  Jane : Oh dear, they're going to end up all over the town again.

  Diana : At least they've got all their clothes on this time.

• [last lines] 

  Diana : I like to be known as a person in my own right. Already had to clout Basil for referring to me as 'Tom Ballard's bit of crumpet'. And just shut up about it, all right?

  Tom : And, um, uh, the future, mm?

  Diana : Forget about that, too.

  Tom : You can't be serious!

  Diana : Well... maybe saints' days and other religious holidays.

  Tom : But you don't belong to any religion.

  Diana : I guess that's just the breaks, kid.

  Tom : Oh... Oh, well. It was nice while it lasted.

  [picks up bottle]

  [pause] 

  Diana : Tom?

  Tom : Yeah?

  Diana : Seventeenth. Oh, isn't that the Feast of Saint Kermit and All Frogs?

  Tom : Oh. Oh, well, um, I don't know, uh... Oh! I see. Oh. Jolly good.

  [laughs] 

  Tom : And isn't tomorrow the Feast of Saint Donald of All Ducks?

  Tom : That's a bit unfair.

  Diana : Take it or leave it.

  Tom : I'll have to think about it. OK, I've thought about it. Here's to Saint Kermit.

  Diana : Saint Kermit.
