Lance : Pardon?
Sophie : You mean that, it was a good thing?
Lance : What was?
Sophie : Maggie leaving you.
Lance : Eh?
Sophie : What did you mean then, "I won the lottery"?

Lance : Do you know how often we find gold? Never. We never find it. That's what we're looking for. We don't say that; we don't say we're looking for gold; we pretend we're happy, y'know, finding buckles and buttons and crap, but what we're hoping for is gold. Find one piece of gold - something that's been held by a Saxon, or Roman, or one of the other ancient peoples that once roamed this land before us.
