- Iris Kelly: [voice-over] Maybe I'll have a go at the singing, or maybe I'll work in a flower shop. This woman, she'd got an ad in the paper. Lots of people applied for the job, but she's chosen me.

- Iris Kelly: [voice-over] When I was small my mother was everything to me. I thought she was beautiful, and I wanted to be like her. I used to try and smile, walk and talk just like her; I even practiced laughing like she did. My mother loved flowers, and her favourite flowers were roses. And so she called my sister Rose. And she called me Iris.
