Sid Abbott : [lying in bed in his suit] I feel shocking.
Jean Abbott : So do I. It's no fun sleeping with twelve stone of Harris Tweed - especially when it's drunk!
-
Jean Abbott : I can just see it - the senile Scout troop hits town.
Sid Abbott : What do you mean, senile? We've all grown up to be respectable citizens. One's a waiter, one's a butcher, one's a bank clerk...
Jean Abbott : And one's Trevor - if the rest were monks, he'd make up for it!
-
Jean Abbott : Where on earth did you go?
Sid Abbott : I don't know. We'll just have to wait for the complaints to come in, won't we!
-
[Sid enters the kitchen and the budgie start tweeting]
Sid Abbott : One more tweet and I'll have all your teeth out.

[Sid has found Trevor in the kitchen]
Trevor Lewis : Have you seen my shoes, Sid?

Jean Abbott : [out of shot] Sid.
Sid Abbott : Oh, Blimey, what have I done now?
Sally Abbott : Perhaps you haven't done anything.
Sid Abbott : No. I know that tone of voice. That's definitely a done something voice.
Jean Abbott : [out of shot] *Sid*-Ney!
Sid Abbott : What did I tell you! Coming, darling.
Sid Abbott : [entering the hall] Yes? What?
Jean Abbott : I've discovered one place you were last night.
Sid Abbott : You have? How?
Jean Abbott : I found this in the bathroom!
[shows Sid a LADIES toilet sign]

[Jean has discovered a LADIES toilet sign in the bathroom, which she has handed to Sid]
Jean Abbott : Up to your old tricks again?
Sid Abbott : I beg your pardon?
Jean Abbott : Bringing souvenirs home.
Sid Abbott : Are you implying that I nicked this?
Jean Abbott : Yes!
[She snatches the sign back]
Jean Abbott : I haven't got over last year's annual booze-up - you brought home a belisha beacon!
Sid Abbott : Well, I had to. The only way I could get Trevor home - he wouldn't let go of it!
-
[Jean has followed Sid into the kitchen]
Sid Abbott : [indicating the LADIES toilet sign] You're so sure it was me. Perhaps it's Mike's.
Mike Abbott : [walking in with a GENTLEMENS toilet sign] Look what I found in the loo!
-
Sally Abbott : [walking in through the back door with a Met Police No Parking Sign] Look what I found by the back door!
Sid Abbott : That must be Trevor - he's like a blooming squirrel!
-
Sid Abbott : [Jean has placed Sid's trilby on his head] What did you do that for?
Jean Abbott : Apart from the briefcase, it's the only thing missing!

[Trevor has left, and Sally has come in]
Sally Abbott : Did you come in alone?
Sid Abbott : Of course I came in alone.
Sally Abbott : You do a very good duet, daddy.
Sid Abbott : Would you mind stopping the chattering? It's worse then a blooming aviary in here with you and him.
