Lee Carter (Stringiant, Bean) Asbestos underpants.
Wendy Downs (Sarah Giant) You shouldn't be worried about a few bits of bone in your bread.
Karina Farnlucher (Witch Whey) What harm can come from five small seeds?
Maggie Farnlucher (Queen Anne) I don't expect my daughter to marry one of your subjects, George, thank you very much.
David Green (King George) Well, Jack my lad, what have you done to deserve this?
Lucy Harris (Jack English) That's what happens to rotten eggs!
Paul Kosinski (Widow English) We're ruined!
John McGregor (Stammers) A little rest might be appropriate before we move on, dear lady.
Brad Nicholls (Pungiant, Dunnit) Come along quietly now, or I'll halve your harmonics!
