Quotes
-
Lucy Fitton : Some men never grow up, do they?
Liz Piper : [softly sobbing]
Jenny Fitton : What's up with you, Mum?
Lucy Fitton : It's a big moment for a mother, love. A daughter's first night.
Liz Piper : [continues sobbing] I just can't believe she's ready about it. I feel there was so much I should have told her.
Molly Thompson : I'll give you a couple of tips, love. Never show pleasure. You know what I mean, don't you?
Lucy Fitton : Not that there ever is much.
Molly Thompson : Aye, you're right there. Never actually refuse, though. It makes a man feel small. And they take it out of your housekeeping money.

Lucy Fitton : [bitter about her husband's behavior over their honeymoon] Every blessed morning, off they'd go, happy as sandboys, without as much as a goodbye kiss.
Ezra Fitton : I was never one to take liberties.
Liz Piper : But she was your wife, Mr. Fitton.
Ezra Fitton : I know, but you can still show respect, can't you? I mean, kissing a 19-year-old girl while she's still asleep?
Liz Piper : But she slept beside you all night...
Ezra Fitton : I slept beside my brother Tom for years, but I never bloody kissed him!
