Daisy : Daddy's nowhere round the block!
Rose : Nobody's seen him!
Daisy : Did our Hyacinth ring?
Onslow : No.
Rose : Did Mr. Bickerstaff ring?
Onslow : Nobody rang.
Daisy : I ASKED her to ring! Onslow, you'll have to get the car out, love. We'll have to go and tell her.
Rose : What if Mr. Bickerstaff rings?
Daisy : You can phone Mr. Bickerstaff at our Hyacinth's!
Onslow : On her white, slimline, push-button telephone.

Daisy : [to Onslow in bed] We hardly have any conversation these days. Even when we make love you rarely speak to me. Especially when we make love you rarely speak to me.
Onslow : You think doing two things at once is a formula for success?
Daisy : Its just that, at times like that, a woman likes a little confirmation that there's actually somebody there.
Onslow : It's that memorable is it? I'll tell you why I don't like chatting when I'm making love to you. Because the last time, right in the middle of things, you said to me: 'Onslow, if I'd've died in child birth, would you have married again?'
Daisy : Well, would you?
Onslow : Married again? I couldn't even finish making love!

Onslow : [Daddy is missing again] It's no good going off half-cocked in these little emergencies. Somebody's got to keep a cool head and do the planning.
Rose : [Runs in] There's nobody seen him in the street. Her at the shop hasn't seen him, and she never misses a thing.
Onslow : If you're gonna track him down, the first thing to do is find out what he's wearing.
[Both run out to look]
Onslow : See what I mean about planning? A cool head.
Daisy : [Returns] All his street clothes are there! He's not wearing any of them!
Onslow : So now we know what we're looking for - an old man in pajamas.
Rose : [Returns, holding Daddy's pajamas] Wrong!
Onslow : Oh, nice...
-
Onslow : Here it is. Plan A. I'll stay here in case he comes home. You two go and look for him.
Rose : I can't go! I'm expecting a phone call from Mr. Bickerstaff.
Daisy : Who's Mr. Bickerstaff?
Rose : Who's Mr. Bickerstaff? He's only the best thing that ever happened to me. A chance to start again, to build on the security of someone who cares for me!
Daisy : I thought that was Mr. Crabtree!
Rose : Don't speak to me about that swine...
-
Daisy : Are we going to get up?
Onslow : You don't have to go to pieces just because it's a beautiful day!
Daisy : [Rose comes in, wearing the negligee she was sleeping in, and Daisy is aghast] Will you put something on, our Rose? You'll be upsetting Onslow!
Onslow : [Is trying to go back to sleep] No she won't, not this time of the morning.
Rose : Dad's gone again, he left a note this time!
[Reads the note]
Rose : "Condition Red. Enemy aircraft approaching. Don't get up, I'll handle it. Have you seen my ration book?" - Dad
Daisy : NOW we'll have to get up!
Onslow : I'll kill your father...
