Nurse Gladys Emmanuel : We'll get married as soon as I can see me way clear. What are your meringues like?
Albert Arkwright : [mock serious] I'm not telling you 'til after we're married. Two can play at that game, y'know.
Nurse Gladys Emmanuel : Y' silly beggar... Anyway, it's your own fault. You won't live with me mother, and I can't leave 'er.
