Vera Drake quotes

  • Vera: Hello George. Oh, hello Peggy, are you off work today?

    George: [to Peggy] Sit up then.

    Vera: Oh, she's all right, George, bless her. This has slipped a bit. I hope she isn't taken bad again, is she? Well I'll make a fresh pot of tea. And you'll want a biscuit Peggy, I shouldn't wonder.

  • Vera: [to Jamaican Girl] What you need now is a nice, hot cup of tea. Take care, dear. Ta dah.
