Quotes 

• Sally Thorpe : Why don't you chuck it and get out?

  Nat Hearn : Because it's not the answer. There's nothing wrong with the people. They're the same town that fought the war. All they want is someone to take an interest in their own affairs. Anything wrong with that?

  Sally Thorpe : Nothing. Only I'm afraid you're in for a big disappointment.

  Nat Hearn : Perhaps I am.

• Sally Thorpe : You're a bit of a mystery to me. You oughtn't be a nice person at all, but you are. Rather.

  Nat Hearn : I just believe in people, that's all. Seems a pity you don't.

• Baines : Glad to see you got back. But you've been long enough about it.

  Nat Hearn : Yes, just tidying up the Orient, you know.

  Baines : Uh, huh, this town needs a bit of tidying up too, come to that. But, uh, things are moving.

• Nat Hearn : Detail, Trumble, detail. Never despise detail. It's our meat, drink, bread, butter, salt, pepper and mustard.
