Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Stella : So, how many rooms do you have here?

  Archie : Oh, uh, sixty-seven.

  Stella : Sixty-seven rooms to heat, light and maintain? No wonder you're broke.

  Archie : Never needed to. Believe me, Stella, we've already cut our overheads to the bone. If you can find one example of inefficiency, I will be the first to swing the hatchet.

• Stella : So tell me about Golly. Was he born on the estate?

  Archie : Not exactly. He was hewn out of the same rock as this house. You won't budge him so easily.

  Stella : But he's one of these guys that lives to work, isn't he?

  Archie : You're looking for his weak point.

  Stella : It's standard procedure.

  Archie : According to who? Thatcher's Bumper Book of Strike Busting?

• Stella : [looking at the estate's broken down generator]  What's the matter with it?

  Archie : Well apart from anything else it belongs in a museum.

  Stella : I thought it was in a museum.
