Notable dialogue
Ena Sharples: "I've spent a lifetime hearing bad news and I never get used to it."
--
Jack Walker (to Lucille Hewitt): "People like Mrs Sharples and Albert Tatlock - and me - aren't going anywhere. We've given up asking the whys and wherefores of life - we just accept. We cling on to a belief - That's all we've got."
