Quotes
-
Brigitte : Hello, Mrs Harper.
Ben : Oh my God, she knows where I live.
Susan : Hello.
Brigitte : I don't mean to disturb your evening, but I wanted to give you these large blue stones.
Susan : Oh, but we haven't got you anything.
Brigitte : They're Tibetan cleansing stones, part of the Feng Shui ritual.
Susan : Is there something special I should do with these?
Ben : Hit her with them.
Brigitte : Your husband, I'm afraid to tell you, is like a toxic river.
Susan : Yes, I get a lot of that.
Brigitte : It needs to be dammed up; placing these rocks outside the door might block the negative flow.
Susan : Do you think two stones is going to be enough? We may need an entire wall.
Brigitte : I know. I've got more in the van, shall I go and get them?
Susan : Oh, we couldn't possibly.
Brigitte : Don't worry, I bought in bulk.

Brigitte McKay : Someone has stolen my van!
Susan : Oh, that's awful.
Ben : Oh no, I... Are you sure?
Brigitte McKay : You don't just misplace a 1974 psychedelic lime green van with a portrait of Bob the Builder on the front.
Ben : Although God knows you must try.

Brigitte : Feng Shui is the Chinese practice of creating a positive energy flow.
Ben : Erm, I don't want my energy to flow. I prefer it to remain static. Where's my stool?
Brigitte : That had to go. It was oozing negativity.
Ben : Brigitte, erm, in case you hadn't noticed, this isn't China. This is England. And in England, we like routine. We don't like change. So change everything back and leave my chi alone. Do you know what my two favourite words are in the English language? Status quo - if nothing happens, then nothing can go wrong. Why is this chair facing the other way round?
Brigitte : If the patient's feet face the door, it means death.
