Blanche and Ken in “Unfinished Business”

[Ken is showing off his kimono at a dinner party to Deirdre, Liz, Lloyd and Blanche]

Oh, for the love of God!

Ken Barlow (William Roache): Okay. Come on. Let's have it. You've got a problem with this, I should imagine?

A grown man, dressed as a Giesha? Have you gone stark staring mad?

It is no different to a dressing gown. I mean what. Is there a rule? Thou shalt wear terry towelling in the North West of England?

There should be.

Lloyd Mullaney (Craig Charles): Oh come on, Blanche. If a man can't indulge his eccentricities at home, where can he indulge them?

Deirdre Barlow (Anne Kirkbride): I wouldn't mind if he didn't indulge them in front of guests.

Look it's not eccentric, it's Japanese and it makes me feel comfortable.

Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard): Well I'm with the boys. I mean Lloyd wears all manner of weird and wonderful things.

Well that's understandable. [Turns back to Ken) But Ken! Always got to be different. Always sniffing out controversy. Does Tennessee Williams wear kimono?]

Tennessee Williams is dead!

I'm not surprised!
