Quotes 

• Claire : It must be difficult. I do volunteer work with some disadvantaged women and a few of them have lost their husbands and they find it very hard.

  [Amelia's eyes fill with tears and she stares off into the void, ignoring the conversation] 

  Claire : How's Richard's merger going?

  Eastern Suburbs Mum : Oh, good. I mean, his workload's just ballooned. I've got the kids 24/7, it feels like!

  Claire : Tell me about it! I don't even have time to go to the gym anymore! It's ridiculous!

  Amelia : [loud, sarcastic and hostile]  That's a real tragedy! Not having time to go to the gym anymore? How do you cope? You must have SO much to talk about with those poor disadvantaged women.

  [the other party guests stare at Amelia with pity]
