DeborahNo, it's not that. You're leaning on my hair.
Oh, sorry.
I'm just showing you what it would be like if you went out with me.
DeborahYes, but it never stays like this. How long would the flowers last? A week? A month?
They'd last forever. They're plastic.
DeborahWhat does it say?
We want sexual rights, and we want it now.
Help. Help.
Deborah(yells) Help!
[on his daffodil present to Deborah being thrown away]
Excuse me! That was a present.
Oh, yeah, right, I could tell it was from you, it was scrawny, served no obvious purpose, and neither of us liked it.
Well, I'll have it back then, please.
DeborahWhy?
I wanna do some cuttings.
DeborahHow can you do cuttings from a dead daffodil?
You make incisions in the green, middle, stick-y bit, put it in the airing cupboard, couple of days, hey-presto... tulips!
Look, Deborah, you're a girl...
DeborahNo. I was a girl, now I'm a woman.
How does that work then?
DeborahWhy do I have to live above two drunk morons?
[drunk] You don't! Who says you do? Just stay here in your flat.
DeborahWho wanted the painkillers?
Oh, me, ta.
DeborahWhat's wrong?
Toothache, little son of a bitch tosser down at the back...
DeborahDid you see the dentist?
Mmm, yeah.
DeborahWhat did he say?
I can't remember it was in 1986.
I just wanted to tell you how much I love you.
DeborahTony, you don't love me. You just want to have sex with me.
...Well, we could start from there. And from that acorn our love could grow into a big...thicket.
[Gary, Dorothy, Deborah and Tony are in a car, lost whilst looking for a rave]
I'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!?
DeborahCome 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.
DeborahHow come you can't drive, Gary?
Some people were born to drive, and some people were born to be driven.
Some people were born to be run over.
You know Felicity Kendal?
Yes.
She was deliciously pert, wasn't she?
Yes.
You know the Magic Roundabout?
Yes?
What the Hell was that all about?
Debs, will you do me a favour?
DeborahWhat?
Will you have sex with me in a tree?
Gary, you must've had this sofa for 25 years.
Yeah, and my parents kept the polythene on for the first six.
It's got some horrible stains on it.
Where?
There. There. There. There.
DeborahThere. Here. There.
There. There. There.
DeborahThere.
Well, I can't see any.
DeborahOh, and what's that, there?
Err.
Ooh, yeah, that is a bit worrying.
DeborahIt can take a long time to get pregnant, can't it?
Oh yeah, everything has to be right, the womb has to be in the right cycle; the, um, placebo has to be aligned with the aviary; and the seed must be freed.
