[Last lines]
Jill Swinburne : [surveying the beauty of the countryside hills] I look at this and I can't work out how we've turned all this into that lot back there, where we've come from. Where did we go wrong?
Trevor Chaplin : Precincts and motorways and takeaways?
Jill Swinburne : And kids trying to sell cavity wall insulation by telephone.
Trevor Chaplin : And getting mixed up with conmen and bank robbers!
Jill Swinburne : And you saying 'I will steal for my child's education' and everybody cheering! Nobody should have to steal.
Trevor Chaplin : I'll tell you what went wrong.
Jill Swinburne : Go on.
Trevor Chaplin : People don't hear the music!
Jill Swinburne : [Amused] Back to music!
Trevor Chaplin : [Looking at First Born] Certainly! What else is there? *He* can hear it!
Jill Swinburne : Bix?
Trevor Chaplin : And Duke and Bird and Prez.
Jill Swinburne : The Beiderbecke Connection!
Trevor Chaplin : That's the 'Sanity Clause': you only have to listen.
Jill Swinburne : You know how to listen, don't you? You just put your ears together. So what do we do now, Butch?
Trevor Chaplin : Hang about... watch the sunset.
Jill Swinburne : Better still, we could walk into the sunset!
Trevor Chaplin : [Protesting] Walk?
Jill Swinburne : Yes!
Trevor Chaplin : Hell's teeth - have you seen the sunsets around here? They're miles away! I'm not walking!
Jill Swinburne : Alright, we'll *drive* into the sunset!
Trevor Chaplin : Howay, then!

Trevor Chaplin : Yes Inspector, there are only two kinds of people in this world: Those who hear the music and those who don't.
Jill Swinburne : The cool and the uncool.

Mr. Wheeler : [He has received an unexpected parcel containing a huge amount of cash] There was a note inside - I shall read it you. 'Perhaps this will help the school repair the gymnasium roof. Do give my best wishes to Mrs. Swinburne, Mr. Chaplin and their First Born. Tell them that I still envy their simplicity. All of this is, as they will realise, a joke.' There is no signature.
Trevor Chaplin : Probably anonymous.
Mr. Wheeler : What am I supposed to do with this money?
Jill Swinburne : Repair the gymnasium roof.
Mr. Wheeler : Certainly not - it's out of the question!
Trevor Chaplin : [Feigning helpfulness] You could get some estimates!

Trevor Chaplin : [Annoyed when the phone starts to ring at 11pm] We are not at home! We are in bed discovering new 'zones' and tomorrow we are going to run away into the hills!
Jill Swinburne : [Not entirely seriously] You're amazing when you are masculine and powerful!
Trevor Chaplin : Am I? You mean like 'macho'?
Jill Swinburne : No, I mean like 'silly'!
Trevor Chaplin : Fair enough.
