- Eddie: Don't mind the wife, she rattles on a bit.
- The Doctor: Well maybe she should rattle on a bit more. I'm not convinced you're doing your patriotic duty. Those flags. Why are they not flying?
- Eddie: There we are Rita, I told you. Get them up, Queen and country!
- Rita: I'm sorry.
- Eddie: Get it done. Do it now.
- The Doctor: Hold on a minute.
- Eddie: Like the gentleman says.
- The Doctor: Hold on a minute. You've got hands, Mr Connolly. Two big hands. So why's that your wifes job?
- Eddie: Well it's housework, isn't it?
- The Doctor: And that's a womans job?
- Eddie: Course it is!
- The Doctor: Mr Connolly, what gender is the Queen?
- Eddie: She's a female.
- The Doctor: And are you suggesting the Queen does the housework?
- Eddie: No! No, not at all.
- The Doctor: Then get busy!
- Eddie: Right, yes sir. You'll be proud of us sir. We'll have Union Jacks left, right, and centre.
- Rose: 'Scuse me Mr Connolly, hang on a minute. Union Jacks?
- Eddie: Yes, that's right, isn't it?
- Rose: That's the Union Flag. It's the Union Jack only when it's flown at sea.
- Eddie: Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. I... I do apologise.
- Rose: Well, don't get it wrong again. There's a good man, now get to it!
- The Doctor: Right then! Nice and comfy, at Her Majesty's Leisure.
- [to Rose]
- The Doctor: Union Flag?
- Rose: Mum went out with a sailor.
- The Doctor: Oh, I bet she did.
- Rose, The Doctor: Hi!
- Eddie: Who are you then?
- The Doctor: Let's see then, judging by the look of you, family man, nice house, decent wage, fought in the war, therefore I represent Queen and country! Just doing a little check of her forthcoming Majesty's subjects before the great day. Don't mind if we come in? Nah, didn't think you did.
- Eddie: [realizing that Doctor's getting information that he wants to keep confidential] Hold on a minute. Queen and country's one thing, but this is my house! What the... what the hell am I doing?
- [advances on the Doctor]
- Eddie: [angry] Now listen here, Doctor. You may have fancy qualifications, but what goes on under my roof is my business!
- The Doctor: A lot of people are being bundled...
- Eddie: [fiercely] I am talking!
- The Doctor: [stands up and matches Eddie] AND I'M NOT LISTENING! Now YOU, Mr Connolly, you are staring into a deep dark *pit* of trouble if you don't let me help! So I'm ordering you, SIR! Tell me what's going on!
