Billy: Just because I like ballet doesn't mean I'm a poof, you know.
Mrs. Wilkinson: This'll sound strange, Billy, but for some time now I've been thinkin' of the Royal Ballet School. Billy: Aren't you a bit old, miss? Mrs. Wilkinson: No, not me... you! I'm the bloody teacher!
Dad: Listen, have you noticed anything weird about our Billy lately? Tony: What are you after like, a list?

Mrs. Wilkinson: She must've been a very special woman, your mother. Billy: No she was just me mam.

Billy: Tony, do you ever think about death? Tony: Fuck off.
Dad: I'm bustin' my ass for those 50 pences and you're - look, from now on, you stay here and look out for your Nana. Got that? Good. Grandma: They used to say I could have been a professional dancer if I'd had the trainin'! Dad: WILL YOU SHUT UP? Bi...
