Saturday Night and Sunday Morning1960

Arthur Seaton:
It costs too much to get married, a lump sum down and your wages a week for life.

Bert:
Most blokes ain't got 'owt else to work for, have they?

Arthur Seaton:
No. I have though. I work for the factory, income tax and the insurance already, that's enough for a bit. They're up you right, left and centre. After they've skinned you dry you get called up to the army and get shot to death.

Bert:
That's how things are Arthur, no good going crazy over it. All you can do is go on working and hope that some day something good will turn up.
