Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Jean : You're pleased, aren't you?

  Stephen : With myself, if the truth be told.

  Jean : Why?

  Stephen : I rang the estate agent; said I was a Mr Spiros. Did a voice, of course. And bid higher than Penny and I could possibly match.

  Lionel : You gazumped yourself?

  Stephen : In a manner of speaking, yes. Not bad for a dull-witted dentist, is it?

  Jean : Stephen, if Mr Spiros's offer is the highest that the estate agent gets... what will you do?

  Stephen : Oh, Lord.

  Lionel : I'll phone Alistair.
