Quotes 

• Dawn : The next one's ours. Either it hits us or it goes past. Oh, please, God, not on us. Drop it on Mrs. Evans. She's a cow!

• Dawn : Where are my stockings? I can't find my stockings.

  Grace Rowan : Dawn, pet, they've started a war.

  Dawn : Have they? That's not my fault. I still need my stockings, don't I?

  Clive Rowen : I don't want to hear about your stockings!

• Molly : Well, a few bombs might wake up this country.

  Grace Rowan : Take more than a few bombs to wake up Dawn on a Sunday morning.

  Dawn : This phoney war gets on my nerves.

  Grace Rowan : Morning.

  Dawn : If we're going to have a war, I wish they'd start.

• Dawn : I'm not going to die in here like a rat in a trap!

• Grace Rowan : Susie, wakey-wakey. Quick. Quick as lightning, now. There we go. Billy. Billy. Come on, Billy. Wakey-wakey. Quick, quick. Quick, march. Dawn. Dawn. Air raid. Dawn, what have you been up to? Come on.

  Dawn : I'm not going to that shelter. I'd sooner die!

• Bruce : Are those some kind of new stockings you're wearing?

  Dawn : They might be.

  Bruce : I mean, no garters! They just kind of - disappear up your ass.

  [Dawn slaps him] 

• Bruce : [after a jitterbug dance]  That was great for me. How was it for you?

  Dawn : Bit too quick.

  Bruce : Well, now we can do it slow.

• Dawn : I want him! I want him so much! I'll kill myself if I don't have him.

  Grace Rowan : There, there. Oh, my baby. Go, if you want. What does it matter? We may all be dead tomorrow.

• Bruce : [naked, in bed, after lovemaking]  That was some air raid.

  Dawn : Air raid?

  Bruce : You didn't feel the house rock? You must have seen all those shell bursts.

• Mrs. Evans : Do you know what they're doing now?

  Dawn : Still not been hit, Mrs. Evans?

  Mrs. Evans : Touch wood.

  Dawn : We had a near miss the other night.

  Mrs. Evans : Dropping diseased rats on the bomb sites.

  Dawn : Billy found this tiny little parachute. So that's what it was for.

• Mrs. Evans : Didn't I see you with a soldier, Dawn?

  Dawn : Just doing my bit for the war effort.

  Grace Rowan : I won't have this vulgar talk in my house.

  Dawn : It's only a joke, Mummy.

• Dawn : Don't get smoochy. You'll spoil it.

• Faith : No word from Bruce, my pet?

  [Dawn shakes her head no] 

  Faith : All men are beasts, darling.

  Dawn : That's what I like about them.
