[last lines]
Hugo Horton : Lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place.
Jim Trott : No no no no no, it does.
Hugo Horton : Does it?
Jim Trott : Oh yes, my father was struck twice by lightning.
Hugo Horton : Good Lord! How did he feel afterwards?
Jim Trott : Heavy. We buried him the next day.

David Horton : This is intolerable!
[Enters the church hall where everyone is still working on preparations for the fete]
David Horton : Isn't it time you all went to bed?
Alice Tinker : It's a last minute idea I had. We're having a fashion parade at the end of the fete, and people have to come as characters from Elton John's songs.
Geraldine Granger : Oh, look at Mrs C!
[Mrs Cropley is wearing an evening dress and a curly blonde wig]
David Horton : Ah, Mrs Cropley! Am I mistaken, or did Mr John write a song about Danny La Rue?
Letitia Cropley : No - Marilyn Monroe. "It seemed to him, she lived her life like a candle in the wind, ever knowing who to cling to when the rain set in."
Geraldine Granger : I think you'll find David, that Jim is our star turn. Come in, Jim Trott!
[Jim enters wearing jeans and a Union Jack tank top with a bald wig]
Jim Trott : [In a thug voice] A skinhead!
[singing while putting up his fists]
Jim Trott : Saturday night's alright for fighting!
David Horton : [Unimpressed] Yes, well. Much as I'd like to dress up like someone who's had their brain surgically removed Vicar, I think you'll find that myself and Hugo will not have the time to join in this particular piece of high class entertainment!
Geraldine Granger : Hugo!
[Hugo skips into the room wearing a blue and white gingham pinafore dress with a white blouse and a wig with bunches and gives a twirl]
Hugo Horton : Get it? I-I'm Dorothy. Wizard of Oz. "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." I-I borrowed one of Alice's dresses.
[His smile fades as David glares at him with arms folded]
Hugo Horton : Sorry, Father.
[Puts his hands to his chest]
