- Colleen Powell: [entering the laundry] Okay, Latham. You are going to learn not to waste my time with lies. Get outside.
- Chrissie Latham: But what have I done? I've told you the truth!
- Colleen Powell: Miss Ferguson was with Mr Faulkner for the whole night and can vouch that he was nowhere near you. Get out
- Chrissie Latham: Oh, that's bloody typical that is. All you screws stick together, don't you? I've told you he was on his own!
- [Powell forces her out of the laundry]
- Chrissie Latham: Is that how you handle an official complaint then?
- Joan: No need for the rest of you women to stop work
- [leaves]
- Bea Smith: [to the other women as she turns back to the press] That silly bitch. Can't even lie properly.
- Lizzie Birdsworth: What's this I hear about Faulkner getting the push?
- Bea Smith: Bloody Chrissie told the governor that he tried to get her in the cot.
- Lizzie Birdsworth: She what? The rotten bitch! He might be a screw but he's not a real bad bloke.
- Doreen Burns: It's alright, Lizzie, 'cause Ferguson was there. She told the truth and got him off the hook.
- Judy Bryant: Yeah. She really put her foot in it this time.
- Lizzie Birdsworth: What do you mean?
- Bea Smith: Oh she went off half cocked as usual. Told Davo he was in the cell with her when he was with Ferguson all night. So they've thrown Chrissie in the pound.
- Judy Bryant: It was lucky for him that Ferguson was there otherwise he would have really been up the creek.
- Lizzie Birdsworth: She's lying.
- Bea Smith: What?
- Lizzie Birdsworth: Well, I had a real badheadache last night so I asked old Faulkner for some of me pills and we were chatting for quite a while. And he was on his Pat Malone!
- Bea Smith: Are you sure it's just that you didn't see Ferguson?
- Lizzie Birdsworth: Of course I'm sure! She wasn't there. And anyway there were only one set of footsteps.
- Bea Smith: [realising something is greatly amiss] Oh is that a fact? Is that a bloody fact.
