Quotes 

• Bob : Don't come to me like a possessive wife!

  Alex : Well, I wouldn't if you hadn't left me with five children and a dog!

  Bob : Look, I know you feel you're not getting enough of me, but you're getting all there is.

  Alex : Well, you're spreading yourself a little thin, aren't you?

• Alex : Is this milk all right for Bob to drink?

  Lucy : It's mummy's.

  Alex : I'm sure she won't mind.

  Lucy : It's *mummy's*, for John-Stuart. He's not *weaned* yet.

  Alex : Oh.

  Bob : [gags]  Oh, my God.

• Alex : I won't be here when you get back. I can't come over. Don't ring. We've got to pack this in and I don't know what else to say.

  Bob : Alex...

  Alex : Me being careful not to ask you about Daniel. Daniel not getting answers from you because you're here! My old Mum not making demands for umpteen years and my fucking office! I don't want us to live like this.

• Bob : We're free to do what we want.

  Alex : Darling... other people often do what they don't want to do at all.

• Bob : I do wish they'd have American fuses in this country.

  Alex : Why is it that whenever you're stuck, everything is always better in America. How do you know?

• Bob : Nothing's changed.

  Alex : I've changed! All this fitting in and making do and shutting up.

• Alex : I'm not angry with you. I bought it because I love you. I bought your terms and they were - rotten terms and I shouldn't have done it. My fault.

  Bob : You keep asking too much.

  Alex : For God's sake! Caring a lot about someone, is that too much! People that have some tie for each other, is that too much?

• Timothy : Blecch!

  Alex : Serves you right for pinching my breakfast.

  Timothy : Not *your* breakfast! Papa paid for it!

  Bob : Well, there's socialism for you.

• Bob : I want some milk.

  Alex : Oh, my God, you get more and more like an American. I want some wine!

• Bob : It's not because of me, is it?

  Alex : No, my duck, it is not because of you. You turn everything to yourself!

• Alex : Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

  Bob : You are a silly tart!

• Bob : Come here. What have you got that on for?

  Alex : I don't know.

  Bob : Well take it off!
