Quotes

[first lines]
Clegg : [reading the newspaper] C. Cooper.
Truly : A. Jackson.
Clegg : What about A. Jackson?
Truly : Nothing. You led with C. Cooper, so I thought I'd play my A. Jackson.
Clegg : Well I was reading the show report. It says here: "First prize, vegetable section, C. Cooper."
Truly : I can't tell you how glad I am to learn that. I've been tossing and turning all night wondering who won first prize in the vegetable section.
Clegg : I wonder if C is for Cyril.
Truly : Cyril Cooper? Our Cyril Cooper? Old Coop?
Clegg : Mmm. Well, it
[chuckles]
Clegg : it's possible.

[last lines]
Billy : Too much man for one woman! I bet if he had to retake a test he'd fail.
Clegg : Well, what's he digging for? You don't think he's still using worms?
Billy : Is that the secret? You come at them with a worm, they go to jelly.
Clegg : Well, they did at school.
Truly : You won't find that in Kama Sutra.
Billy : That's Indian funny stuff. Old Coop's invented Yorkshire funny stuff.
Truly : Heh, he didn't even recognize us. I expect after all he's been through his eyesight's not what it was.
Clegg : Does he carry one with him? I mean, huh, where do you keep a worm between engagements?

Billy : I can't see old Coop settling down
Truly : He probably got married and that was it. Wallop. He woke up the next morning and found himself settled down.
Billy : Could be. It's a great brake on excitement is wedlock.
Clegg : I didn't need a brake. I never found the accelerator.
Truly : Well, there must have been some period, even for *you*, when the hormones were stirring.
Billy : Tha must have had some kind of springtime, however brief.
Clegg : I fear spring was a little late that year.
