• There’s a lot of wild talk about possible labour trouble […] Don’t worry. We’ve passed the worst of it
• … the Titanic […] absolutely unsinkable
• some people say that war is inevitable. And to that I say - fiddlesticks!

• … when this comes out at the inquest, it isn’t going to do us much good
• I’ve got to cover this up as soon as I can
• There’ll be a public scandal
• Perhaps we may look forward to the time when Crofts and Birling’s are no longer competing but are working together
• … we don’t guess - we’ve had experience- and we know
• there’s a fair chance I might find my way into the next honour list
• More money to spend and time to spare than I had when I was Eric’s age
• … a man has to mind his own business and look after himself and his own
• It’s one of the happiest nights of my life
• Your father and I have been friendly rivals in business for some time now
• Germans don’t want war
• … clothes mean something quite different to a women
• I’d give thousands - yes, thousands
• Probably a Socialist or some sort of crank
• … the famous younger generation who know it all. And they can’t even take a joke -
