Ruby: But that was Friday, Mrs Bridges.
Mrs Bridges: It was today as well. I don't think I've ever met a more stupider girl than you, Ruby. You never listen – it goes in one ear, out of the other. And look at you! Just look at you! Torn stockings, dirty hands...
Ruby: I fell over on backstairs, Mrs Bridges.
Mrs Bridges: "Fell over"?! One day you'll fall and break your neck... and good riddance!
