• Marian Wilks : You think I'm a child too, don't you?

  Jack Sugden : Do I?

  Marian Wilks : Just someone to to play with. I'm sorry, but it isn't a game to me.

  Jack Sugden : You are a child. You ever known any child not take any game seriously? There's no such thing as a game to children. Oh, they play alright but, my God, they play to win. Playing's a deadly serious business. Then they grow up and get on with the serious business of living. Until one day they wake up and realise that they're not going to win. That it was only a game after all. No big prizes at the end. That's life: a great big game. Here endeth the first lesson.
