Call the Midwife (TV Series)

Episode #2.4 (2013)

Jason Watkins: Rev. Applebee-Thornton

Quotes 

• Rev. Applebee-Thornton : It was in the silences at the dinner table that I felt my parents' hatred for each other. So, I grew accustomed to filling them. I know it can be difficult to bear. At boarding school I was often without company. I talk, so that I won't know what the silence holds.

• Rev. Applebee-Thornton : [nervously]  Should I perhaps tidy round a little? Would that be useful?

  Mr. Giddings : No. Does my house offend you, Vicar?

  Rev. Applebee-Thornton : Oh, it's Reverend, actually. No, it does not.

  Mr. Giddings : Well, it bloody well does, me.
