Rodney: The atmosphere, I suppose. (edit)
(Rodney feels awkward about buying condoms.)
Rodney: I keep going to buy them ...
Del: Yeah? Go on.
Rodney: Well, there's a sort of stigma attached to them.
Del: No, that's just a piece of silver foil. You chuck it away. (edit)
(Rodney has to pretend he's fourteen.)
Carmen: Come on, Rodney, don't be shy. You'll soon make friends. We're all going for jumbo hamburgers and double french fries.
Del: Oh, good. That's his favourite.
Cassandra: Don't get any ketchup down your shirt.
Rodney: Et tu, Cassandra? (edit)
Rodney: That's strange that is.
Del: What is?
Rodney: Well I noticed it on the plane but it didn't quite register. Their all Mum's and Dad's. They've all brought their kids with them.
Del: It's not the parents who are the winners Rodder's... it's the kids. You see Rodney's painting won... in the under 15 years old category.
Cassandra: So they think Rodney's 15?
Del: Nah! They think you're 14! (edit)
