• Andrew Darling : You're a gremlin, that's what she said.

  Macleod : Who says?

  Andrew Darling : Mrs blathering Barrows. You should hear what she's going to do with the house of MacPherson. Here... what's a gremlin?

  Macleod : You'd better go and see Mr Roberts. Come on.

  Andrew Darling : Ah, Robbie... he's a gremlin.

  Robertson : Will you please stop calling me a gremlin?

• Angela Barrows : [laughing]  Great balls of fire. Is that how you tackle the home market?

  [Points to the display of two male mannequins dressed in traditional English tweeds] 

  Robertson : I don't understand, Mrs. Barrows.

  Angela Barrows : You're selling to 20th century customers. Your display figures must look like 20th century people. That's psychology, Mr. Robertson. I mean, who would want to identify themselves with a couple of scarecrows like that?

  [She then looks puzzled as she finishes speaking and two customers come out of the back and walk out of the store dressed and looking like the mannequins]
