Albert Finney Quotes:
Arthur Seaton: I thought I'd come and see you, I'm a bit worried about something.
Aunt Ada: Why, what would a good-looking chap like you have to worry about?
Arthur Seaton: It's not that I'm worried Aunt Ada, I never worry - you know that. But it's this mate of mine at work, he's got this woman in trouble and he don't know what to do about it.
Aunt Ada: That's a daft thing to do, couldn't he have been a bit more careful? Well he'll just have to face the music like our Dave did.
Arthur Seaton: But isn't there something that could be done, I mean sometimes people get rid of it by taking things don't they?
Aunt Ada: What do you know about that?
Arthur Seaton: I read about it in Sunday papers.
Tom Jones: Sir, I will stand no jesting with this lady's character!
