• Conway : I've been checking up. He rang her this morning - did you know that? When they were at the studio he sent her flowers every day - did you know that? He's crazy about her, ducky, he's mad about her - he can't keep off it. Before Beth there was that other one - what was her name? Well, it doesn't matter. Till she got fed up with him. He's not much good in bed, I understand.

  Jo Armitage : [Jo tries to leave but Conway grabs her arm]  Let go!

  Conway : You had an abortion, didn't you? Shall I tell you why? Because Beth's a good girl at heart - she would have left him. He made you have it so that he could keep Beth - she told me for God's sake. She's a lovely girl - she's going to starve for me - she's going to starve. Wouldn't even touch her with a bargepole even if she came crawling to me.

  Jo Armitage : I want to go.

  Conway : If he ever sees her again or rings her, I'll fry him, you understand, I'll boil him. You tell him that.

  Jo Armitage : No.

  Conway : You'd better. He's not a grown man, your husband, he's a puking boy. Can't even lay a girl without the whole world knowing it.
