DorothyThat's what I love about going out with you, Gary, it's an endless orgy of glamour and entertainment.
Dorothy's usual, please, Les.
Refresh my memory.

DorothyI will not.
You always do.
Dorothy(tuts). Ah, looks fine. You don't think Jacuzzi's pushing it a bit, do you?
Why?
DorothyYou haven't got one.
No, but if you whoosh to the shower attachment in the bath, it's just like it, honestly.
DorothyDon't you think you should put bath with shower attachment you can whoosh round a bit?
Too many words.
Yeah. (chuckles) I'll tell you how you can get a Jacuzzi when you're in the bath. (Chuckles)
Les, are you going to say what I think you're going to say?
(chuckles) Yeah.
DorothyJust relax, Gary.
I'm perfectly relaxed. Will you stop using all my bloody water?!
[on the way to the countryside]
DorothyMaybe I should move down here.
Nah, you'd miss the sophisticated city talk.
DorothyWhat, you and Tony discussing the most comfortable pants you've ever had?
That's a bit unfair. Oh, look at those lovely hedges... so what are the most comfortable pants you've ever had?
Bye, Dorothy, mate.
DorothyBye, Tony, mate.
Do you wanna come in?
DorothyI'd better not.
Don't worry, we found out where that faint musky smell came from. It was Tony.
DorothyNo, I'd just rather be somewhere a bit more neutral.
Switzerland?
DorothyI shouldn't have come here, but I...
I know. You needed a shoulder to cry on.
DorothyNo. Just needed someone I could feel superior to.
DorothyHow did that happen?
Give me the trousers, Dorothy!

DorothyYou see? And now Tony.
Dorothy.
DorothyTony.
[Gary, Dorothy, Deborah and Tony are in a car, lost whilst looking for a rave]
DorothyI've had enough. I'm turning back.
[drunkenly] Had enough? Turning back? Are you mad? Are you... madder than Brian Mad of Madcastle? Are you!?
Come on, it's two o'clock in the morning.
No! Absolutely no; we're having a brilliant time! It's two o'clock, and we haven't even got there yet, now that's very fashionable - I read it in a magazine, of, er... well some sort [pauses] or other.
DorothyWe always said if we ended up as one of those couples who watch television in bed, we'd split up.
(still watching) Close the door quietly on your way out.
DorothyGary, when I was away, did you sleep with a woman?
How do you mean "woman"?
DorothyA woman. You know, the ones with what you and Tony call "shirt potatoes".
How come you can't drive, Gary?
Some people were born to drive, and some people were born to be driven.
DorothySome people were born to be run over.

Yes.
She was deliciously pert, wasn't she?
Yes.
