Quotes 

• Annie : Jessie, we're getting to the point now where we really need to commit...

  Jessie : No front bottoms.

  Annie : What?

  Jessie : I'm in. Just no front bottoms. That's a sight I reserved for just one man in my life.

  Annie : Do you think your husband would mind?

  Jessie : It wasn't my husband.

• Jessie : Hello dear. I thought I'd bring my journalists to meet your journalists.

• Cora : I'm surprised they printed it.

  Jessie : It's probably all over the internet by now.

  Annie : By the sound of it, most people have seen it already.

  Chris : Lots of people have photos taken with their tops off on holiday in Ibiza don't they?

  Ruth : It probably just came as a slight shock Chris, what with the previous fifteen photos being of flower arrangements.

• Jessie : One moment the dressing gown was on, the next it was just me and the hat.

• Jessie : [to Lawrence]  Come on, Sugden, it's your own time you're wasting.

  Jessie : [to the other calendar girls]  I was his junior school teacher.

• Check-In Stewardess : I'm sorry ladies, but I'm afraid you've come to the wrong desk.

  Jessie : I have asked four people. Each of them has said we could check in for a flight to Los Angeles at *any* desk. We have queued for twenty minutes in the *only* queue and were directed to *your* desk by *your* representative. Where *precisely* have we gone wrong?

• Jessie : [showing the photo of topless Chris Harper]  What is the difference between this and the Venus de Milo?

  Celia : Oh, I love quizzes. The cooker?

  Jessie : Both feature women with their breasts exposed. What makes one a work of art?

  Annie : I think the answer to that is very simple: an artist.

• Cora : There's just one problem. The photographer's a man.

  Jessie : But the point is, we won't be showing anything.

  Cora : In the photos. I imagine a considerable amount will be on display in the room.

  Chris : He'll have to be in the room to take the photos!

  Cora : With us naked!

  Celia : Yeah. Or nude.

  Chris : No, listen. An art photographer doesn't see a naked woman. He sees a life model!

  Celia : Yes. No, the nudity isn't important.

  Jessie : Easy to say when you've got your knickers on.
