Janine Duvitski: Jane Edwards

Quotes 

• Harvey Bains : When I got to the police station, the place was in uproar. Tom thought he was Marc Antony; the daughter-in-law was trying to get him a life sentence; and Diana had the desk sergeant in a head-lock.

  Jane : Do you think they'll be all right?

  Harvey Bains : Oh, I should think so; the police are a tough lot.

  Jane : No, I mean our people.

  Harvey Bains : Well, they're even tougher. I'd like to machine-gun the lot of them.

  Jane : Oh, Harvey, that's not very caring.

• Jane : Harvey would like to have a little word.

  Diana : 'Cause he can't manage a big word?

  Harvey Bains : Thank you, Diana, this is a serious matter, so if I could have your full attention, with no interruption.

  Basil : Is it about the, uh, contraceptive machine in the gent's lavvy?

  Harvey Bains : No, it is not! There is no such machine, Basil.

  Basil : Precisely! And it's a disgrace. It's a four mile walk to the nearest chemist. And by the time you've been there and back you can't remember what you went for. And the other party's probably dead, anyway.
