Quotes 

• Monroe Davies : Mind if I get a splash?

  Denise : Oh, of course. You know, we're all really excited for Tom and for us, 'cause we've been on this journey with him, and it has been a long one.

  Monroe Davies : That's a nice sentiment. Truth be told, the lesbian sister-in-law is my favourite character.

  Denise : Oh! Okay, thank you.

  [chuckles] 

  Monroe Davies : I mean, everyone else has such big, brash personalities just jumping off the page. "Ooh, I'm so interesting," and "Pay attention to me!"

  [chuckles] 

  Monroe Davies : And then there's you. The nice one.

  Denise : Oh. Well, I'm more than just nice.

  Monroe Davies : Oh, of course. I mean, you know, you're also sensible, practical, rational.

  Denise : Okay, you're just listing synonyms for nice.

  Monroe Davies : Oh. Well, they all apply. Cheers.

  Marina : This is... this is champagne.

  Monroe Davies : And Colin, the deep-pocketed himbo.

  Connor : Yeah, I'll take it.

  Monroe Davies : And of course, the lesbians!
