Harold is making Madge a cup of tea to soften her up, but she tells him she'd better get them out of the dance competition or else. But Harold suggests they could actually do the competition and show everyone! Madge isn't impressed, saying they'll make fools of themselves. Anyway, she hasn't got anything to wear. Harold points out that it's only Anson's Corner Community Centre so Madge finally relents, but is shocked to hear that the competition is this Friday!
HAROLD: We will wipe the floor with them, Madge!
MADGE: As long as you don't wipe the floor with me!
Madge hands him a mop to practice with!

JOE: Let's face the facts, boy. You don't like being dumped, and I don't like being dumped on. There's no point crying about it!
TOBY: I wasn't!
Joe tells Toby that he's got to be more of a man - stop hanging around the kitchen and the girls.
JOE: Then we can be real mates.
TOBY: I don't want to be *your* mate, I hate you!
