1) At 11:37, the scene with Martin and Mrs. Beardsmore:
Martin: "Paul his name is. Reminds me very much of a boy we had at school. Came two years after I did. He took everyone in. They all thought he was wonderful."
Mrs. Beardsmore: "I pitched down those stairs one Wednesday, I remember. Ooh, I fetched my head such a crack on that boiler."

Mrs. Beardsmore: "Yes, you know who I'm talking about, Mrs Hammond. You ought to try it over this side of the room."
Martin: You see..."

Martin: "Take your feet off the curb please, Johnny. We're supposed to be in the road per se."
