Sandy: [reading the paper] Mmm, that's nice. Look; two-bedroom flat in Upper Bayswater.
Judith: No such place as Upper Bayswater. Means Paddington. And you missed the bit about 'some decorative restoration required'.
Sandy: I'm sure we're quite capable of slapping on a coat of emulsion.
Judith: Some decorative restoration probably means there's no floor.
Sandy: Sure you're not going off the idea of us getting a flat together?
Judith: Why do you say that?
Sandy: Well, all the places you seem to like are places we can't afford.
Judith: No, I'm not going off the idea. Just as, well, as Mum says, there's no rush.
Sandy: At this rate we'll still be living here when we're little old ladies.
Judith: I just don't see what all the panic's about.
Sandy: It's not panic! It's just... well, it's all getting a little bit too cozy.
Judith: You're in one of your hair shirt moods, aren't you?
