Quotes 

• Richard : [pointing at a helicopter]  You ever been in one of these things?

  Kim : Yeah, we have one at home. This one's pretty small actually.

  Richard : Do we pay extra for irony?

  Kim : No, the irony's free, it's the sarcasm you're paying for. Ironically...

• Kim : My mum always used to say, "You've got brains in your head, feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose."

  Jonny : Clever girl, your mum.

• Interviewer 2 : You're a lovely girl, but I'm just not sure...

  Kim : Let me try. You're just not sure I'm the right kind of girl for your clients. It's hard to say why exactly, but it's probably something to do with the fact that I'm not called Arabella, or Isabella, or anything-Bella. That I don't have hundred-quid highlights, perfect nails, or, I'm just guessing here, expensively trimmed pubes. So even though I might be the only person with actual experience, and actual work in the actual real world, and you know I'd try really really hard, I'm just not the right kind of girl. Is that about the size of it?

  Interviewer 2 : About there, yes.

  [answering phone] 

  Interviewer 2 : This is Bella.

• Jonny : Congratulations. So I guess your hourly rate just shot through the roof?

  Kim : Oh right, it's the lying bastard.

  Jonny : Technically, I never lied to you.

  Kim : Withholding-the-truth bastard.

• Willy : Do you want to talk about it? A barman's cheaper than a shrink.

  Kim : A beer's cheaper than a barman.

  Willy : I'm pretty cheap.

  Willy : Beer doesn't talk back either.

• Georgie : Three golden rules of chalet girling. One, no friends up in the chalet. Two, you can party all you like as long as breakfast is on the table at eight. You oversleep, you can pack your bags.

  Kim : Friends, breakfast - check.

  Georgie : Three, no sleeping with the clients. Unless they're fit. Or minted. Or hitting on you.

  Kim : Basically there's only two rules.

  Georgie : Basically, yeah.

• Bill : [on the phone]  How's it going?

  Kim : Fine.

  Bill : What are the people like?

  Kim : They're, uh, fine. If it doesn't work out I can always nick one of their paintings.

• Caroline : She's a chalet girl. My God, it is such a cliché. I wouldn't have minded so much if you were discreet, but Bernhardt said the two of you were all over each other. On the beginner slope.

  Jonny : Bernhardt could learn a few things about being discreet himself.

  Caroline : Honey, do you realize what you're risking, here? You have to stop this right now, or I will!

  Jonny : This isn't Jane Austen, Mum. Look, when you and Dad met...

  Caroline : Enough, Jonathan. I just think you can do better.

  Jonny : Well, I don't think Dad could have done better.

  Caroline : Look, your father and I, we got lucky. But believe me, this girl is only after one thing.

  Kim : [walking up]  Yeah, and it was great.

  Caroline : [turning]  Is there a reason you're still here?

  Jonny : Look, Kim, can we just...

  Kim : Oh, there's a noise. I can't quite... oh that's right, it's a lying bastard.

• Georgie : Do you want to prep the veg?

  Kim : I live to prep veg.

  [picks up the carrots] 

  Kim : Alright, come one, carrots, we've got a big game coming up! I want to see each and every one of you giving 110%!

  Georgie : Are you done?

  Kim : Yeah.

  [puts the carrots away without peeling or cutting them] 

• Jonny : I've never kissed a girl in a helmet before.

  Kim : Safety first!

• Kim : What is it with you people walking in on me naked?
