Quotes
-
Nanny : Well, you see, food is harder to come by than it was before you went away. She's gone to beg for a chicken.
Michael Wentworth : Beg for a chicken? Can't we pay for one?
Nanny : Nowadays it isn't a matter of whether you can pay for a thing or not - It's a matter of whether you're a friend of the butcher's or not, and if you aren't, heaven help you.
-
Nanny : There is peace in the world again - starting today. And if you two are any sample of what's going to happen then we might as well have the war again right away. Because we've lost the peace - lost it before its ever started.
