• Maggie : How's Ben?

  Mary Charleston : [as if introducing herself at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting]  My name is Mary, I'm an overprotective mother, and I've only phoned twice, today, and he's fine.

• Mary Charleston : Ben's fine.

  Andrew : [In a blind, drunken stupour]  Oh, can't you let one fucking hour go by without ringing the fucking baby sitter?

  Roger : She's concerned about our child, Andrew! No need to be aggressive.

  Andrew : [Sneers]  Was that Roger the jingle writer? Did she speak?

  [Snickers drunkenly] 

  Roger : I'd rather be Roger the jingle writer than Andrew the miserable bastard! I've never understood you. You'd like to think it was Hollywood but you were like this ten years ago.

  Andrew : Like what?

  Roger : Self-loathing!

• Mary Charleston : Maggie are you doing a magic trick over there?

• Mary Charleston : Sorry, luv, hope I didn't drop you in the poo.

  Andrew : Never mind, I live in the poo.

• Roger : So what shall I play?

  Mary Charleston : Something soft and squidgy.
