Quotes
-
Roger Bailey : This is the last of Abi's stuff. I want her belongings to be somewhere that'd be treasured and treated with the respect they deserve.
Alfie Butts : Oh, is that an electric toothbrush?
-
Roger Bailey : There's only one Abi.
Michael Harper : I think we'd all agree on that.
Roger Bailey : I'll never find anyone else.
Michael Harper : Sure you will.
Janey Harper : Roger, you're better off. You'll see. Just give it time.
Alfie Butts : Janey's right. Time heals all wounds. In another 50 years, you'd be dead, so you won't have to think about it anymore!
-
Michael Harper : By the way, did you ever tell Roger you made up the whole Elke thing?
Janey Harper : Oh, you know Roger. It's in one ear and out the other. He'd have walked out the door, seen something shiny and forgotten all about it!
Roger Bailey : Somebody ask me a question!
Janey Harper : Why?
Roger Bailey : I'll answer it - in Swedish! I've been learning it to impress Elke! When do you think I can meet her, Janey?
Janey Harper : Th... That's hard to say, Roger.
Michael Harper : Almost impossible to say.

Michael Harper : Ja!

Michael Harper : [pause] Ja...
Roger Bailey : She said yes! Bye, Elke! Oh - hej då!
Janey Harper : What did you ask her?
Roger Bailey : She knows!
-
Janey Harper : [On the phone] Hello? Sorry, what do you need?
Roger Bailey : Elke's number! I'm in Sweden!
Janey Harper : Sweden? What are you doing in Sweden?
Roger Bailey : Well, I, I... I asked if I could come and visit and she said 'Ja!' Well, don't you remember? You were sitting right there!
Janey Harper : [to Michael, looking furious] Nice going, Elke!
