• Yvonne : [to Gary]  Give me one good reason why I shouldn't strangle you!

  Gary : Um...

  Ron : It's illegal. It's a lot harder than it looks on the telly and it takes longer.

• [first lines] 

  Gary : So. This is dockside living, eh. This is a skinner's yard, you know. Skins and pelts used to be stored in here.

  Ron : No, Gray. Fruit. It is called Citrus Wharf.

  Gary : Ron, I came here in 1941. There were ropy old skins hanging everywhere, and there's a big pile of carcasses down that end.

  Ron : No, Gary. Oranges and lemons, Gary. This place has had oranges and lemons in it since it was built. Nell Gwynne had a discount card here; the estate agent told me.

• Yvonne : I just have to find another way to live, Gary; another way to love. And no, I don't mean on the kitchen table dressed up in a nurse's uniform.

  Gary : Aw, shame. I was looking for a spot of therapy myself.

  Yvonne : I'll sort you out when I've sorted meself out.

  Gary : Promise?

• Gary : Women! They just do your head in, don't they? They must learn it at school. Yeah, it's domestic science, isn't it? How to poach an egg and how to scramble a bloke's brains.

  Gary : This is a wartime wedding, Phoebe, so I want our best man to be important, well, symbolic even. So, it's not going to be any old friend or workmate for us, Phoebe. Oh, no, better than that: it will be a soldier, or a sailor, or an airman. Phoebe, we will have the best best man of all: a British fighting man.

  Reg : Bravo, Gary. Bravo.

  Phoebe : Oh, I see. Wonderful. I'll be standing at the altar, and you'll be out on the street trying to pick up a sailor.
