- Mrs. Marling: Ah! Mr. Milligan!
- Terry Milligan: Mrs. Marling!
- Mrs. Marling: Come in. I want a word with you.
- Terry Milligan: Do you now?
- Mrs. Marling: Mr. Milligan, I must ask you to be out of here by the end of the week.
- Terry Milligan: Ah. Well, Mrs. Marling, I can't say that I'm sorry. Our relationship has not been exactly happy, has it? And this house...
- Mrs. Marling: Well, what about it?
- Terry Milligan: All I can see, is that the Council would have to rebuild it before they could condemn it.
- Mrs. Marling: I beg your pardon!
- Terry Milligan: I wouldn't mind if it were clean. I washed the windows this morning - and guess what? Glass! I always thought they were boarded up!
- Mrs. Marling: Don't you be so funny, I'll have you know, I run a clean boarding house.
- Terry Milligan: I don't intend to argue with you, my good woman.
- Mrs. Marling: And I am not your good woman.
- Terry Milligan: Perhaps you're right.
- Mrs. Marling: 'Ere, 'ere, just a minute, what about my rent?
- Terry Milligan: Rent?
- Mrs. Marling: Yes. Six weeks. That's fifteen pound ten plus five bob extra for baths.
