Quotes 

• Marcus : I got the letter. Thanks.

  Fiona : Oh my God. I'd forgotten.

  Marcus : You forgot? You forgot a suicide letter?

  Fiona : Well I didn't think I'd have to remember it, did I? Did you read the part where I said I'd always love you?

  Marcus : It's a bit hard for you to love me when you're dead, isn't it?

• [Fiona is crying] 

  Fiona : Will, am I a bad mother?

  Will : No. No, you're not a bad mother. You're just a barking lunatic.

• Fiona : He's expressing himself!

  Will : No, he's not! He's expressing YOU!

• [Fiona is crying] 

  Fiona : I mean, he's a special - very, very special boy and he's got a special soul, and I've wounded it.

  Will : Oh, please, just shut up. You're wounding my soul.

• Fiona : I can understand why you're angry, Marcus. But I don't feel the same as I did yesterday, if it's any help.

  Marcus : What? It's all gone away? All that?

  Fiona : No, but, for the moment, I feel better.

  Marcus : The moment's no good for me. I can see you feel better at the moment. You just put the kettle on. What happens when you finish your tea? What happens when I go back to school? I can't be here to watch you all the time!

• Will : It's a CD, Marcus, by Mystikal. They're cool. You'll like them

  Fiona : What kind of music is Mystikal?

  Will : It's sort of, um, world music...

  Marcus : [reads a song title]  "Shake Ya Ass."

  Will : ...Slash rap-type thing.

• Fiona : When you sing it brings sunshine and happiness into my heart

• Fiona : You selfish bastard!
