Tom Good : Do you like it?
Barbara Good : Yes, I've always wanted two tonnes of rusty old iron in the kitchen. What's it for?
Tom Good : It's a range, you range on it, with it.
Barbara Good : Yes but what's it for? We've got a perfectly good cooker already.
Tom Good : Won't be very good in a couple of weeks when the power gets cut off.
Barbara Good : Clever. How much did we pay for it?
Tom Good : The toaster and your hairdryer.
Barbara Good : Oh thank you very much.
Tom Good : No electricity.
Barbara Good : Well, I suppose I could learn to cook with it.
Tom Good : If you want to dry your hair, put it in there. If you want to make toast, this is *the* way of making toast.
Barbara Good : Will you be swapping your electric razor for anything soon?
Tom Good : Yes I suppose so, why?
Barbara Good : Well this thing is so versatile I want to see how you're going to shave with it.

Barbara Good : Well, that's another problem solved, isn't it?
Tom Good : Yes, yes, always provided of course he does chase birds.
Barbara Good : [chicken cackles] Oh, my God, what's that?
Tom Good : He chases birds, all right! He's in the chicken's run!

Margo : Well, let me show you what I've got.
[takes a dress out of a plastic bag and presents it]
Barbara Good : Oh, that's nice.
Margo : Yes, well, that's what I thought when I bought it. But I'm afraid it was a terrible mistake.
Barbara Good : Ohhh.
[leans in to read the tag]
Barbara Good : Leclerc! Jolly expensive mistake.
Margo : Well that's not important. The point is, Barbara, I got it home, I put it on, and I said to myself, "Margo, that simply looks cheap and nasty.". So I wondered if you'd like it?
Barbara Good : [Breathes a full breath, and replies] Margo, you are the mistress of the unfortunate phrase.
