Daisies in December (1995 TV Movie)

Pippa Guard: Miss Glaistow

Quotes 

• Arthur Carmody : Ah, now that is handy; a little sewing kit, and something to polish your shoes with. Look!

  Gerald Carmody : Oh, wonderful. I can't wait to sit in the bath, sewing my socks, shining my shoes and wearing my shower cap.

  Arthur Carmody : Dad, we really want you to enjoy this. We couldn't leave you alone, not after what happened.

  Gerald Carmody : It was an isolated incident.

  Arthur Carmody : Yes, well, there's no point in going over old ground.

  Gerald Carmody : Absolutely. Well, I'll see you in two weeks then. Don't be surprised if I'm still sitting here.

  Arthur Carmody : Then you'd be a damned fool. Places like this are bloody nice.

  Gerald Carmody : Places like this are the equivalent of a kennel. When you go on holiday, pets go into kennels and elderly relatives go into places like this.

  Arthur Carmody : You could have a very pleasant two weeks here if you weren't so determined to be miserable.

  Gerald Carmody : I do not enjoy being surrounded by old people.

  Miss Glaistow : [there is a knock on the door which opens]  Mr. Camody, I'm Miss Glaistow, resident physiotherapist and general dogsbody. And I always make it a point of greeting our guests and explaining the room.

  Gerald Carmody : Oh, really? Have your guests so little experience of rooms? What is their natural habitat? The Serengeti? The Arctic tundra?

  Arthur Carmody : My father's a little unhappy at being dumped. At least that's how he sees it.

  Gerald Carmody : That's exactly how it is, Arthur. I don't mind accepting that fact but I do object to your dressing it up as a little treat for the old man.
