Henry Hobson:
My good class customers are not going to buy their boots from a man who's stood up in open court and had to acknowledge he was "overcome" in a public street.
Willie Mossop:

Maggie Hobson:
Aye, you'll see your name in t'Salford Reporter, Father.
Henry Hobson:

Willie Mossop:
Ee by gum, think of that! Why, it's very near worthwhile to be ruined, for t'pleasure of reading about yourself in t'printed paper.
