Quotes 

• Mrs. Tripp : [Upon answering the door, Mrs. Tripp looks at Tom, before turning her gaze to Mr. Grimes] 

  [to Mr. Grimes] 

  Mrs. Tripp : What a disgusting, filthy disgrace to humanity you are!

  Mr. Grimes : [looking puzzled and slurring]  I'm Crimes.

  Mrs. Tripp : You're drunk, sir.

  Mr. Grimes : Nevertheless, I'm Crimes

  [cannot say Grimes as he is still drunk] 

  Masterman : [giggles] 

  Mr. Grimes : [looking at Masterman, then to Mrs. Tripp]  Well, does tha want the chimneys swept or does tha not want the chimneys swept?

  Mrs. Tripp : Mmm...

  [nods head towards door] 

  Mrs. Tripp : Come in.

  [Towards Tom, who had begun to pick up Toby] 

  Mrs. Tripp : And you can leave that thing outside for a start.

  Masterman : [grabbing Tobys lead]  Come here. Mr Grimes...

  [passing Mr. Grimes his sweeps] 

  Masterman : There's your bags.

  Mrs. Tripp : Now then. Listen to me, all of you. I've dust sheeted all the rooms where there's chimneys to be swept. You've brought plenty of soot bags, I see?

  Mr. Grimes : Yeah.

  Mrs. Tripp : Well use them! Because I warn you, one speck of soot in any of those rooms... and not a penny piece will you get from me.

  Masterman : [salutes to Mrs. Tripp]  Yes, Ma'am.

  Mrs. Tripp : Well come on, get on with it then!
