- [to the other women]
- Meg Morris: You women would get a lot more work done if you got your minds above your navels for once.
- [to Marlene]
- Meg Morris: Now you keep your sexual fantasies to yourself or you'll be on a charge. I've had enough of your filth!
- [Meg leaves]
- Marlene Warren: Gawd, what did I do?
