Could we expect to hear offhand words like these now?

They were spoken about a little girl who was joining the boys in a snowball fight:

Her mother: “Do you think she will get hurt?”

Angel: “Probably. But she'll love it.”

Hm. Not sure. It's a different world now; better some ways and worse in others isn't it?

Still a harsh world now, it's just that everything is - on the surface - safe and sanitised 'for your protection'.

Maybe street talk and the law of the jungle don't change that much with time. Lord of the Flies stuff. People are nasty. Kids especially so.

Dudley was a good man.

I loved that movie!

I can't say I remember that bit of dialogue, though.

@DrWatson I think I only caught it the third time I watched the show.
