• 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.

• Molly : Bloody gin. Always makes me cry!

  [cries] 

  Mac : Couple of crossed wires. She only weeps when she's happy.

  Grace Rowan : Oh, stop it, Molly. You'll start me off now.

  [weeps] 

• Molly : God, how I hate all this scrimping and squalor.

  Grace Rowan : I don't mind it. It was harder before the war, trying to keep up appearances. Now, well, it's patriotic to be poor.

• Molly : Well, I'm looking for something with a little - oomph.

• Grace Rowan : You know something, Molly? I like it on my own. It's true. I never got used to sharing my bed. Not really.

  Molly : I love a man in bed. The smell of him. The hairiness rubbing against you. The weight of him. Then when they do it to you in the night and you're not sure if you're dreaming or if it's really happening. That's the best! No guilty feelings.
