Quotes 

• Compo : Why should I go through life alone?

  Blamire : Because you're old and ugly and repulsive.

  Compo : Oh, I'm not all that old.

• Compo : Oh, I miss a woman's touch, eh.

  Mrs. Batty : You'll not miss it in a minute. Give you a swipe left earhole if you come any closer.

• [last lines] 

  Compo : She were a brandy drinker. I thought I'd get her drunk and have me way with her.

  Blamire : You disgusting creature. What happened?

  Compo : She had to carry me home. Then this morning she were gone wi' all me clobber.

  [Blamire and Clegg burst out laughing] 

  Compo : It's not funny!

  Blamire : It's hilarious, you dozy clown!

• [first lines] 

  Compo : It's no good. I've not got the knack. Why's thine a better colour than mine?

  Mrs. Batty : I'm not talking to you about washing.

  Neighbour : Well, he only asked, Mrs Batty.

  Mrs. Batty : Yes, and he only does it so he can talk about me knickers. He's got no shame. I'd dry 'em inside, but you never know when that insurance man's going to come.
