Albert Finney Quotes:
Jack: Fortnight. There's one thing about him though, you know, he'll always help me if I'm in any sort of trouble. If anyone does owt' against me, I can always rely on him. I was with him and his pal and we set on a bloke... never want to do 'owt like that again.
Arthur Seaton: Aye but people like that should be careful though, never to pick on the wrong bloke. I saw a fight like that once, this was with two soldiers an' all. They set on to a bloke and he wiped the floor with the both of them. It was horrible, blood all over the place, I had to turn me 'ead away.
Arthur Seaton: I've still got some fight left in me, not like most people.
Bert: Not saying you ain't, but where does all this fighting get you?
Arthur Seaton: Have you ever seen where not fighting get you?
Arthur Seaton: I dunno, work next week. I'll be hard at it, sweating me guts out at that lathe. It's a hard life if you don't weaken.
