Hetty Wainthropp: [to Edith about Frank's death] It's all down to luck who goes first, and you lost... and now you're bein' a sore loser.

Chalky White: [after Hetty jokingly says she a policeman in disguise] Now, that's a coincidence 'cause I'm searching too for a deeply rewarding relationship with an intelligent, mature woman. You just might fit the bill.::Hetty Wainthropp: I am the bill... the old bill.
