The Art of Being Susan (2006)

Daniela Denby-Ashe: Janey Harper

Quotes 

• Susan Harper : Mothers usually go back to work full time when their kids start school. I didn't feel like I could leave you lot alone until last month.

  Janey Harper : Are you suggesting that raising us was difficult?

  Susan Harper : No, I'm suggesting it almost sucked the life out of me.

  Grace : There are ways to get that life back, Susan!

  Susan Harper : Yes, mother, but I want to remember mine!

• Janey Harper : Look, mum, nobody's asking you to cheat on dad.

  Grace : I am!

• Janey Harper : Mum, this is not a problem. If this guy James is interested, you'll know. Yeah, men send subtle signals.

  Susan Harper : Like what?

  Janey Harper : Well, like, if he tries to feed you anything, don't let him - he's just trying to gain your trust. If he locks eyes with you for more than three seconds, he wants you.

  Grace : And if he puts his hand on your breast, that's a biggie, too! At least it was in my day!
