Aunt Ada: It's not 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 - get cracking so I can talk to her. What's your name duck?
Brenda: Brenda.

Mrs. Bull: I'll clout you one of these days!
Arthur Seaton: Ta'ra fatty.

Doreen: What did you do that for?
Arthur Seaton: Dunno, just felt like it I suppose.
Doreen: Maybe one of those houses will be for us.
Arthur Seaton: I know.
Doreen: You shouldn't throw things like that.
Arthur Seaton: It won't be the last one I throw.

Doreen: What's the black stuff you're drinking, it looks like treacle.
Arthur Seaton: Beer and stout, try a drop.
Doreen: No thanks, I think I tasted that once but it was horrible.
Arthur Seaton: I'm not a boozer either but I'm going fishing this afternoon and I like a drop beforehand.

Brenda: Been 'ere long?
Arthur Seaton: 10 minutes, was just looking at the lovely view.
Brenda: Better get down to earth then, adn't you?
Arthur Seaton: How did you go on at Aunt Ada's, it go off all right?
Brenda: No it didn't, was just one of them old wive's tales, she made me sit in a hot bath for 3 hours, had to drink a pint of gin. I'll never go through that again, it was terrible, I thought I was gonna die. And it didn't work.

Brenda: Having a good time?
Arthur Seaton: Not bad, I'm with some pals from work, had to come out or I'd go crackers, I've been worrying about you all week.
Brenda: Well you can stop worrying.
Arthur Seaton: Is it all right then, did you see that doctor?
Arthur Seaton: Oh yeah, I went, I didn't stay.
Arthur Seaton: What?
Brenda: I've decided to have it and face whatever comes of it.

Brenda: Hey Arthur, what a time we had last night.
Arthur Seaton: It seems years... aye you're lovely Brenda.

Brenda: I believe you, thousands wouldn't.

Brenda: Of all the liars, you're the biggest I've ever known.
Arthur Seaton: I always was a liar, a good 'un and all.
Brenda: Liars don't prosper.

Brenda: Somebody told me the other day they'd seen you coming out of the pictures with a young girl.
Arthur Seaton: It's a bloody lie then.
Brenda: Do you think I'm daft Arthur? I can tell you don't go on me as much as you used to .
Arthur Seaton: That isn't true Brenda, you know I like you a lot.
Brenda: I know you, I can see that a mile off.
Arthur Seaton: Not my fault if you don't believe me, is it?
Brenda: You know the trouble with you, you don't know the difference between right and rong, and I don't think you ever will.
Arthur Seaton: Maybe I won't, but I don't want anybody to teach me either.
Brenda: You'll learn one day.
Arthur Seaton: We'll see, but it's now that matters isn't it, we've still got to clear this mess up.
