• Edward Swan : [reading one many obscene letters]  "Miss Swan, you bloody fucking old saggy sack of chicken piss. You want fucking in the nose, you old beetle!"

  Edith Swan : Beetle!

  Edward Swan : Edith, you honestly don't think I've been doing this?

  Edith Swan : I don't know anymore. Father, it might not have been her. There are all kinds of people. She was my friend.

  Edward Swan : No! She wasn't your friend. She's a lying slut!

  Bill : Hey, what did you just say?

  Edward Swan : You know she is. Be a man, son!

  Bill : Don't front up to me, old boy, I used to box in bars for cash!

  Rose Gooding : Don't tell that to people, Bill.

  Bill : And you stink out the wash house too!

  Rose Gooding : Bill!

  Bill : I think you're ill, mate!

  Edward Swan : Right!

• Constable Papperwick : "Dear Edith, you foxy-ass old whore." Holy heavens.
