Quotes 

• Susan Harper : Yes?

  Amanda : Oh, I've, er... I've come to pick up Nick.

  Susan Harper : Oh, right. Nick, Amanda's mum's here!

  [Amanda gives stern look] 

  Susan Harper : *You* are Amanda, aren't you?

• Amanda : I must say, Susan, that when Nick invited me to meet his family, I had no idea how interesting they'd be!

  Susan Harper : Not really.

• Susan Harper : I was just curious... as we're all around the same general age area, have you had any children?

  Amanda : What, apart from your son?

• Susan Harper : Let's drink to marriage!

  Ben Harper : No, no...

  Amanda , Nick Harper : Marriage!

  Ben Harper : Marriage... marriage...

  Susan Harper : And fidelity!

  Ben Harper , Amanda , Nick Harper : Fidelity!

  Susan Harper : Oh, and not tarting around behind your husband's back!

  Nick Harper : I think she's got the picture now, mum!

• Amanda : Honestly, Susan! You don't have to come the school ma'am with me! You must've had a few flings in your time!

  Ben Harper : She most certainly has not!

  Susan Harper : You seem very sure about that, Ben!

  Ben Harper : Er, excu... Oh, you've had a few flings then, have you?

  Susan Harper : Perhaps - while you were parachuting into Berlin!

  Ben Harper : Well, perhaps! Perhaps I couldn't care less!

  Susan Harper : Perhaps if you weren't so careless, we wouldn't have had Nick in the first place!

• Amanda : This is why I prefer younger men - no strings, no baggage.

  Ben Harper : Baggage? You calling my wife baggage?

  Amanda : No, I did not!

  Ben Harper : Look, she did not.

  Susan Harper : I have no idea what you're cacking on about, you idiot!

  Ben Harper : Idiot? Who are you calling an idiot?

  Susan Harper : Why not, if you think I'm a terrible cook?
