Ben Jamieson: Ian

Quotes 

• Michael Harper : Hi mum.

  Ian : Hello, Mrs Harper.

  Susan Harper : Hello boys. Oh, boys, boys! Could you just take five minutes and help me look for something?

  Michael Harper : It's never five minutes.

  Ian : Of course, Mrs Harper. I'd love to help.

  Susan Harper : [Hugs Ian]  Oh, that some night-tripping fairy had exchanged! In cradle-clothes our children where they lay!

  Michael Harper : That's why nothing ever takes five minutes around here!

  Susan Harper : Please, boys! It's our anniversary in less than a week and I still haven't found what your father got me.

  Michael Harper : So why not wait?

  Susan Harper : What did he buy me last year? The Millennium Edition Dustbuster! And how about the year before that? A Breville sandwich maker!

  Ian : My mum's got one of those.

  Susan Harper : And ooh, lucky her!

  Michael Harper : So why don't we ever have sandwiches?

  Susan Harper : Because I exchanged it before he gave it to me, put the new gift where he hid the old one, and then on our anniversary, voila - I love my gift and he's either too forgetful or too embarrassed to say he got me something else and everybody's happy!

  Ian : Erm... I think I'll go home now!
