• Noah Claypole : Workhouse, what's your mother?

  Oliver Twist : She's dead.

  Noah Claypole : What - she die of workhouse?

  Oliver Twist : They said she died of a broken heart.

• Noah Claypole : Do you know who I am?

  Oliver Twist : No, sir.

  Noah Claypole : I'm Mr Noah Claypole and you're under me so don't you forget it!

• Noah Claypole : Workhouse, don't be impudent. You know, Workhouse, your mother must have been a regular, right-down bad 'un.

  Oliver Twist : What did you say?

  Noah Claypole : A regular, right-down bad 'un, Workhouse. And it's a great deal better, Workhouse, that she died when she did, or else she'd have been doing hard labor in Bridewell. Or transported or hung, which is more likely than either.

• Noah Claypole : Do you want a coffin? I'll fetch the missus.
