Quotes
-
Abi Harper : If cows sleep standing up and sit down when it rains, what do they do if it rains while they're sleeping?
Susan : [Stands in silence]
Abi Harper : I know! It is a real brain-teaser!
-
Abi Harper : How many fingers am I holding up?
Susan : Abi, I can't see!
Abi Harper : I'll give you a clue: it's between one and three!
Susan : Oh, for God's sake!
Abi Harper : Don't feel so bad. It was two.
-
Abi Harper : Maybe I should ring Ben and let him know.
Susan : No, no, Abi! No, Abi! You mustn't! If he finds out my response to seeing Michael in bed with a girl was to get hysterical blindness, then he'll think I responded... hysterically.
-
Susan : I don't want him thinking I'm an uptight reactionary just because my eyes are prudish.
Abi Harper : Your eyes aren't prudish. They're more periwinkle blue.
-
Abi Harper : Your mother's gone blind because she's seen the unseeable: your messy room! She didn't see the girl you had up there, though!
Susan : Yes, I did. But you know, I'm cool with that.
Michael : Oh, right! So, cool, you've gone blind? You're so selfish!
Nick Harper : Hey, mate! Do you not feel bad that you've made mum go blind, alright? Yeah? Because the important thing is... YOU SCORED! GET IN! YEAH!
-
Abi Harper : Oh, Susan, you're wonderful! You never let anything get you down!
Susan : Thank you, dear.
Abi Harper : I can't wait to see what you do when you're dead!
-
Abi Harper : [With Nick, staring at a paper bag with food in it] It brings to mind the nullity of human existence. It moves me. I think it's your best work yet.
Michael : Actually, it's my lunch.
Nick Harper : Plagiarist!
-
Susan : The tour was a disaster! We were supposed to go to the British Museum!
Nick Harper : Marks & Spencer's very similar.
Susan : Even Canadians know the difference between the Rosetta Stone and a three-pack of knickers! Then instead of the Tower of London, we went to Tower Records!
Nick Harper : Tower, Tower!
Abi Harper : It's an easy mistake to make!
Nick Harper : Exactly! Any golden labrador would have done the same!
Susan : If that weren't enough, when we picnicked in Hyde Park, he chased a squirrel up a tree!
Nick Harper : That squirrel had it coming!
-
Susan : I'm sick of bumping into furniture and spilling tea and putting eyeshadow on my lips!
Abi Harper : You get used to it after a bit!
