• [Foggy has embarrassed himself in front of Ivy] 

  Foggy Dewhurst : Why didn't you tell me?

  Compo Simmonite : Has tha ever tried tellin' thee anything?

  Norman Clegg : There's no harm done, Foggy.

  Foggy Dewhurst : No harm done? She probably thinks I'm an idiot!

  Sid : She does. She thinks you're an idiot.

  Foggy Dewhurst : There you are, you see. How can you say there's no harm done?

  Sid : There is no harm done, she's always thought you were an idiot.

• Compo Simmonite : That's one thing I can't stand about that woman are her wrinkled stocking legs.

  Norman Clegg : Maybe her stockings are all right. It could be her legs that are wrinkled.

• Compo Simmonite : Oh, it'd take a big bloke and a lot of ale to tackle Ivy physically. I'd have to be desperate.

  Norman Clegg : But you *are* desperate.

  Compo Simmonite : That's true, Norm, but could I afford the ale?

  Foggy Dewhurst : There will be no need to tackle Ivy physically.

  Norman Clegg : That was a near thing there for a minute.

  Compo Simmonite : A narrow squeak.

  Norman Clegg : That's all that'd be left by the time she'd finished with you.
