Quotes 

• Eddie : This is... This is a, sort of... corpse... in an open, oaken, oblong coffin... Silky lining. It's a dead body, Pats.

  Patsy : Yeah, but is it art, Eddie?

  Eddie : No, sweetie, it's my father.

  Patsy : Are you sure?

  Eddie : Yeah, I think so. But I've just never seen him in a suit before.

• [first lines] 

  Patsy : Do you want some ecstasy Eddy?

  Eddie : Are you mad, darling? Nobody's taking that any more. People have been dragged from raves bleeding from every orifice.

  Patsy : This isn't a rave. It's a "happening".

  Eddie : Don't force to take it, Pats. I promised Saffy I wouldn't, darling.

  Patsy : She'll never find out. She didn't scare me.

  Saffie : Mum! Keep the noise down.

• Patsy : What am I supposed to do if you die?

  Eddie : Get cabs!

• Patsy : Eddie tells me that Mr. M... you know... dead.

  Mrs. June 'Gran' 'Mother' Monsoon : That's right.

  Patsy : Well, I um... condole you.

  Mrs. June 'Gran' 'Mother' Monsoon : Thank you dear.

  Patsy : He chose the right season to go.

  Saffie : What do you mean?

  Patsy : Well Harvey Nicks have got some really tasty little black numbers at the moment. And black is like "in". You wouldn't have to wear it only the once. It's my job to know these things.

• Saffie : So Marshall, how's the script coming?

  Eddie : Oh no, do we have to know?

  Marshall : Well it's at a real interesting stage.

  Sondra Lorrance : You're doing just fine.

  Marshall : We had Keanu Reeves pull out, which, which we feel really positive about now because it's taken a different course entirely. And, and a Japanese company has taken up the option to do it in animation form.

  Sondra Lorrance : Pat yourself on the back for that.

  Eddie : A cartoon...?

  Patsy : A cartoon!

  Marshall : Animation!

  Eddie : A cartoon!

• Patsy : Do you think the Yankee bimbo from hell is gone?

  Eddie : God, I hope so, darling!

• Eddie : I mean, what's the point of grieving if there's no one there to see you do it?

  Patsy : You're right, Eddie. You're always right!

• [last lines] 

  Mrs. June 'Gran' 'Mother' Monsoon : Let's hope someone fills them in before they get help.

  Patsy : Eddie!

• Eddie : I should be there! Shouldn't I? I mean, he would want me to be there.

  Patsy : He'd want you to be there.

  Eddie : He'd want me to be there. He'd want me to be there!

  Patsy : Yeah.

  Eddie : He'd want you to be there, as well.

  Patsy : No, I don't... I don't think he'd want me to be there.

  Eddie : If you want the house darling.

  Patsy : He'd want me to be there!

  Eddie : He'd want you there!

  Eddie , Patsy : Come on, darling.
