  Tom : Will you pack it in? The whole house is shaking. There's plaster falling off in there.

  Nora Batty : He's very forceful, your Tom.

  Mrs. Avery : He's unreliable. I think there's another woman.

  Nora Batty : There'd better not be another woman. You've got a good lass here. I've seen the way she looks after your house.

  Nora Batty : It's time you married this good lass. Settle down.

  Mrs. Avery : He keeps saying he will.

  Tom : Aaaaaah, I'm working on it.

  Nora Batty : Has he promised you?

  Mrs. Avery : At least twice a week.

  Tom : Am I supposed to remember everything?

  Nora Batty : I'll get him settled down; I feel I owe it to his father.
