Margaret Meldrew
- Margaret Meldrew: Perhaps you'd like to put her down, Victor? You've just saved the woman from choking, you don't want to kill her with the aftershave.
- Margaret Meldrew: I wasn't that keen on coming to Portugal at first. But now that we're about to leave, I never want to see the bloody place again as long as I live.
- Victor Meldrew: Yes, that's the good thing about a bad holiday, is going home, which is a positive joy. I remember the last time we went on holiday, we came home to find that our house had been demolished.
- Mrs Warboys: [laughs] Yes, funny you can laugh about it now, right?
- Margaret Meldrew, Victor Meldrew: [They both stare at her angrily, not laughing]
- Mrs Warboys: I suppose you can't really.
- Margaret Meldrew: [about Mrs Warboys] I just cannot believe she was left there like that, in that condition. Next to a complete sheer drop. In total darkness!
- Victor Meldrew: Yes, well there's no point blaming yourself.
- [Margaret turns to him, stammering in anger and disbelief]
- Margaret Meldrew: I wouldn't put it past you to have trussed her up in a sack and thrown her in!
- Victor Meldrew: Oh for goodness's sake!
- Margaret Meldrew: You have never liked the woman, as long as you've known her! To you, she was just a jibbering old bat who popped round twice a week to polish off our digestive biscuits!
