[first lines]
Lionel Hardcastle : Finished.
Jean Hardcastle : Oh. Did you ever work out why it was called 'Thunder in the Moon'?
Lionel Hardcastle : No. There was never a mention of thunder or the moon.
Jean Hardcastle : Perhaps it's an allegory.
Lionel Hardcastle : Perhaps it's rubbish.

Alistair Deacon : I bet it's not every day that a guy with tickets on Concorde and rooms at The Plaza gets turned down.
Jean Hardcastle : Well, why not try the younger generation?
Judith Hanson : Mum!
Alistair Deacon : Hey, hey, is that an idea, or is that an idea?
Lionel Hardcastle : You're asking yourself questions again.
Alistair Deacon : Then I'll ask the right people. Judy, Sandy?
Sandy : The last time I had an invitation like this I was sixteen years old.
Lionel Hardcastle : Not Concorde and The Plaza!
Sandy : No. Boy at school. He had two tickets for a pop concert, but he had a row with his girlfriend and asked me instead.
Judith Hanson : You didn't go, did you?
Sandy : No, of course not.
Judith Hanson : Get the point? It's not very flattering being the reserve team.
Alistair Deacon : So you're not coming?
Judith Hanson : Course we are.
Sandy : Absolutely.

Alistair Deacon : Dollars.
Jean Hardcastle : Well, they are legal tender.
Alistair Deacon : Well, there are a lot more of those to come.
Lionel Hardcastle : A lot?

Jean Hardcastle : Lionel, it's hug time.
Lionel Hardcastle : You're right.
