Quotes 

• Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : [about to leave following the union rep vote, she decides to stay for a quick word with Meg]  Listen, we both know what you think of me getting thr job as union rep...

  Meg Morris : I doubt it. If you did you wouldn't mention it.

  Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : But I intend to do the best possible job.

  Meg Morris : Oh I see. That's why you bulldozed the election, is it? High ideals?

  Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : Listen I've only ever wanted two things from this job: power or the governorship. And we both know what the department thinks of me as Governor, don't we? So I guess its gonna have to be power. And who's got more power than the union, hey?

• Joyce Barry : [on Joan's downbeat take on the forthcoming classes]  Oh come on I dont think that's the right attitude.

  Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : I'm gonna make sure it's the attitude the union adopts.

  Joyce Barry : It's purely voluntary; we take these classes to help the women. It's got nothing to do with the union.

  Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson : It has while I'm around.

  Joyce Barry : Now dont forget that you were voted in to represent us. Not to dictate what we can or cannot do. And I for one wont stand for it.
