Part 1
‘But are they happy?’
‘Not exactly girlfriend material.’
‘Truly hopeless.’
‘That’s not even a word!’
‘Filed away on my SIM card.’
‘Twenty minutes after Luke met her.’
‘He’s been here half an hour if that and not lifted a finger!’
‘Hope, love, family. Those are the important things.’
‘It’ll be my good deed for the day.’
‘One day it really will be all right.’
‘Not a clue.’
‘Will you just listen to yourself?’
‘You think I’ve let you down.’
‘You know I don’t dance.’
‘You’ll wake the baby!’
Part 2
‘Just say it.’
‘Why don’t we all just calm down for a second?’
‘Do you think I’m stupid?’
‘I eat out a lot.’
‘King-sized or normal?’
‘It was you, only you.’
‘That’s what difficult is, Dad.’
‘Are we really happy for them?’
‘Where’s the logic in that?’
‘I’ve just got stuff on my mind that’s all.’
‘It’s about you and mum.’
‘Sorry’
‘That sounds like a great plan.’
‘It’s time to talk.’
‘What is wrong with you?’
‘We are.’
‘There’s honestly no need for symbolic bread-based gestures.’
‘Just gin gin will do for me.’
‘Aliens? Farm animals? Girls called Sue?’
‘Three years.’
‘Did he put up much resistance?’
‘Families can be difficult.’
‘Didn’t mean to disturb you.’

‘Because if you are, I for one think it’s a bad idea.’
‘She’s amazing.’
‘I think you did a better job of being a member of the Bachelor family than any of the rest of us ever did.’
‘I’ve done the male-dominated household and let me tell you, it’s hard work.’
‘Let’s not keep madam waiting.’
Part 3
‘I don’t understand.’
‘Because it wasn’t just a small tiff.’
‘Then let’s talk.’
‘Just because they’re not concrete, just because they’re not tangible, just because they often fly in the face of what you assume is logic and reason doesn’t mean you can ignore them.’
‘I knew you’d do this.’
‘I am different.’
‘Excuses don’t come into it.’
‘It’s all about Luke.’
‘That’s different.’
‘Once maybe, but not any more.’
‘She calls him by his name.’
‘I hate the phone going in the middle of the night.’
‘We are cursed.’
