Gloria: It's not what I call him. I've given it a good airing, but it's still a little bit musty.
Grace: Oh no, it's perfect. It's just as I imagined it. A perfect home for a perfect family.
Gloria: Well, let's hope they make us an offer.
Grace: A sense of humour. I like that.
Gloria: Good, because you're going to need one.
Grace: There you go again.
Gloria: How are we going to get that upstairs?
Walter: Oh, we'll find a way.
Holly: What do you think is in it?
Glorai: I don't know and I didn't ask. Holly!
Holly: I just want to know what's in it.
Grace: Memories, dear. A life time of memories. And a few clothes. You must be Holly. My, you are tall. You must get that from your father's side. And…
Holly: Oh, this is David.
David: Hi.
Grace: Oh! The women in this family certainly share a taste for good looking fellows.
Walter: Holly, are you taking the weight?
Holly: This way.
Grace: A sharp left, darling.
Gloria: Watch it, watch it.
Walter: Sorry, sorry. Now this door's very narrow.
Walter: Well now, I don't think the occasion should go by without a few words.
Gloria: Walter.
Walter: Just a few words, Gloria. Lord, thank you for this day. And thank you for bringing us Grace, who has joined our family today and who we hope will be very happy here. And thank you also for Carl... Mark...
Holly: David.
Walter: David, David, who we've also only just met, actually, but who seems to be a very... ah... nice young man indeed.
Gloria: Amen. Alright, who would like a cup of tea?
Holly: Yeah, we'd better get going.
Grace: Thank you for that, Walter. Vicar, sir.
Walter: Oh, you're very welcome, Grace. I meant every word.
Gloria: Thank you.
