Arthur Seaton : Brother home for long?
Jack : Fortnight. There's one thing about him though, you know, he'll always help me if I'm in any sort of trouble. If anyone does aught against me, I can always rely on him. I was with him and his pal once and we set on a bloke... I never want to do aught like that again.
Arthur Seaton : Aye but people like that should be careful though, never to pick on the wrong bloke. I saw a fight like that once, this was with two soldiers an' all. They set on to a bloke and he wiped the floor with the both of them. It was horrible, blood all over the place, I had to turn me 'ead away.

Jack : You're too much of a troublemaker, Arthur, you should take things as they come and enjoy life.
Arthur Seaton : I do enjoy life, just because I'm not like you don't think I don't.
Jack : I'll see you sometime.
Arthur Seaton : Yeah.

Arthur Seaton : What are you doing round this way then?
Jack : I'm just going to press shop, I'm, I'm on days now.
Arthur Seaton : I thought you might have been coming to see me.
Jack : There's no need of that is there?
Arthur Seaton : In't there. Haven't you thought them squaddies had killed me.
Jack : I don't know what you're talking about.
Arthur Seaton : I didn't think you would. That's the sort of bloke you are, in't it, till you get bashed in the face then you squeal like a stuck pig.
Jack : You caused a lot of trouble between me and Brenda, you can't deny it neither, it weren't right.
Arthur Seaton : You don't have to tell me what's right and what isn't. How's Brenda anyway?

Arthur Seaton : Think of number one, share and share alike's no good.
Jack : You wouldn't think like that though if you won the pools though, would you?
Arthur Seaton : Wouldn't I? I'd see the family right but nobody else. If I got a stack of begging letters like most blokes do, you know what I'd do with them?
Jack : What?
Arthur Seaton : Make a bonfire.
