"This is our rabbit, and she's called Megan." "Does anybody want to stroke Megan?" "Are you sure?" "What if she jumps on your face and chews it off and sucks the juice out of your eyes and then crunches your little bones with her paws?" "Not that rabbits do that."

"Write your problems on that board, and then just rub it out." "What was that?" "Erm..." "I just dropped a warm towel on your back." "Warm, moist towel." "And I'm going to rub it all over your back." "There are notes of oregano and pineapple in it." "Which are essential." "As is ham." "Here we are." "Now, gather round, gather round, everyone." "Here we are finally in the throne room." "It is at the end of the processional arrangement of rooms, meaning that you have to go through an awful lot of rather unimpressive ones to get to this point, but I think it's worth it in the end." "Sometimes, the best things really do come to those who wait." "And it's brighter, isn't it, then the other rooms?" "I've never really noticed that before." "Not great for the tapestries, but then, hey, there's more to life than textiles, isn't there?" "Like walks on the beach, and picnics in the park, and lazy mornings in bed." "And, oh!" "Just look at those roses!" " And is that Anne, there?" " Oh, no, no, no." "This is Catherine Parr, that is Henry VIII's sixth and," "I'm glad to say, final wife." "She'd been married before, but then, so was he." "And that means she has experience, which I think counts for a lot." "Not least in the bedroom, because, you know, these 25-year-olds, they might have the all the right lumps and bumps, but they don't know what they're doing, do they?" "TEXT MESSAGE Oh, I do apologise!" "I shouldn't really have this on." "Dear me." "So what happened to Catherine after he died?" "What?" "What happened?" "Oh." "She got back with the ex." "Oh." "Well, good for her." " What?" " Erm..." "As a widow, I mean, moving on." "That's not moving on!" "That's going back." "That's going back!" "So..." "Which way do we go from here?" "Oh..." "I've no idea." "Hello, I'm line judge Margaret MacDonald." "You may remember me from the 1996 Wimbledon quarter-finals, when a Jana Novotna serve bounced up my skirt." "SIGHS" "Today, I'm going to show you how not to crumble when hit by a high-speed serve." "And my son, Edmund, is going to help." "The most important thing by far is not to burst into tears, even it does get you a hug from Stefan Edberg and your photo in all the newspapers." "Helen Chalmers." "You have two choices - one, pretend it didn't happen." "Two, enjoy it and be energised." "And, three, maybe share the joke with the crowd." " Are you ready, Edmund?" " The surgeon said you shouldn't do this any more." " Are you ready, Edmund?" " Fine." "Ow!" "So, big smile, wave at the crowd." "Maybe a little joke." "It's all right, I've had my children!" "Ah, right." "It shouldn't matter... how many times it happens...!" "Two, maybe three... four times..." "And..." "Ow!" "And..." "Ouch!" "Right, and there you have it, everything you need to become a Wimbledon line..." "Argh!" "..judge." "And truly live the dream." "Stop now, Edmund!" "Stop, you little bastard!" "Edmund!" "Edmund!" "Edmund!" " Well." " What is it?" "They want you to be the new Dragon on Dragons' Den." "I'd weep tears of joy, Lainey, but I'm hard as nails, me." "Cut me and nails is what I bleed, do you get me?" " There's one slight problem." " What is it?" "Hit me, right between the eyes, I can take it." "Is it Deborah Meaden, is she jealous of me success?" "Well, leave it with me, I'll butter her up." "Tell her I loved her in Strictly Come Dancing - lying bitch that I am!" "Every time she high kicked in the Argentinian tango, I vommed!" "They're filming the new series in Bristol." " Where?" " Bristol." "Where's that?" "Well..." "Don't do this to me, Lainey." "It's down south." "Tell them to bring it 200 miles up the M1, or this bitch ain't playing ball." "Haven't they ever heard of Media City?" "Now, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, Tonya." "You've heard of the book Lean In:" "Women, Work And The Will To Lead?"

"I want to crack the Chinese market." "I love China, but it's got to be North China." "Cut me and I bleed..." "Erm..." "Google the name of a city in Northern China." "Beijing." "Cut me and I bleed Beijing, babe." "Come on, get your kit on, there's a Pam Slam boxing class in ten minutes." " Let's go." " Pam..." " Come on." " Please..." "Got to get that bum tighter." "Tight, tight, tight!" "Got to be dead tight." " FROM LAPTOP:" " 'I don't like it, Dom, 'it doesn't shout, "add to basket" to me.'" "That one as well?"

"Are you sure there's nothing in Find My Washing Machine?" " 'Doesn't click with our vision.'" " Nope?" "OK." "Well, I shall just regroup with myself and let..." "He's lost his connection, so..." "Well." "That was good." "Better off without him." "Got no overheads, because I work here." "And soon I won't have the flat, so there'll be even less overheads, and, well, you don't really need anywhere to sleep, do you?" "It's a 24-hour society." "I'll just go from coffee bar to coffee bar." "It's..." "It's all..." "It's all great." " What's this?" " You have been coming here for one year today." "This is your anniversary panini." "It's on us." "Tuna melt." "That's my favourite." "Cake would make more sense?" " Cake does not have best before date of today, so..." " Oh." "Well, I'm going to let you in on a secret." "I know you think I'm a successful businessman and a role model, but it's been a very difficult year." "And this has been the nicest thing that anyone's done from me in ages." "Next year will be different." "Someone will buy your paradigm-changing mobile platforms." "Yeah." "I know I don't always drop a tip in that paper cup." "You never put a tip in the paper cup." "But I just want to say thank you." "Because, you know, I've learned something." "45-year-old white men are the most discriminated-against group on the planet."

"It is in kitchen." "Well, tell me that 12 months ago!" "Tatiana, it was stunning." "It was so beautiful." "I said to it, you're amazing, and it was like, "But I'm already signed!"" "And it was already signed." "Yeah." "To Cyclone!" "That's what I said to it!" "Yeah." "Any word from Burberry?" "Oh, bollocks." "Yeah, well, what about Svetlana?" "She's quite alien-y?" "Oh." "I've got to go, I'll call you back." "Oi!" "Ginger!" "You're just what Burberry's looking for!" "I'm from Isis!" "SCREAMS" "Oh, for God's sake, it's a model agency!" "She was the goddess of beauty!"

" What you wearing those for, so ridiculous." " You're scaring me!" "Who said fashion was easy?" "Oh." "Actually, your face is rather dull." "Good proportions, but nothing that says, "billboard"." "Leave me alone!" "Argh!" "Oh, God, are you all right?" "My tooth's come out!" "My tooth!" "Really?" "How big's the gap?" "Smile." "Oh, God, baby!" "Get ready to make millions!"

"I've gone for butterscotch, but she can pop a banana in there if you think you can handle it." "She?" "!" "Oh, not her again?" "Oh, no, that Eastern European carer won't come any more." "Not after the last time." "All that stuff you said about ethnic cleansing." "You can be very forthright, Mummy." "No, Adelaide's coming." "You know, your friend Elspeth's little girl?" "Well, I say little." "She's ten years older than me!" "You know, the one that didn't get married?" "Ooh, I'm ever so excited." "The last time I went out on my own, you had to sign the consent form for the school trip to Whipsnade." "And I got that picture with the black rhinoceros." "It's extinct now." "That's me done." "Have you got a 10p for the phone?" "Oh, I won't be able to call you, Mummy." "Not during the show." "Oh, fine." "We'll just see if I'm still alive when you get back."
