[Albert is being accused by his union of scuppering other negotiations with management by supporting the women's equal-pay strike] Bartholomew:
As a union we have to remember who comes first. The Communist Party. And Marx himself said "Men write their own history". That's "men", Albert. Albert Passingham:
But didn't he also say "Progress can be measured by the social position of the female sex"? Or was that a different Marx? That was Groucho, was it? [Bartholomew is lost for words] Albert Passingham:
Equal pay across the board. You telling me that ain't worth fighting for? Of course it is, and you know it. I'll tell you something. This Rita has got a bigger set of balls than you three put together. And she ain't scared to lay 'em on the line, neither. And I for one am gonna help her. And if you are what you say you are, an organisation pledged to support its members, then you'll get off your lazy fat arses and you'll help her too. Good fucking evening. [Albert walks out of the office]
