Quotes 

• Aunt Ada : He settled her though, threatened to chuck her off Trent Bridge.

  Bert : Oh aye, I'd forgot that.

  Aunt Ada : She thought it were better to settle for a quid a week out of court rather than get a good wash.

• Bert : You should have been with us.

  Aunt Ada : Our Ethel clicked with a bloke and he bought us drinks all round, the whole gang of us.

  Bert : Aye, he must have got through a good 5 quid, soft bastard. Still he had a car so I suppose he could afford it.

• Aunt Ada : You can't beat a bit of fun, can you Arthur.

• Arthur Seaton : How's Johnny getting on in Australia?

  Aunt Ada : Well you know Arthur, I reckon Johnny's a lot better off out there, he never did well in this country, did he.

  Arthur Seaton : No, he always was a good worker though, I know that.

• Aunt Ada : Them was rotten days.

  Arthur Seaton : I know, it won't happen again though, I can tell you that.

  Bert : I was talking to a bloke the other day at the pit, he's always going on you know 'you can't beat the good old days'. So I got 'old of me pick and I said to him - 'you tell me anything else about them good old days as you call them and I'll split your stupid head open' - I would too.

• Aunt Ada : Look at him, he can't take his eyes off that young girl over there.

  Arthur Seaton : Not me, I'm courting already. I was looking at the calendar.

  Aunt Ada : I believe you.

• Arthur Seaton : I thought I'd come and see you, I'm a bit worried about something.

  Aunt Ada : Why, what would a good-looking chap like you have to worry about?

  Arthur Seaton : It's not that I'm worried Aunt Ada, I never worry - you know that. But it's this mate of mine at work, he's got a young woman in trouble and he don't know what to do about it.

  Aunt Ada : That's a daft thing to do, couldn't he have been a bit more careful? Well he'll just have to face the music like our Dave did. Give me that kettle.

  Arthur Seaton : But isn't there something as can be done, I mean sometimes people get rid of it by taking things don't they?

  Aunt Ada : What do you know about that?

  Arthur Seaton : I read about it in Sunday papers.

• Aunt Ada : It's you, in't it, it's you as is in trouble.

  Arthur Seaton : Well it is if you want to know

  Aunt Ada : I once knew a woman who got sent to prison for doing something like that. I'm sure I don't know what to tell you.

  Arthur Seaton : I thought you'd be able to help me.

  Aunt Ada : Thougth I'd be able to help you just like that. You brainless loon, you ought to have more bloody sense, can't expect to get out of fixes as easy as that.

  Arthur Seaton : I've got nobody else to turn to.

  Aunt Ada : Why don't you marry her if she's a nice girl.

  Arthur Seaton : She's already married.

  Aunt Ada : You are in a bloody fix aren't you.

• Aunt Ada : It ain't right is it, I think men get away with murder.

  Brenda : They do, don't they.

  Arthur Seaton : I don't know that much.

  Aunt Ada : Don't be such a big 'ead - and get cracking so as I can talk to her. What's your name duck?

  Brenda : Brenda.
