- Glenda: I'll have to get home to my Barry. He was feeling depressed. He was talking about getting tattooed.
- Edie: I hope you stopped that. Not one member of this family has been tattooed, and that includes your father.

- Clegg: Can I just... summarize the situation here? We've just seen Billy Hardcastle disappear up a tree.
- Truly: Yes, I noticed that.
- Clegg: Carrying what to the casual observer looked like a length of rope with him.
- Truly: Length of rope. Yes, saw that.
- Billy Hardcastle: Eh, da- Oh blooming heck.
- Clegg: But, don't you think we ought to inquire what his plans are?
- Truly: He seemed perfectly cheerful.
- Clegg: What, climbing up a tree at his age? That could be construed as another bad sign.
- Truly: How're you doing up that tree, Billy?
- Billy Hardcastle: I'm doing great. Apart from a bit of trouble with this damn great knot.

- Truly: I don't know why they got so mad with Barry. He's just given the golf course a new hole.
- Billy Hardcastle: He'd a' lacquered it, that one.
- Clegg: I thought Howard was moving well. I hope he puts the kettle on.
