- Mr. Merryweather: You're lucky I'm in a good mood today so I'm going to explain something to you. We ain't going to move. Not for nobody, and if you come here again annoying me an' my little missus, I'll splatter you all over the wall. Do you understand?
- Sidney Tait: You make yourself abundantly clear, sir.
- James Ryder: There's 500 quid in it for you.
- Mrs. Cragg: Five hundred? For doing what?
- James Ryder: Nothing.
- Mrs. Cragg: You told me yourself, that nobody gives you anything for nothing.
- James Ryder: Well, gentlemen, we've all been hit by this thing. I'm getting so jumpy I don't even trust myself.
- [Mrs Cragg overhears James Ryder and Sidney Tait bemoaning the fact that a financial backer has pulled out of investing in their company and that they will need to borrow money at a crippling interest rate]
- Mrs. Cragg: [to herself] I'd give them a quid out of my own pocket if only they'd stop walking over my nice clean floor.
- Mrs. Higgins: O' course, if they had their way they'd bung us all into crowded grottoes like what the Germans did.
- Mrs. Higgins: What about your bosses, eh? Look at them, sittin' there, stuffin' themselves with goose and caviar. Yeah, well you go and tell them that the bourgeois and proletariat blood will mingle in the gutters of the Kerry Crossroad before they get chucked out of here. Go on, tell 'em!
