[Walter has been beaten up by Billy because he owes him money, but he tells Gracie that he was mugged]

Gracie:
How could you have got yourself into a mess like this?

Walter:
Me? Look, I'm the victim here. Attacked from behind. It's getting rough round these parts. Where are you going?

Gracie:
Where do you think? You *have* been paying Doctor Lloyd every month?

Walter:
What do you think I am?

[Elizabeth comes in]

Elizabeth:
Blood and sand!

Walter:
Oh, don't start, woman.

Elizabeth:
Oh, look at the state of that. You'll never get that clean. You're gonna lose that arm, I'm telling you now.

Gracie:
Keep it clean till I get back.

Elizabeth:
Gangrene. That'll be that. And if it gets hold, that's the end of him.

Gracie:
He won't get gangrene. He might well die of starvation, though.

Walter:
I'll be all right in a few days.

Gracie:
You'll be lucky if you're back to work next month. Look at the state of you.

Elizabeth:
If you don't end up deformed, I'll eat me hat.
