- Vivian Van Damm: Mustn't keep the Millerettes waiting.
- Laura Henderson: Oh, that name is intolerable. It suggests midgets working in a factory.
- Vivian Van Damm: Millettes sounds like a medical condition.
- Vivian Van Damm: Listen, everyone... We have no choice - the government is forcing us to close. One more light dimming in the heart of London.
- Laura Henderson: He's turning into Winston again!
- Laura Henderson: We have made rather a go at it, haven't we?
- Vivian Van Damm: Yes. You're a very irritating woman, but I wouldn't have missed this for the world.
- Laura Henderson: I feel quite the same - even though you're a very irritating man.
- Vivian Van Damm: What you are suggesting isn't possible. That kind of thing isn't done here. Nudity? In England?

- Vivian Van Damm: Listen you old battle-axe!
- Laura Henderson: Don't you dare talk to me like that!
