Quotes
-
Rose : [Daisy is awake in bed reading but Onslow is still asleep, with the covers pulled over his head] How does Onslow breathe under there?
Daisy : [Not too worried about it] Beats me.
Rose : Do you sometimes find him turning blue?
Daisy : Only his language, occasionally.
Rose : Are you sure it IS Onslow? It could be a total stranger.
Daisy : Never has been yet.
Rose : [Onslow wakes up and sits up] Oh no. It is Onslow. You've lost again!
-
Onslow : Listen, Rose, if you're gonna start coming in at the crack of dawn, the least you could do is bring breakfast!
Rose : But you never eat breakfast!
Daisy : That's only because he tends to stay in bed until dinnertime.
Onslow : On principle, I've got nothing against breakfast. I'd eat breakfast if somebody brought it, wouldn't I? It's not against my religion or anything.
Rose : What IS against your religion?
Daisy : Getting up before dinnertime!
[She and Rose both laugh]
Onslow : I notice YOU'RE still in bed.
Daisy : A wife's place is beside her husband!
-
Rose : [on the telephone]
[giggles]
Rose : Oh, Roger! I'm not that kind of girl.
Onslow : How long is your Rose going to be lying on that telephone?
Daisy : How should I know?
Rose : Oh, that's a wicked thing to say, Roger, to a woman of my inexperience.
Onslow : I hope he knows what he's letting himself in for, this poor prat.
Daisy : You shouldn't listen in to other people's conversations.
Onslow : She'll Rose him to death. It's inhuman.
-
Daisy : [Answers the phone] Hello? Who? I'm sorry, I can't hear the phone for the television.
[shouts so she can be heard over the TV]
Daisy : Onslow, I can't hear the phone call for the television!
Onslow : Well, turn it down! That's the practical solution. Why is it women never think practically?
Daisy : [to the phone, seething] Excuse me a moment, but there's a fault at this end and it won't get out of it's chair!
