Marian Wilks : What do you do?
Jack Sugden : Oh, nothing much.
Marian Wilks : "Oh, nothing much" what?
Jack Sugden : Nothing much anything.
[Gestures to cafetière]
Jack Sugden : Is there any more?
Marian Wilks : I think so. You're an expert at that, aren't you?
Jack Sugden : I'm an expert at nothing.
Marian Wilks : There you go again. Soon as I try and pin you down to something about yourself, you either change the subject or turn it into a joke. It's just as Joe said: no-one can ever get anything out of you.
Jack Sugden : From empty cans you get emptiness.
Marian Wilks : You see? You're not empty; you know you're not. You're hiding behind this attitude.
Jack Sugden : Don't we all?
Marian Wilks : Oh, Jack!
Jack Sugden : No, I mean it. Everybody has their "attitude" - it's what living is. Getting an attitude. Learning to hide.
