Quotes 

• [at the concert, Annie, the chef, offers Martin and Louisa a tray of canapés] 

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : Not for me, thanks.

  Annie : Go on, they're delicious.

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : [unaware that he's speaking to the chef]  Salmonella en croute, made yesterday by unwashed strangers - no thank you.

• [after the concert, Louisa leads Martin into the woods. They kiss passionately] 

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : [breaking off the kiss]  You're very emotional, Louisa.

  Louisa Glasson : Sssh!

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : What?

  Louisa Glasson : You're not obliged to spoil it, you know.

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : Are you wearing perfume?

  Louisa Glasson : Yes.

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : Is it sandalwood?

  Louisa Glasson : No. It's Kenzo Flower.

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : I wondered whether it was pheromones. Androsterone-5 has a sort of sandalwood odour - faintly urine-like, if you prefer. It's the pheromone associated with the onset of the menstrual cycle, and it's often accompanied by mood swings.

  Louisa Glasson : Urine-like?

  Dr. Martin Ellingham : Yeah, it's only faint. Am I right?

  Louisa Glasson : A woman doesn't have to be getting her period to be a bit emotional.
