Quotes1

  • 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.
