- Meg Morris: What did Officer Ferguson say to you?
- Heather 'Mouse' Trapp: She said Lizzie wasn't with us anymore and wasn't enjoying the morning like the rest of us.
- Meg Morris: And that's all?
- Heather 'Mouse' Trapp: Yes.
- Meg Morris: And you spread the rumour from there?
- Heather 'Mouse' Trapp: Well, she said it like it was real final. Said Lizzie had been called away or something.
- Meg Morris: But that's all?
- Heather 'Mouse' Trapp: Yeah.
- Meg Morris: I have never heard of anything so stupid. You have upset the whole place for nothing.
- Heather 'Mouse' Trapp: I didn't know I was doing that, Mrs Morris, I just thought...
- Meg Morris: Well, *don't* think. And don't ever be so silly again. Now the next time you hear something for Gods sake check on it before you act.
- [Meg exits]
- Heather 'Mouse' Trapp: I've never seen Mrs Morris so cross.
- Paddy Lawson: Well, what do you reckon, Mouse? You go all half cocked and get the whole place in an uproar.
- Chrissie Latham: It's not that. She don't like the Freak anymore than we do; but it's the Freak that's caused all the trouble. And you were dopey enough to fall for the bloody trick.
- Heather 'Mouse' Trapp: But I wasn't dopey...
- Paddy Lawson: Don't argue, Mouse. Ferguson just sucked you in.
- Chrissie Latham: Only took her six months to find out what a mongrel the Freak was.
- Barbara Fields: Chrissie, she had me over a barrel. I had to do what I was told.
- Margo Gaffney: Yeah?
- Barbara Fields: She did it to everybody. To me, to Chrissie...
- Margo Gaffney: Chrissie? What did she do to you, apart from rearranging your face?
- Barbara Fields: That two thousand bucks she did you out of.
- Margo Gaffney: You're up yourself, Fields. Chrissie never had that sort of dough.
- Barbara Fields: She did.
- Chrissie Latham: Shut up, Fields!
