• [Vic starts to pour a glass of wine for Evelyn] 

  Evelyn Blunt : Not for me thank you.

  Vic Flange : No? Don't drink?

  Evelyn Blunt : No, I tried it once and didn't like it.

  [Vic takes out a packet of cigarettes and offers a cigarette to Evelyn] 

  Vic Flange : Smoke?

  Evelyn Blunt : I tried it once and didn't like it.

  Vic Flange : Strange.

  Evelyn Blunt : Not at all, my daughter is just the same.

  Vic Flange : Your *only* child, I presume!

• [in Vic Flange's Pub, Sadie Tompkins orders a drink at the bar for herself] 

  Sadie Tompkins : Have you got a large one?

  Vic Flange : I've had no complaints so far.

  Sadie Tompkins : Seeing's believing...

  Vic Flange : You won't need a magnifying glass!

  [Vic gives Sadie the drink] 

  Vic Flange : There you are... no, no, have it on me--if you know what I mean!

  Sadie Tompkins : Oh, you don't have to draw me any diagrams!

  Vic Flange : Pity--I was just going to get my ballpoint out!

• Vic Flange : [flapping his hands like wings]  Flying! You don't like flying, remember?

  Cora Flange : [flapping her hands like wings]  I don't like washing floors, but I'd still rather do that than you get some other scrubber!

• Harry : I hear you're going on your holiday tomorrow, then?

  Vic Flange : Just a weekend.

  Harry : All right for some, you taking the missus, too?

  Vic Flange : No, she won't go abroad. Doesn't like flying, do you, love?

  Cora Flange : All the same, if I did, someone has to look after the pub.

  Vic Flange : It's one of them new package deals. 17 quid, all in.

  Harry : Where are you going to?

  Vic Flange : Oh, some new resort in the Med.

  Cora Flange : Oh, for Heaven's sake, Vic, why don't you tell him? It's a place called Elsbels.

  Harry : Elsbels? The island?

  Vic Flange : Yes.

  Harry : Tomorrow?

  Vic Flange : Yes.

  Harry : Blimey, there's a coincidence for you.

  Vic Flange : What is?

  Harry : Sadie's going on the same trip!

• Cora Flange : Coach? I though we were going by air?

  Vic Flange : We have to go in the coach to get to the airport!

  Cora Flange : But you didn't say anything about coaches; I don't like going in them either.

  Vic Flange : Oh, gawd blimey. You're determined to have a good time aren't you?

• Moira Plunkett : I wonder what this is? Santa Cecilia's Exlixir.

  Vic Flange : Oh, some local quack medicine, I suppose.

  Stall-Holder : Oh, no, sir, is not medicine. Is for l'amoura.

  Vic Flange : Pardon?

  Stall-Holder : Liqueur--for making plenty of passion!

  Vic Flange : Get away!

• Cora Flange : You filthy, rotten, stinking beast!

  Vic Flange : What have I done now?

  Cora Flange : Don't you come the innocent with me. You and that Sadie Tomkins..."Are you going on the same trip too? Oh, well, fancy that, yes, fancy that." Well, I don't fancy that AT ALL!

• Vic Flange : Oh, have a heart, darling, you know I need this holiday. You wouldn't want me to go without it just because she's going to be there.

  Cora Flange : If she's going to be there, you won't be going without it!
