- Lizzie Birdsworth: Bea'll have your guts for garters. She hates anything to do with drugs.
- Maggie May Kennedy: Oh, she'll just think I was an old lady led up the garden path.
- Lizzie Birdsworth: I hope so. If she finds out that you knew you'll be wishing you were back in Halletasee!
- Colleen Powell: Perhaps it's made Mrs Reynolds have second thoughts about her star pupil. First Smith, then Belman. Aha, whenever there's trouble Joanie's name keeps cropping up!
- Tracey Belman: Miss Ferguson, I'm about to go to court. Well I didn't want to go without saying anything.
- Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson: I think you've said more than enough.
- Tracey Belman: I just wanted to say I'm sorry. Look I know what you think of me and I know you probably don't believe me, but I am really sorry.
- Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson: Save your apologies for the judge.
- Tracey Belman: I saw Mrs Reynolds in the corridor earlier. I told her how grateful I am.
- Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson: Oh yeah. You've had gratitude written all over you since you first came in here.
- Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson: I am. If it hadn't been for you I could've been stuck in this chair for the rest of my life.
- Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson: Spare me the violins.
- Maggie May Kennedy: Florida's not all it's cracked up to be; too many old people for my liking. And the sun always ruins your complexion. Well, look at Lizzie's skin there. Too much sun and cigarettes, eh Lizzie?
- Lizzie Birdsworth: [looking hurt] That's a loada bull. They never did me any harm. I've just got lotsa character, that's all.
- [Lizzie returns to the laundry after collecting the dirty linen from the maternity block]
- Phyllis Hunt: Hey where have you been? You've been gone for ages. What have you been doing, reading War and Peace to the kids?
- Lizzie Birdsworth: Watch your bloody language. At least they know how to respect an old lady!
