Quotes 

• Susan : The pain of childbirth is part of being a woman.

  Steve : Yes, but it's the part we can fix!

• Steve : There's going to be pain...

  Susan : Yes.

  Steve : Pain for which relief will be offered...

  Susan : Yes.

  Steve : But which, apparently, you won't want...

  Susan : Yes.

  Steve : This is not an intelligence test that anyone should fail!

• [Oliver is trying to make fun of the fact that his pregnant ex-girlfriend's boyfriend is not attending antenatal class with her] 

  Oliver Morris : [sarcastically]  Where is he then? What's the problem? Shy, is he? Afraid? Ashamed? Really, really ugly?

  Tamsin : [angrily]  Dead!

  Oliver Morris : [contritely]  Dead if fact. He's dead. That's where Tamsin's boyfriend is. Dead. That's the whole story. Move along now, nothing to see here. She probably wants to deal with in on her own.

  Tamsin : Oh, for God's sake!

  [runs off] 

  Oliver Morris : [to others in class]  Okay, everyone, we're not doing the laughing now. That's a no on the laghing. Laughing is canceled because of the whole death aspect.

  Tamsin : [returning]  Oliver, he's not really dead. I just wanted you to make a prat of yourself.

  Oliver Morris : Ohay, he's not dead now, and I'm just making a prat of myself.

  Steve : Well, maybe you want to try not do that.

  Oliver Morris : Sorry. Can't stop. On a roll.
