- Nellie: 'Scuse me. I'm looking for some people by the name of Briggs. I just want to know their address.
- [caretaker points to a flat about half-way up the tower block]
- Caretaker: You see that flat up their with the Venetian blinds up? Well they're down. That's the one. If the blinds are up and the lights are out, they're out. When the blinds are down and the lights are on, they're in. Course if the blinds are down and the lights are out, they might be out.
- Chunky: Might just be a blind.
- [Charlie and Maggie are arguing about whose fault it was that their marriage has failed]
- Charlie: It suppose it was all my fault.
- Maggie: Of course it was your fault.
- Charlie: Yeah, it was always my fault.
- Maggie: It wasn't *always* your fault.
- Charlie: When I saw it was always my fault, it was always my fault.
- Maggie: All right, then.
- Charlie: Don't argue. If I hadn't have liked you, I wouldn't have bashed your head in, would I?
- [while Charlie was away at sea for two years, Maggie had been living with Bert; now they have got back together again; Charlie grabs Maggie and takes her out of the pub; as he leaves, he taunts Bert]
- Charlie: Hey, bus driver! I can go away for *ten* years and get my own wife back!
- [talking about how elderly tenants are given the top-storey flats in the high-rise blocks]
