"ISABEL:" "This is the story of my family." "Me, my three beautiful children and my husband." "There is our lovely farm." "It's been in my husband's family for generations." "The sad thing is, my husband is away, fighting in a war, so we're on our own." "We're all terribly worried about him, of course, but on the whole, I'm coping well." "Very well." "Very well, indeed." "No fighting in the best parlour!" "That's me, coping." "Lemon drop. (BLOWING RASPBERRY)" "ISABEL:" "That's very naughty of you." "They're coping, too." "Get off the furniture!" "Vincent, off, off, off!" " VINCENT:" "They started it." " Get off the furniture!" "We're all coping." "We're fine." " You're on the furniture!" " You're on the furniture!" "We're fine." "Then stop shouting!" "We're not shouting." "You're shouting." "We are supposed to be getting the farm spic-and-span before the cousins arrive tomorrow." "And instead, all you're doing is fighting, fighting, fighting, when what I want to be seeing is sharing, sharing, sharing." "Imagine how sad you'd be if you had to be taken away from home because of bombs dropping all over the place." " We're not sharing the jam with them." " What?" "We're not sharing Dad's jam with the cousins." "Oh, no, of course not." "That's for Dad when he comes home." "I'm talking about your room and your toys." "Why won't he reply to my letter?" "We're not talking about Dad, darling." "But why won't he reply?" "His last one came years ago." "No, darling." "Look." "Three months ago, that's all." "You see?" "(SIGHING) Dad's in the Army." "They move him about a lot, that's all it is." "There is nothing to worry about, all right?" "(ISABEL KISSES)" "Now, I've got to run, but you've got to clean up the farm for the cousins." "What are they actually like, the cousins?" "They're city children, and I imagine they're rather refined." "And I am sure that they are very well-behaved." "(VOMITING)" "Blenkinsop, he's vomming again." "Stop the car." "He's vommed all over my shoes!" "It's all right, Blenkinsop." "Stopped now." "Where are my marshmallows?" "Master Cyril, are them marshmallows a wise choice, given your recent evacuation?" "Marshmallows are always a wise choice, thanks." "You beast!" "You've ruined my brand-new Fontarelli patent-leather pumps, and I've left the pale pink at home." "You beast, beast, beast!" "Oh, look." "How sweetly pretty." "Is that the place?"

"I'm family, Iz, is all I'm pointing out, and that's why you can trust me." "All right, Phil." "What's your point?" "Iz, we need to sell the farm, now." "You haven't even got enough money for tomorrow's payment on the tractor, and if there's no tractor, there's no harvest." "If there's no harvest, the farm will fail." "I said no." "And actually, Norman's thought of a way to get some money, so I will make the payment on the tractor." " Has he, indeed?" "What way would that be?" " I'm in a hurry, Phil." "Isabel, I can't point it out enough that I need the money." "I'm only human, but that farm is half..." "Half Rory's and half yours." "Yes, yes, I know." "I know, because you tell me every time I see you." "But you can't sell it without my permission, and I do not give my permission!" " But Izzy, I've got the contract right here." " Goodbye, Phil." "(EXCLAIMS IN FRUSTRATION)" "I'm here." "I'm here." "Mrs Docherty, don't start without me." "Mrs Docherty?" "Mrs Docherty?" "Hello." "Oh." "Oh." "There you are." "I was so worried." "Oh, you worry too much, and it doesn't help." "It's just that you have been a bit forgetful, that's all." "Now, you..." "You look after the shop." "I'll put away the deliveries." "Oh, I was managing perfectly." "You haven't started unpacking, have you?" "Unpacking?" "Where?" "All right." "I was just putting the flour away." "(COUGHING)" "It's gotten foggy."

"You can call me whatever you like, sweetheart." "(LAUGHS) Don't be so naughty." "(BOTH GIGGLING)" "Mrs Biggles won't like it." "Mrs Big says you owe her."

"We've come to get it." "And I respect that, ladies, and, yeah, you'll get it." "You'll get it." "And Mrs Biggles has nothing to worry about." "I can fix it." "I am fixing it." "Please, don't hurt me." "(GASPING) We don't want to hurt you, Phil." "The fact is, Mrs Big has told us to come back with one of two things," " the deeds to your farm..."

"Be ripe in a few days, I reckon." "Must be very proud." "Your mum told me all about your idea to pay for the tractor." "What on earth made you think of that, then?" "Well, I saw Farmer Macreadie at the shop, and he said he was looking to buy some Gloucestershire Old Spots." "Huh?" " Pigs." " I knew that." "So when I offered to sell him our piglets, he jumped at it." "Clever." "Very clever." " (ENGINE STARTING) - (PHIL EXCLAIMING)" "(TRACTOR RUMBLING)" "Come on." "Feed it through." "That's it." "Feed it through." "Come on, Phil, think." "Think, think, think, think." "Piglets." "Got to get rid of the piglets." "Got to get rid of the piglets." "No piglets, no tractor." "Then she'll have to sell the farm." "(HORN HONKING)" "Look." "Cor!" "Look at that." "Is that a motorcar?" "It must be the cousins." "It can't be the cousins." "They're not due till tomorrow."

"We've got no choice." "Take me home, right now!" "And you know why we've got no choice, too, so let's just stop pretending we're here because of bombs." "CELIA:" "They're probably cannibals." "Did you see that thing at the window?" "Greetings, O covered-in-poo people." " Do you speak English?" " You're early." "Yes, poo-man, we have come from far away." "Far, from the land of soap and indoor toilets." "Is that a Fry's chocolate bar with cinder-crunch topping?" "Yes, it is." "Would you like some?" "Pity, there's none left." "BLENKINSOP:" "Come on, Miss Celia." "CELIA:" "Please, Blenkinsop!" " That's rotten." " CYRIL:" "That's life." " CELIA:" "I'll tell Mummy!" " Now, don't be like that, Miss Celia." "Let go!"

" And you're just a chauffeur." " Master Cyril, if you'd be so kind, just hold your arms out for Miss Celia's new clothes." "Promise me!" "I'll talk to your mother, Miss Celia, I promise."
