Quotes 

• Rebecca Welton : [to Roy and Keeley, after a double date with her new boyfriend]  Well?

  Keeley Jones : I think he's a really good match. He's age-appropriate, financially appropriate... he's not shy.

  Rebecca Welton : I love that about him.

  Keeley Jones : Totally.

  Roy Kent : [rolls his eyes]  Fucking hell.

  Rebecca Welton : Is there a problem?

  Roy Kent : Tell the truth. He's fine. That's it. Nothing wrong with that, most people are fine. But it's not about him. It's about why the fuck you think he deserves you. You deserve someone who makes you feel like you've been struck by fucking lightning. Don't you dare settle for "fine".

• Rebecca Welton : You know, my friend Flo, once told me that intimacy was all about leaving yourself open to being attacked.

• John : And remember, this is when tickets to Stomp were tough to get. Anyway, this tall redhead pushes in front of me, so I tap him on the shoulder, he turns around and goes, "Is there a problem?" I go, "Yeah, there's a problem." He goes, "It's all right. It's all right. I know the choreographer." Guess who it was...

  [Rebecca's mind wanders as Aimee Mann's "Wise Up" plays. She looks at other people in the café, a couple in love, one together but detached, and a woman alone but content] 

  John : Is everything okay, Rebecca?

  Rebecca Welton : It's j-- dating is so odd, isn't it?

  John : Yeah.

  Rebecca Welton : I mean, we are all strangers essentially. So I mean, how is it ever possible to truly feel safe with someone? I suppose you can't. You know, my friend, Flo, once told me that intimacy was all about leaving yourself open to being attacked.

  John : Oh.

  Rebecca Welton : Isn't that horrible?

  John : I've not heard that one.

  Rebecca Welton : But I mean, it does make you realize how scary it is, allowing yourself to be intimate again. I mean, you really do have to be brave. And that's it right there, isn't it? I need to be brave enough to let someone... wonderful love me, without fear of being hurt and without fear of being... safe.

  John : Sorry... Are you breaking up with me?

  Rebecca Welton : I'm so sorry. I-- I actually didn't know I was -- going to do that.

  John : [Stunned and hurt, but stoic]  No, no, it's... it's all right.

  Rebecca Welton : Coffees are on me.

  John : Yeah, fair enough. Cheers.
