Janey quotes from My Family

Janey

Dad, I'm not a vir...er...y naive person!

Nick

She's French, she's called Isabelle, she's a swimwear model, and her father's the chairman of a major electronics business.

Janey

Does the phrase "pull the other one" mean anything to you?

Nick

(grins) Ah, you think she's got a sister?

Janey

Dad, I'm just curious. Are you planning to forget again this year?

Ben

Ah. A riddle. I love a riddle. Let's see, the answer is: I don't know what you're talking about so go away.

Janey

Mum's birthday.

Ben

Oh my God, not again.

Janey

I wish I was dead!

Susan

Janey! How can you say that? "I wish I *were* dead." The subjunctive. Boys are more impressed by good grammar than tight jeans, you know.

Michael

I went to see her last time she was dying.

Nick

I'll go next time.

Janey

And what happens if she really is dying?

Nick

(grins) Then I win!

Janey

I'm not gay.

Ben

Well that about takes the biscuit doesn't it? How dare you not be gay. Good God! You put us through anxiety, anger, confusion, doubt, anger...

Susan

You said anger.

Ben

I was angry twice. Until we finally reach tolerance and acceptance, and you tell us you're not gay. My own daughter! I feel betrayed!

Janey

I think it should be me, because I'm not tragic like you two, and I already have a friend to take: Kenzo.

Michael

That's the only way you can get friends; by giving birth to them?
