->'''Jo''': No, Mrs. Waring, you've got it all wrong. My book was a made-up story from start to finish.

-->'''Edward''': No, we've been playing ''Happy Families''!

--->'''Ian''': No, Janet, we're in the middle of the road.

--->'''Ian''': Get off the pavement. Get off the-
--->'''Janet''': There's ''nobody'' on it.
--->'''Ian''': That's not the point, get off the ''flippin''' pavement!

-->'''Ian''': You must always get into neutral when the car's stationary.
-->'''Janet''': Ah, I see.
-->'''Ian''': ''Yeah''. I have told you that ''before'', Janet. Should be instinctive by now.
-->'''Janet''': Well, Ian, I've only had fifteen lessons. You can't expect me to have ''learnt'' everything yet.

--->'''Roger''': Keep them coming 'til that's all used up.
--->'''Barman''': Bitter?
--->'''Roger''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Yeah, what do you think?]] ({{Beat}}) '''No, no''', scotch, make it scotch. Large ones, the largest you've got.

-->'''Roger''': Don't say that. Rogey, not podgy. I'm fit!

-->'''Mrs. Moore''': I ''dream'' about you, Doctor.

-->'''Robert''': Well, it's certainly contemporary, Miss, er... may I call you "Josephine"?
-->'''Jo''': Oh, "Jo" would be better.

-->'''Blanche''': My Daddy... ''sugar'' daddy!

-->'''Janet''': It's not what ''we'' think that matters, it's what ''they'' think.

-->'''Madeline''': I do not understand. I know not if I am on my derrière or my elbow.

-->'''Blanche''': You rotten devil, you. Call yourself a doctor?
-->'''Dr. Gay''': "Doctor", "layman". What difference does it make as long as the treatment's right? An' I can give you ''that'', pretty one...

-->'''Jo''': I might be able... Yes, I can see it now: "''L for Lust'', by Josephine Halliday, author of ''Naked Revolt''".
-->'''Gladys''': Enough is enough!
-->'''Dr. Manners''': Have a heart!

-->'''Gladys''': I have some digestive biscuits in my room, Edward. They will suffice until I finish reading your ''daughter's book''.
-->'''Edward''': What's all this "your daughter's" stuff, may I ask? She's your niece, you know! And there aren't any writers in ''my'' family!

-->'''Beryl''': "Naked"! I'll give 'im "naked"!

-->'''Edward''': Girl!
-->'''Jo''': What?
-->'''Edward''': "What"? Look! Look what you've done!
-->'''Jo''': Well, I'm sorry, I wasn't concentrating.
-->'''Edward''': Exactly. ''Exactly''. That's your trouble, your ''entire'' trouble. You never concentrate and look what happens. Nasty soggy paper! An' I haven't even read it.

-->'''Blanche''': Hello, Stella.
-->'''Stella''': "Miss Hopkins", if you don't mind.

-->'''Aunt Una''': Of course, I'm sick. ''Sick'' with... ''sick'' with love! I '''love''' him.

-->'''Gladys''': Ours not to be quite sure, ours but to... to... ''kill'' or ''cure!''

--->'''Blanche''': You ''dare'' to suggest that... my father... and you, his secretary-?
--->'''Stella''': Confidential secretary, cookie. Hmm, ''very'' confidential.

-->'''Janet''': And I do think I'm doing ''awfully'' well, don't you?
-->'''Ian''': Oh, ''awfully''.

-->'''Blanche's Voiceover''': I hated them ''all'' for their hypocrisy and swore there and then that I would not be a hypocrite. I too would revolt against convention, but openly. Mine would be a ''naked revolt''.

-->'''Janet''': Won't Edward be surprised when I pass the test first time?
-->'''Ian''': He won't be the only one.
-->'''Janet''': Hmm?
-->'''Ian''': Jo, Gladys, lovely surprise for everybody.

-->'''Jo''': I don't know if I can ever match up to Millicent Jones, Daddy, but I think you might be proud of me just the same, and quite soon, but... be... be patient with me.

-->'''Jo''': Nobody with any common sense could possibly-
-->'''Edward''': People don't have sense! They have nasty minds!

-->'''Dr. Manners''': Mr. Halliday, it's painfully obvious to me, and to the whole population of this district, that the character of Dr. Adam Gay is intended to represent me.
-->'''Edward''': [[SarcasmMode That hadn't occurred to me]].
