Oliver Smallbridge : [shutting the French windows to keep out the bonfire smoke] I'll wait till the Test Match and run my old motor mower. Completely ruins his television picture!

Oliver Smallbridge : Whose side are you on?
Lyn Smallbridge : The side of reason, sanity...
Oliver Smallbridge : Oh, I see, my own daughter is against me now!
Lyn Smallbridge : Oh, I'm against him too. Mr Peel is as barmy as you are.
Oliver Smallbridge : Now, look here, Lyn.
Lyn Smallbridge : I'm sorry, I take it back. Mr Peel is not as barmy as you are!

Lyn Smallbridge : Well, I told them that we love each other, and that they were being unreasonable, and, I also told them a little white lie...

Simon Peel : Here's to *my* grandchild, and the happy mother and father to be.
