Eleanor Glasson quotes from Doc Martin

Eleanor Glasson

(To Louisa) It's been such a long time. I suppose I should be annoyed by making me a grandmother. I'm a bit young for that. Don't you think?

Dr. Martin Ellingham

Biological speaking you are exactly on the right age. Fifty-seven, fifty-eight.

Eleanor Glasson

(Eyeing Martin) Yeah. Round there.

Eleanor Glasson

Have you got any avocado oil?

Mrs. Tishell

This is a pharmacy, not a voodoo store, Eleanor.

Eleanor Glasson

Sally! I didn't recognise you. Sea air is *really* harsh on the skin, isn't it?

Mrs. Tishell

You're back.

Eleanor Glasson

Yes, for Lulu.

Mrs. Tishell

Yes, that will be a nice change for Louisa.

Eleanor Glasson

Not before time, thank God. Poor thing's swamped. And that man of hers - total waste of space.

Mrs. Tishell

(Indignantly) Doctor Ellingham is one of the finest human beings I have ever met.

Eleanor Glasson

(Cattily) Well I don't suppose you meet that many. Never really heard the call of the wild, did you?

Mrs. Tishell

I heard the call. I just chose not to listen. I leave that to the likes of you.

Eleanor Glasson

Life's adventuress.

Mrs. Tishell

That wasn't quite the word I had in mind.

Louisa Glasson

Don't wake him!

Dr. Martin Ellingham

Smell that. Alcohol.

Louisa Glasson

No. She wouldn't!

Dr. Martin Ellingham

What else does it look like?

Eleanor Glasson

I'll just be off. If ever you need a babysitter, you know where I am.

Louisa Glasson

Did you put something in this?

Eleanor Glasson

Just a few drops of my tonic. He loves it. It's homeopathic - sort of.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

What do you mean "sort of"?

Eleanor Glasson

Camphor, lavender, bit of thyme, apple peel.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

Yeast. Yeast in the apple peel turns the plant sugars into alcohol.

Louisa Glasson

It's alcoholic!

Dr. Martin Ellingham

You have drugged our child.

Eleanor Glasson

Don't you think you're taking this a bit far? I've been taking it for years.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

Haven't you noticed the effect it has on you? I have.

Eleanor Glasson

Never did you any harm.

Louisa Glasson

Just go. Please.

Eleanor Glasson

Look, what I'm trying to say is, you know, - I'm proud of you.

Louisa Glasson

And?

Eleanor Glasson

That's it.

Louisa Glasson

No. There's always something else.

Eleanor Glasson

This place has made you paranoid - I'm leaving Port Wenn.

Louisa Glasson

And there we have it.
