Quotes

Vince Pinner : Pen, what's wrong with you?
Penny Warrender : Can't you tell?
Vince Pinner : What?
Penny Warrender : God, what a zonko! Vincent, you are the most cretinous, slow-witted, irritating moron that I've ever come across.
Vince Pinner : Don't mince words with me, Pen. Have you got something to say?
-
Penny Warrender : What have you been doing with yourself today, hmm?
Vince Pinner : Well, I've been window shopping. Looking for new bedding, that sort of thing.
Daphne Warrender : [sarcastically] Pity the army surplus store has closed down.
Vince Pinner : Yes. I imagine you must miss it terribly, Daphne.
-
Penny Warrender : Do you mind if I have a wine?
Vince Pinner : Why not, it's all you've been doing since you got here.
-
Daphne Warrender : What kind of a future would you have with "Thing"? He's an idle, itinerant worker drifting from job to job always on the edge of legality - an ice cream vendor, a used car salesman, and now a bookie.
Penny Warrender : One day Vince will inherit the family business.
Daphne Warrender : That's something to look forward to, isn't it? One day your husband will manage a few scrap metal yards!
Penny Warrender : No he wont. He intends to sell them.
Daphne Warrender : How much do you think he'll get for that?
Penny Warrender : Well, according to his father, at the last audit, they were valued at two and a half million pounds.
Norman Warrender : [shocked] Two and a half million?
Penny Warrender : [smugly] Yes.
Daphne Warrender : [after a long pause] Well, I've said everything I'm going to say. You must do as you think fit, darling.

[Penny is cuddling up to Vince on the sofa]
Penny Warrender : [tenderly and seductively] I used to dream about you. I used to dream about your body.
Vince Pinner : [surprised] Did you?
Penny Warrender : [laughing] I used to dream the police came round and asked me to identify it!
-
Vince Pinner : She loves me, Pen.
Penny Warrender : Yes, but what about me?
Vince Pinner : She's never met you but I think you'd get on like a house on fire.
-
Penny Warrender : It isn't an easy decision. My future hangs in the balance. I can either accept the company's offer, build a career, travel, have total fulfillment and enjoyment of life... or I can marry Vince.
Daphne Warrender : And what are you going to do?
Penny Warrender : I haven't decided yet.
Daphne Warrender : Norman, will you speak to her?
Norman Warrender : You do whatever you think is best, darling.
Daphne Warrender : Keep out of this, Norman.
-
Penny Warrender : How can I find out if he has met someone else?
Elaine : Ask him.
Penny Warrender : He'd lie.
Elaine : How do you know?
Penny Warrender : He's a liar.
-
Vince Pinner : Pen, what I have to say isn't going to be easy. So would you just for this once allow me to speak without interrupting? You see, Pen...
Penny Warrender : What do you mean interrupting? I never interrupt.
Vince Pinner : No. I must be thinking of someone else.
Penny Warrender : Yes, you must.
-
Penny Warrender : The very first night we met you tried your luck.
Vince Pinner : Nothing happened between us for a long time.
Penny Warrender : Only because I wouldn't allow it. I'd known you for exactly one hour. You'd bought me a coca-cola and tried to undo my bra. I can remember thinking "I'm glad I didn't order a Bacardi with it".
