  Nick : [dividing roses into two piles]  One for you, and one for you. One for you, and one for you.

  Susan : Oh look; here's a postcard from Bill and Joyce. They're having a lovely time in Lowestoft. The weather's a bit changeable. Oh, you'll love this - they tried to visit the local museum, but the sign on the door said "Closed for the summer".

  [laughs] 

  Ben : Who are Bill and Joyce?

  Susan : I've no idea. It's addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Preston across the road.

• Nick : [On the phone]  Hi, Lisa? Right, er, yeah, er, now where were we? Er... oh, yeah. I've been doing a bit of thinking. Right. Er... and I think we both need some space.

  Nick : [On the phone to his second girlfriend]  So, Karen, er... I think we both need some room to breathe.

  Nick : [On the phone to his third girlfriend]  Monique? Yeah, do you get the feeling we're crowding each other?

  Nick : [to Karen]  It's not you, it's me.
