Alvin:  Give us a hand .
Nora Batty: I do n't want any familiarities if I come close .
Alvin: Familiarities ! I 'd sooner grab a hot welding rod .
Nora Batty: You 'll think you have grabbed _ one _ if you try anything on with me .
Alvin: You ! You 're bad - tempered , foul and horrible .
Nora Batty: Yes , and that 's just on the surface . Underneath I can be really unpleasant .
