- Jean: No Madge?
- Rocky: No. She sends her apologies. She...
- [kisses Jean hello]
- Rocky: She's wrestling with the local operatic society at the moment.
- Jean: Well, why is she wrestling the operatic society?
- Rocky: Oh, they're planning a production of "Irma la Douce".
- Jean: Well, I would have thought that Madge would have approved of that.
- Rocky: She does. Trouble is she wants to play Irma.
- Lionel: This could be a long wrestle.
- [first lines]
- Lionel: Damn and blast. Damn and blast!
- Jean: Do you want a hand, Lionel?
- Lionel: I can manage. Thank you.
- Jean: Fine.
- Lionel: Will you come out!
- Judith: Is she the sister?
- Jean: No, she can't be; the sister went to Australia.
- Judith: Well, she looks like her.
- Jean: Unless there's a third sister we know nothing about.
- Judith: That's not very likely, is it?
- Jean: Well, none of it's very likely, is it?
- Lionel: Look, I know you're in there; will you come out?
- Jean: [to Judith] I've just got comfortable.
- Judith: What's the matter, Lionel?
- Lionel: Who said anything was the matter?
- Judith: Fair enough. She could have come back from Australia.
- Jean: What, she only went last week!
- Lionel: All right, it's this stupid printer.
- Judith: Oh, what's the matter with the printer?
- Lionel: It won't print.
- [last lines]
- [Lionel has just been speaking to Rocky on the telephone]
- Jean: Who's buying the house?
- Lionel: *He* is.
- Jean: Oh, that's perfect! He and Madge belong there. For that matter, so do Mrs. Bale and Lol. I don't know why they left it in the first place.
- Lionel: Oh, my God!
- Jean: What?
- Lionel: He gave me the house, and now the old fool's trying to buy it back from me. I'm rounding off a wonderful day by robbing my own father!
