Alfie Butts : [to Michael] Why so glum, chum?
Janey Harper : Oh, Amanda just gave him the chop. Maybe not forever.

Janey Harper : Alfie, that's a horrible thing to say about a girl!
Alfie Butts : No, she was a real pig. But the story still applies. Anyway, Claire was my favourite. Every time I returned from school, there was Claire waiting for me at the front gate - until one day, she wasn't there. I really had to thrust that ham sandwich down!
