"Stupid old..." "I'll tell you, they don't know." "It was the women who had the war, the real war." "The women were left at home in the shit, not sitting in some sparkling plane or gleaming tank." "There was no glamour for us." "They should've been with me when old Pauline Woolley went into labor." " D'you remember that, Violet?" " Yes, yes, I do." "Seven hours of screaming down Bethnal Green bloody tube station." "And then I had to cut the baby's head off to save the mother's life." "She died anyway, poor old cow."

"You've already got one foot in the grave, Jack." "Don't jump in headfirst." "I won't do anything, you know that." " Good lad." " How long we known each other?" "Pals, Reg!" "I hope so, Jack." " Right..." " It's dealt with." " He's winding me up." " It's dealt with." "You're in trouble, Jack!" "Go on." "Shoulda done him, Reggie." " He's a ponce." " We've done all we had to." "He's afraid, he ain't gonna rip us off again." "Stupid bastards." "You're not fooling anyone, Jack." "Those bloody tablets of yours, they're turnin' your mind to jelly."

"Reg likes them, they go with the outfit." "I'm sure he does, but Reg isn't here, so take them off, there's a good girl." "I better get this tea up to those young men." "They'll be gasping." "They haven't stopped nattering since they've been there." "We're expecting business from across the ocean." "Soon you won't be able to throw a brick without hitting something of ours."

"That's exactly right, Dickie." " You know what that glamour is?" " No?" "It's fear." "I learnt that a long time ago." "If people are afraid of you, you can just do anything." "Glamour is fear." "She looks really beautiful." "Yes, she does." "What's wrong with her?" "I don't think it's possible to love someone too much, but I think you can love them the wrong way." "Oh, I don't know..." "Love..." "She's well looked after." "I know, my darling, I know." "She's just gotta start kicking, that's all, like I had to."
