Betty and Syd - Start Flashcards
A
Beginning
Syd! Syd, are you ready yet?
We hear a grunt from upstairs.
They’ll all be here, y’know. They’ll all be here if you don’t get a move on
(off) All right, all right , what harm will it do if Im not quite ready? Bloody hell Betty. Its only family we’re expectin– not the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother I wouldn’t mind. But our Reeny is a different matter. And listen, don’t you go babbling about the price of my new suite.
How can I tell her how much the suite cost when I don’t know meself?
Of course you know how much it was. You signed for it in the shop.
Yes, I signed for it. But when I signed it cost two hundred and twenty quid. When Mrs Devlin was here the other night it’d gone up eighty quid;
when y’ showed it to Barbara Mac it was a three hundred and fifty quid job.
How did I come to marry someone so stupid? Two hundred and twenty pounds, Sydney, with HP on top of that. With VAT on top of that. You try and make me look cheap in front of our Reeny an’ I’ll swing for you. And she won’t left a finger to help. Sandra!
