Quotes:

[first lines]
[the crowd is singing "We Shall Not Be Moved"]
Lucy Trent: Tonight, the lights have gone out in Flatby. They have no electrical power, but as you can see by the crowd behind me they still have people power, and a very live current of optimism to keep the light of independence shining. Lucy Trent, News at 10, Flatby.
[pause]
Lucy Trent: Am I clear?
[Lucy swings round, hitting the Tramp with a roundhouse]
Tramp: Wough.
Lucy Trent: You revolting little man!
