Francis Bigger : [seeing the ward sister being carried into the laundry room]  Fancy her wearing red ones under all that! Mr. Roper : [on seeing Bigger come out of his room]  Get back in there and keep quiet! Francis Bigger : [approaching Roper]  Oh. What's this? The revolt of the slaves? Mr. Roper : Something like that. We've got some business to settle with Tinkle! Francis Bigger : [pointing to his room]  You want me to stay in there? Never! Up the rebels, and to hell with Burgundy. Mr. Roper : Where? Francis Bigger : Bur-gun-dy!

Charlie Roper : What they brought you in here for then. Francis Bigger : Oh just some pain in the back. Its a ooh, ooh dear. Charlie Roper : Last bloke in that bed had the same thing. Francis Bigger : Did he? Charlie Roper : Right up to the end. Francis Bigger : Well that's cheerful. I say one thing for them it's a nice warm bed. Charlie Roper : Should be, they only took him out half an hour ago.

Dr. Tinkle : It's an enigma, Matron, an enigma. Mr. Roper : I'm not having another one of those.
