Quotes 

• Margo Leadbetter : Why don't you just throw a bucket of mud on the floor?

  Jerry Leadbetter : Look, I've just cut my finger clipping your blasted hedge.

  Margo Leadbetter : Don't swear, Jerry. And don't bleed in the sink. I've just cleaned it.

  Jerry Leadbetter : I'm sorry.

  Margo Leadbetter : And don't throw rubbish in the rubbish bin.

  Jerry Leadbetter : Why on earth not?

  Margo Leadbetter : I've just emptied it.

  Jerry Leadbetter : It's going to fill up again sooner or later.

  Margo Leadbetter : It will do that without your help, thank you very much.

  Jerry Leadbetter : Is it all right if I sit down in my chair, in my house?

  Margo Leadbetter : No it is not. You are coming to the bedroom with me.

  Jerry Leadbetter : Oh...

  Margo Leadbetter : And you can forget that sort of thing for the next month Jerry. I shall be far too exhausted with all this housework. Now, you tuck sides and I tuck corners.

  Jerry Leadbetter : What are you talking about, woman?

  Margo Leadbetter : Beds do not make themselves, Jerry. And don't "woman" me.

• Margo Leadbetter : You still don't understand, do you Tom? You see, life for me is a series of pigeonholes.

  Tom Good : Ah, and today we are the right pigeons in the right pigeonhole?

• Margo Leadbetter : [to Tom & Barbara]  Here's to relationships being kept in their proper pigeonholes for the next three weeks.
