  Pam : Does it really? Do you know, I've no idea what my name means in Welsh.

  Nessa : Why.

  Pam : Cos I don't speak the lingo, darling.

  Nessa : No, in Welsh Pam means "why".

  Pam : Oh.

  Nessa : [thinks]  Or "brick".

• Nessa : Come on Gwen, what's your beef? Or tofu. Sorry, Pam.

  Pam : It's alright, my love.

• Pam : Mick, if you're going to gnaw the legs off helpless animals, please have the decency not to do it under my nose.

  Mick : [whispers]  Are you for real?
