Mrs. Patmore and Daisy in “Unfinished Business”

Daisy?! What in God's name are you doing down here at this hour?

I just wanted to check it were all right. That it hadn't, you know, caved in or anything.

Caved in? It's a cake, not a souflé.

I know, but I've never made a wedding cake before.

Is that the one for tasting?

Yes, Mrs. Patmore. [getting a piece off the shelf]

Well, bring it out, we'll give it a try. [after she and Daisy try a bite and both spit it out] What in God's name do you call this?

I don't know. I did everything that you said. I promise.

Didn't you taste the mixture? [Daisy shakes her head] Well, then I'm afraid it's time to look at Thomas's ingredients. [walks over to counter and tries something and spits it out] Well, that's two thirds plaster dust. Where's the peel? [Daisy hands it to her] This were old when Adam were a boy. So, Thomas was happy to "let it go", was he? Well, it won't go anywhere near me in future. Chuck the whole bally lot out and we'll have to think again.
