Quotes

Phillipa: I'm trying new contact lenses.
Dolly: I liked you in glasses.
Phillipa: Thanks.
Dolly: They diminished your nostrils. (edit)
Bren: I wish I'd met you twenty years ago. Well, not twenty years ago, I had a perm back them.
Tony: Twenty years ago, I think I did! (edit)
Jean: I'll tell you about the time Keith's Aunty Betty from Cockermouth found two albino gerbils under the spare bed.
Phillipa: Awww... Did they mate?
Jean: Well they didn't, what with them being two angora bed socks. (edit)
Tony: Did you drive in Anita? How was the traffic?
Anita: The traffic?
Tony: Yeah, you know, cars on the road, passing each other?
Anita: Didn't come that way.
Tony: Yeah, of course you didn't. (edit)
Stan: (on being asked what his Millennium regrets are) I failed to exploit the potential of the cross-head screwdriver. It was publicly pretty shameful.
(edit)

Trivia

add »
The baby on the fire escape is found, at the very end of the episode, to be Anita's. For those who pay close attention, they could have worked this out earlier - when there's a close-up of the baby after it's found, it is wearing the knitted hat Anita was showing her work-mates in the episode 'Catering'. (edit)
The baby on the doorstep is Anita's. (edit)
