- [Gloria has just arrived, saying that Reg has left her and that he was angry]
- Jean: Why was he in such a state?
- Gloria: Well... He came home early.
- Eric: Oh yeah!
- Gloria: He didn't bother to phone from work did he? He just turned up.
- Jacko: Well it is his house.
- Gloria: Maybe, but if he'd given me some prior warning, things could have been averted.
- Jean: What thing?
- Gloria: I could have asked my friend to leave.
- Jacko: [astonished] You had a bloke there!
- Gloria: A double-glazing consultant... But I can't help his sex can I?
- [looks around]
- Gloria: I didn't encourage him... it just came over us.
- Gloria: Well don't all stare at me like that. I'm a victim of my own sunny nature.
