Value for Money (1955)

Joan Hickson: Mrs. Perkins

Quotes 

• Mrs. Perkins : So you're the actress. No doubt you'll want to see the bedroom. There you are. And that's the bed John Henry breathed his last in. Will you be wanting anything else?

  Ruthine West : Well, if there's time, I would like a bath.

  Mrs. Perkins : A bath! The taps aren't connected up. I suppose I could boil you up a kettle if you're that mucky. Oh and should you need it, it's in the yard.

  Ruthine West : In the yard?

  Mrs. Perkins : But I warn you. Don't pull the chain too hard or you'll get a shower from the tank. It wants seeing to. I'm always telling him.
