  • Upon Tilly’s return to Dungatar, the first words out of Molly’s mouth are not to snatch the possum.
  • Tilly’s attire at the footy match massively interrupts the game. When she playfully bends over to prop her chair down and smokes, the players literally fall over each other.
    Evan Pettyman: Farrat, stop her! Charge her!
    Sergeant Farrat: With what? Sitting?
  • All of Tilly and Molly’s banter to each other.
  • When Tilly begins to make a dress for Gertrude:
    Tilly: Take your clothes off.
    Molly: A murderer... and a lesbian.
  • Teddy approaches Tilly, who’s wheeling Molly up a hill.
    Teddy: (To Tilly) Need a lift?
  • Molly and Barney, a slow individual, converse.
    Molly: Are we related?
    Barney: No!
    Molly: Oh, thank god.
  • Molly makes snide remarks when watching a film with Tilly and Teddy.
  • A woman with a lazy eye approaches Molly.
    Woman: I’d like to see Myrtle Dunnage, please.
    Molly: I bet you would.
  • Gertrude attempting to run away from William and his mother in the most awful, over-the-top wedding dress.
  • When Teddy takes his shirt off to get measured, Tilly and Molly just stare and look at each other, mouths wide open.
    Molly: You could be married in this suit.
    Teddy: Yeah, I could be.
    Molly: Snapped up by some eligible spinster or... hag.
    Teddy: Trousers off too?
    Molly/Tilly: Yes!/No!
  • Dungatar is putting on an eisteddfod of Macbeth. Only now, the man playing a character is dead.
    Gertrude: Where’s Councillor Pettyman?
    Reggie: He’s dead.
    Gertrude: No, not until Act 2 Scene 1.
    Reggie: No, he’s actually dead.
