Laura Gibson quotes from SeaChange

Laura Gibson

[picking up the phone] It's me. Life is swings and round-a-bouts, isn't it? It's hard to make sense of some things. But, um, all I do know is that I am alive and you're alive and, ah, I do not want to look back when I am ninety and think that I let something important slip by. I've got two hours now. Can you meet me?

Daniel Della Bosca

Yeah. I'll see you there.

Laura Gibson

What was that? (Said while her and Dan are in bed together)

I think it was a knock at the door?

Laura

Oh! (Laura starts to move)

You're not seriously considering getting that.

It helps if you walk backwards (in flippers).

Laura Gibson

Yeah sure! (Laura continues to walk forward)

Laura Gibson

What do you believe in, Karen?

Oh, I'm Catholic, I'm lucky, I don't have to think about it.

Laura Gibson

So, what do you believe?

Uh, I believe what Catholics believe.

Laura Gibson

All of it? The virgin birth, the resurrection, creationism?

Yeah, all that.

Laura Gibson

Without question?

Well, there’s not much point in believing in something if you question it all the time. It’s not like I’m obsessed, or anything. I don’t go to church that much since it got washed away.

Laura Gibson

What about eternal damnation for not attending weekly mass?

No, no. I don’t believe that one!

Laura Gibson

Oh, every family's got a few skeletons in the closet.

Miranda Gibson

So you don't mind me telling everyone that your sister's about to have my father's baby, and that my brother and I will have a cousin that will also be our half-brother or sister?

We could name the baby Rex.

Laura Gibson

I am absolutely not naming our child after your kelpie!

He was a very good dog!

Laura Gibson

Mmmm... anyway it might be a girl.
