Andrew Darling : You're a gremlin, that's what she said.
Macleod : Who says?
Andrew Darling : Mrs blathering Barrows. You should hear what she's going to do with the house of MacPherson. Here... what's a gremlin?
Macleod : You'd better go and see Mr Roberts. Come on.
Andrew Darling : Ah, Robbie... he's a gremlin.
Robertson : Will you please stop calling me a gremlin?

Angela Barrows : [laughing] Great balls of fire. Is that how you tackle the home market?
[Points to the display of two male mannequins dressed in traditional English tweeds]
Robertson : I don't understand, Mrs. Barrows.
Angela Barrows : You're selling to 20th century customers. Your display figures must look like 20th century people. That's psychology, Mr. Robertson. I mean, who would want to identify themselves with a couple of scarecrows like that?
[She then looks puzzled as she finishes speaking and two customers come out of the back and walk out of the store dressed and looking like the mannequins]
