Quotes 

• Celia : [over tea in a cafe]  So you're not coming to this

  [air quotes] 

  Celia : wedding then?

  Gillian : She did ask me. Only I said we were busy.

  Celia : And aren't you?

  Gillian : [sighs]  I don't think she really wanted me there. I think she only invited me 'cause she thought she should.

  Celia : I think you're being a bit sensitive. If she didn't want you, she wouldn't ask you. You know what she's like.

• Cheryl : [Gillian is working at Greenhough's, carrying an armload of boxes. Cheryl enters the supermarket, wearing her police vest]  Gillian.

  Gillian : Cheryl.

  Cheryl : How's yourself?

  Gillian : Yeah, I'm, I'm alright.

  Cheryl : Oh, bless. I've heard the news.

  Gillian : Which n...

  Cheryl : That you and Robbie's been at it behind me back. Anything you'd like to say to me?

  Gillian : I um...

  Cheryl : You don't know what I'm talking about?

  [pauses] 

  Cheryl : No. I'm sorry, that's not going to wash. It were Robbie that told me hisself.

  [sighs] 

  Cheryl : Yeah, a bit of a domestic about the kitchen, him not wanting to spend money, and me saying, Well, it's just a breeding ground for bacteria. One thing led to another and it all came tumbling out, so... What I'd like to suggest is, next time you're making whoopee, if you could just ask him to wear one of these.

  [She sets a large package of condoms on top of Gillian's boxes] 

  Cheryl : 'Cause obviously, I personally don't want to be picking up anything unpleasant. Oh, and as well, if you're so desperate for sex that you need to borrow other people's fellas, let me give you this.

  [She grins and adds an activated vibrator to Gillian's pile. Ellie, the store manager, and customers are now staring] 

  Cheryl : Yeah, so... There we go. Have a nice day. Mind how you go.

  [Cheryl saunters away, addressing the nearby customers] 

  Cheryl : Careful, now, don't get too close or she'll have your kecks off. I know. And with a face like a bust shoe. She must be releasing the right sort of pheromones, eh? Oh! Like your shoes.
