- Howard: Morning, Cleggy.
- Clegg: No.
- Howard: No what?
- Clegg: No anything. Means no; means not yes; means forget it, Howard.
- Howard: All I said was good morning.
- Clegg: Ah, that's very sneaky, Howard. Worming into people; wishing them good morning.
- Howard: What makes you think I'm after something?
- Clegg: Because you're always after something. Could you honestly pass the Pearl test? If I mentioned *her* name would you go whiter than white?
- Howard: That's not fair. I always go white.
- Clegg: Hmm.
- Howard: You've upset me now, Cleggy. You really know how to hurt a person. I was on me way out. All I said was good morning.
- Clegg: And you don't want anything?
- Howard: An apology would be nice.
- Clegg: Good morning, Howard.

- Truly: I think they took advantage of us there.
- Compo: They gave us a good price.
- Truly: We didn't want a motorbike.
- Clegg: We didn't want them doing a lot of talking, either. We'd've had to leave town.
- Compo: This big dillup made it worse.
- Truly: I was trying to explain to them that I was Truly of the yard. Wasn't my fault he thought I said Trudy.
- Compo: Trudy of the yard! Ooh, I like it.
- Truly: I just hope word never gets back to my colleagues in head-tapping and genital redesign. I shall be straight off their Christmas-card list.
- Clegg: Norman Clegg, they'll say, ran off to be a bag-lady.
