• Mrs. Betty Slocombe : I just do simple cooking to my own taste. But you'll never see a dirty plate in my kitchen. And if there are any left-overs, my pussy gobbles them up in a flash!

• Canteen Manageress : [Referring to Mrs. Slocombe]  And as for her, she looks like she's got a permanent smell under her nose.

  Mrs. Betty Slocombe : And the nearer you are, the stronger it gets!

• Mrs. Slocombe : [discussing how the world began]  Apparently it all started out as thick soup, with little orgasms crawlin' 'round in it.

• [in the canteen kitchen, Mr. Humphries sees something on the floor, screams and leaps into Mrs. Slocombe's arms] 

  Mrs. Slocombe : Was it a mouse, Mr. Humphries?

  Mr. Humphries : Don't be silly, Mrs. Slocombe. Only women are frightened of mice.

  Mr. Lucas : What was it?

  Mr. Humphries : A frog!

• Mrs. Betty Slocombe : Speaking for myself, and I am unanimous in this, I think they ought to get rid of the lot of them and get some decent staff in.

  Miss Shirley Brahms : Yeah, we could run that canteen better than what they does.

  Mrs. Betty Slocombe : "Do", Miss Brahms.

  Miss Shirley Brahms : Yeah, well, we could run the canteen better than what they does do!... That don't sound right, do it?

  Mrs. Betty Slocombe : It certainly don't, Miss Brahms.
