Quotes
-
Janey Harper : Great-grandma was a tart?
Rebecca : Good heavens, no. She was a *prostitute*.
-
Rebecca : It was nice to see Janey, but I think she was looking a little gaunt.
Susan Harper : Oh, I wouldn't worry; it's probably just the heroin. Very much like Michael. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him in weeks. But you know us progressive parents - we just like to see how things pan out.
Rebecca : Why can't you just answer a civilized question?
Susan Harper : I will when you ask me one.
-
Janey Harper : Are you sure vodka Martinis are a good thing to be drinking in your condition?
Rebecca : A Martini is a good thing in any condition.
-
Rebecca : Now tell me, how is young Michael?
Janey Harper : Oh, fine.
Rebecca : And how is the idiot?
Janey Harper : Ugh. Nick's fine too.
Rebecca : No, I mean your father.
-
Susan Harper : Well?
Rebecca : [Pretending she hasn't seen Susan] Who is it? Who spoke? I'm afraid my eyesight isn't what it was!
Susan Harper : Oh, stop it! You know it's me!
Rebecca : Oh, an intruder! My purse is on the kitchen table! Take what you want, but please don't hurt me!
Susan Harper : Good enough for me!
Rebecca : Susan!
Susan Harper : Oh, so now your eyesight's getting better?
-
Rebecca : I just wanted to say since you are here, why don't you sit down?
Susan Harper : No, thank you!
Rebecca : Please, just sit down!
Susan Harper : Nope!
Rebecca : In other words, you won't sit down simply because I've told you to.
Susan Harper : If I sit down, that means you win.
Rebecca : Oh, Susan! You're not still playing that game! You're not a teenager anymore!
[Susan reluctantly sits down]
Rebecca : I win!
-
Susan Harper : Why did you tell Janey about grandma?
Rebecca : I thought you believed in being honest with your children. Progressive parenting and all that.
Susan Harper : Oh, give it a rest!
Rebecca : Well, you never ask my advice about anything.
Susan Harper : I don't have to! You give it anyway!
Rebecca : Martini?
Susan Harper : Thank you.
Rebecca : You drink too much!
-
Rebecca : How is the idiot?
Susan Harper : If you're referring to my eldest son, Nick, he's doing very well and we're very proud of him.
[Knocks back her Martini quickly in disgust]
Rebecca : There isn't enough drink in the world, dear!
-
Nick Harper : Alright, gran?
Rebecca : Oh, God!
Nick Harper : Mum said you're lonely, so I'm all yours for the evening!
Rebecca : Please, no!
Nick Harper : [Juggles a porcelain urn] Wow! Oh, yeah, and she had a message for you! What was it? Erm... Can't remember... Erm... Oh, yeah! That was it: 'She wins!'
