Quotes4

  • [first lines]
  • Clegg: [reading the newspaper] C. Cooper.
  • Truly: A. Jackson.
  • Clegg: What about A. Jackson?
  • Truly: Nothing. You led with C. Cooper, so I thought I'd play my A. Jackson.
  • Clegg: Well I was reading the show report. It says here: "First prize, vegetable section, C. Cooper."
  • Truly: I can't tell you how glad I am to learn that. I've been tossing and turning all night wondering who won first prize in the vegetable section.
  • Clegg: I wonder if C is for Cyril.
  • Truly: Cyril Cooper? Our Cyril Cooper? Old Coop?
  • Clegg: Mmm. Well, it
  • [chuckles]
  • Clegg: it's possible.
  • [last lines]
  • Billy: Too much man for one woman! I bet if he had to retake a test he'd fail.
  • Clegg: Well, what's he digging for? You don't think he's still using worms?
  • Billy: Is that the secret? You come at them with a worm, they go to jelly.
  • Clegg: Well, they did at school.
  • Truly: You won't find that in Kama Sutra.
  • Billy: That's Indian funny stuff. Old Coop's invented Yorkshire funny stuff.
  • Truly: Heh, he didn't even recognize us. I expect after all he's been through his eyesight's not what it was.
  • Clegg: Does he carry one with him? I mean, huh, where do you keep a worm between engagements?
  • Billy: I can't see old Coop settling down
  • Truly: He probably got married and that was it. Wallop. He woke up the next morning and found himself settled down.
  • Billy: Could be. It's a great brake on excitement is wedlock.
  • Clegg: I didn't need a brake. I never found the accelerator.
  • Truly: Well, there must have been some period, even for *you*, when the hormones were stirring.
  • Billy: Tha must have had some kind of springtime, however brief.
  • Clegg: I fear spring was a little late that year.
  • Billy: Nora Batty's a fount of information on local affairs.
  • Truly: And even on those whose marriages are still intact.
