[Joan and Freddy are lying in bed]
Joan Trotter : I've been working as your charlady for over six months now, and I still don't know how to switch your Hoover on.
Freddie Robdal : No, but you're very good with that squeegee.

Freddie Robdal : Why'd you pawn the ring?
Joan Trotter : I'm gonna get it back in a couple of weeks.
Freddie Robdal : Why'd you pawn the ring?
Joan Trotter : My son wanted to buy a Lambretta. He'll pay me back soon. Are they gonna hang you?
Freddie Robdal : No, but after I get my hands on you, they might!

Joan Trotter : What about Reg? He might come down to Bournemouth looking for us.
Freddie Robdal : He'll only come down once. That's a big ocean.
Joan Trotter : Don't say things like that.
Freddie Robdal : Reg knows what'll happen if he makes a nuisance of himself. I know you can find his IQ on a dice, but he ain't that stupid.
[Joan smiles]
Freddie Robdal : I'm out soon, and that's when our lives begin. Just keep thinking of us down on that beach. If it's a nice day, we can jump in the boat, sail out to sea, and have a picnic in France.
Joan Trotter : [Faltering with joy] Oh shut up...
Freddie Robdal : Then we'll sail back, in time for little'un to get into bed, ready for school in the morning. He'll love it.
Joan Trotter : I know he will. He's got a name. Rodney.
Freddie Robdal : [Half uneasy] Yeah, I know. You know, some people use their middle name instead of their first. Has he got a middle name?
Joan Trotter : Charlton.
Freddie Robdal : [Discreetly but obviously disappointed] Yeah, Rodney'll love it.
Joan Trotter : But what about my Derek? My eldest son, I mean, I don't want to just leave him, not the way he is. I wanna make sure he's OK.
Freddie Robdal : Well, he's a teenager. He can look after himself, can't he?
Joan Trotter : No, I'd worry about him. I've got to make sure he's settled before we run off.

Ernie Rayner : Who are you?
Freddie Robdal : I'm the last bloke in the world you want to meet.

[DI Thomas is questioning Freddie and Gerald about the jewellery robbery in Margate]
DC Stanton : We have an eyewitness to the robbery.
Freddie Robdal : Really? And who might that be?
DI Thomas : At this juncture we're not willing to give you any information about our eyewitness: whether it was a man or a woman, old or young, married or single. Absolutely nothing.
Gerald Kelly : Why have they taken so long in coming forward?
DI Thomas : Because him and his wife have just got back from a spell in the rest-home.
[DI Thomas realises that he has just given away far too much information]
