• Alf Garnett : Well, I mean, see if we go into Europe...

  Else Garnett : I thought we was in Europe. I mean, I thought we always have been.

  Alf Garnett : I know that, yer silly moo. I'm not talking about that aspect am I? I'm talking about the Common Market aspect of the going into Europe.

  Alf Garnett : Old Enoch's against it, in't 'e, eh? He don't want no more bloody foreigners over here. We got enough bloody foreigners here as it is. Bloody country's swarming with Eities and Krauts and Froggies and Spagnollies and Brussel Sprouts. All coming over here and taking our jobs off of us, aren't they?

  Else Garnett : Well, we can go over there and take the jobs off of them.

  Alf Garnett : I don't want to go over there, do I?

  Else Garnett : Wish you would.

• Alf Garnett : [tapping newspaper with the headline 'The Million Pound Queen']  Course she needs the money. She's broke, 'Er Majesty.

  Else Garnett : And 'im.

  Alf Garnett : I mean, look at that Royal Ascot. She had to turn up on horse and cart. Everybody else in their bleedin' Rolls Royces. Bloody Wilson. Darlin' 'Arold. He's bankrupted her.

  Alf Garnett : So I say? So I say? Will you shut up you stupid pie-can. Not a question of so I say. It's facts, innit?

  Mike Rawlins : I wouldn't say that.

  Else Garnett : Well, not today anyway. Suppose he's just gone off his rocker. His grandad wasn't all there and his dad was retarded; perhaps it runs in the family.
