- Howard: I just fancied breakfast on the terrace. I don't know why I'm picked on like this.
- Pearl: Well, speaking personally, I enjoy it. Would you like a cup o' tea, Norm?

- Howard: Used to eating outdoors. Though I suppose some people get used to it more quickly than others.
- Pearl: There's a fly in your tea. Get used to that quickly too.
- Howard: It's got a funny look about it.
- Clegg: Long as it's not wearing funny shorts.

- Nora Batty: What if he has a coronary?
- Ivy: I shouldn't think he's got room.
