Quotes 

• James : So I said to him: "Don't bother hanging the picture."

  Susan Harper : [laughs]  Oh, that's very good! Very good!

  James : No, that wasn't the end of the story.

  Susan Harper : Sorry. D... do finish.

  James : "Get down to hospital quickly! You may have nicked an artery!"

  Susan Harper : [laughs]  Oh, that's hysterical!

  James : It wasn't actually a funny story. It just happened to a friend of mine.

• Grace : I... I didn't expect you f... for another hour!

  Susan Harper : Been having a nice time, mother?

  Grace : Don't be such a party pooper! You didn't give us a chance to clear up!

  Susan Harper : Us?

  Lionel : You going to be much longer, Gracie? I'm not sure how long these pills last!

  Susan Harper : Oh, mum!

  James : OH, DAD!

• James : And as for you, what were you thinking of?

  Lionel : Oh, give it a rest!

  James : This sort of behaviour is completely unacceptable!

  Lionel : You can't talk to me like this! I used to be a chairman at BP!

• James : Have you any idea of the upset you have caused your daughter and me?

  Grace : Don't care!

  Susan Harper : Perhaps I'll make you care - no more gin for a month!

  Grace : Well, that's not fair!

  Lionel : Is this going to take much longer? My pill's starting to wear off!
