SSaffy

I think we should have a little talk, don't you?

Have you seen this, darling, this Nancy Friday? It's extraordinary! She gets complete strangers to relate their filthiest thoughts and then sells them as therapy. It's fantastic!

SSaffy

Mum, I want to know what you're planning for tomorrow night.

Armpit kissing! Would you kiss an arm-..

SSaffy

[Interrupting] I want to know!

Sweetie, it is simply the extrication of myself from the burden of sexual norms, and the restoration of my own powerful, and integrated sexuality.

SSaffy

An orgy?

Yeah, that's the one.

SSaffy

Ok, I got you condoms and femidoms. You are going to be safe, right?

Yes of course sweetie. [Looking in the bag]

SSaffy

Have you opened these?

GGrandma

They don't put fingers on these gloves.

[Edina and Patsy have just returned from a Marilyn Manson gig]

She tried to crowd surf and the tide went out!

The sea just parted, darling. I don't know how it happened

SSaffy

They've probably never seen anything that old flying at them before

Right, time for another little drinky before we go.

SSaffy

Where are you going?

New York.

SSaffy

I didn't think they let people with drug convictions in.

Darling, it's not a conviction.

Just a firm belief!

Put that book down, you're not showing me up.

SSaffy

[To Edina] You see everything but yourself! You always have the best view in the room because you're not looking at you!

SSaffy

You burnt and scarred my best friend!

Who??

Titicaca.

Oh. [nods]

SSaffy

Her name is Sarah!

Darling, she was standing with her little pigtails too close to a candle!

Act of God.

SSaffy

You were holding the candle!

The world has changed. I mean, there was a time I was out there. I was hip. I was dangerous. The Zeitgeist flew from me, sweetheart! I mean, I could pick up the lunch buzz at Momo and fly with it, darling, you know? The more money you spent, the more money you made; it was money on a loop. But not anymore, no. Not anymore, sweetheart--thanks to New Labour.

SSaffy

[rolling her eyes] Oh no...

Oh yes, darling: the eternally-grinning funless world of New Labs, isn't it? All that hope, all that future, darling! But do you know something? Once the party's over, you look around, you're still standing in the shit! Nobody wants new things anymore, it's just, "Retro, retro, retro!" I mean, darling, we are skidding backwards into the 2000s on a slick of apology, and that's not a world that thinks I'm that great!

[Patsy blows her cigarette smoke in Saffy's direction]

SSaffy

[Cough] Mum!

Oh, don't be so stupid, smoke can't get in there, darling. Smoke can't touch the baby. If it could you'd have come out looking like prosciutto, believe me.

Or Donatella, liver sausage in a wig

SSaffy

Mum, you are just paying into the whole panic culture, I hate it. The world is actually safer than it's ever been. In fact, you're more likely to be hit by a bus!

Oh yeah, darling, that'd be ironic, wouldn't it? Closest I've ever been to public transport and it runs over me.

Hi, hi, hi! I want you to know I am in complete control. I know exactly what I'm doing.

SSaffy

I need the midwife.

I'm a nurse!

A dental nurse!

[To Marshall] She'll never know. [Back to Saffy] Ok, open wide!

SSaffy

It feels really tight!!

Of course it's tight. It's all that olive oil you've rubbed into your perineum, darling, isn't it? You've marinated it! It's good for a barbecue, not for birth! That's what you've done, darling.

SSaffy

I haven't been using it! Not since Patsy put a chili in it!!
