Coronation Street1960

Emily Nugent:
I'm quite capable of deciding for myself what I can or can not do!

Norris Cole:
Oh well, don't blame me when you're in pot up to your waste!

Emily Nugent:
Oh, stop fussing over me, Norris - you're not my nurse!

[turns to Rita]

Emily Nugent:
Oh, how do you work with this man, all day?

Rita Littlewood:
Well, I've just developed the ability to tune out when he starts wittering.

Emily Nugent:
Oh - can I have lessons?

Norris Cole:
That's the thanks I get, is it? For caring? For running around you for the past week?

Emily Nugent:
Doing what? Lecturing me - no - hectoring me! And the rest of the time you were busy trying to drive away my niece!

Norris Cole:
I think you'll find I was protecting you!

Emily Nugent:
[grits her teeth] Well, if I need protecting, I'll buy a guard dog because I could do with the companionship!
