Eddie: What is this Nazi book of child-rearing, you're using? Sleep, sh*t, eat, talk, smile! What is it? Do not deviate! Jawohl, Herr Kommandant! Gina bloody Ford!
Saffy: Yes! What was in in your day, Dr. Spock?
Eddie: Dr. Spock! Don't be ridiculous! Dr. Spock? What, "Dr. Spock's Vulcan Book Of Child-Rearing", darling? Yeah, sure! What? Raise a child that can render you unconscious by pinching your neck? I don't think so, darling! (edit)
(Patsy shakes cigarette ashes into the baby's crib)
Saffy: Don't!
Eddie: What?
Saffy: She always does that!
Eddie: Of course she always does it because you react. The only way to stop her is not to react. It's like Pavlov's dog, darling! The longer you go on reacting, the more she's going to do it, isn't she?! (edit)
