Quotes33

  • Hannah: I suppose on a clear day you can see the class struggle from here.
  • Annie: I'll cook you some pasta, like the old days.
  • Hannah: Living in the pasta.
  • Hannah: I've always envied you, you know.
  • Annie: Aw, don't be so daft.
  • Hannah: I have!
  • Annie: Why?
  • Hannah: I don't know. I admire your innocence.
  • Annie: What do you mean?
  • Hannah: You're a very sort of trusting person.
  • Annie: I trust people too easily. That's why I get walked over. You see, I envy your ability to stand on your own two feet.
  • Hannah: Yeah, but that's just self-protection, isn't it?
  • Annie: And the way you deal with men.
  • Hannah: That's all I ever do is deal with them. I mean, at least you're able to fall in love with them - even though you are a walking open wound. I'm just not strong enough to be as vulnerable as you.
  • Annie: But I see that vulnerability as a weakness. You're the strong one.
  • Hannah: Well, see, if we could be a combination, we'd be the perfect woman, wouldn't we? Unfortunately, we can't.
  • Hannah: When I look at men, all I see is dangerous weakness. I don't want it to be that way. I just can't help it. Makes me feel lonely.
  • Hannah: I don't mind saying hello at stations, but I don't like saying good-bye.
  • Annie: I don't like stations. I like trains though.
  • Annie: That's the main reason why I've got to leave home again - because, like, I just depend too much on me Mum.
  • Hannah: My Mum depends too much on me.
  • Hannah: So what's wrong with Lance, then?
  • Adrian: Lance? He went out for a vindaloo last night.
  • Hannah: Oh, spare us the details.
  • Annie: What's he like?
  • Hannah: What do you mean?
  • Annie: You know, in the sack.
  • Hannah: He's like a sack of potatoes in the sack.
  • Annie: Here's to us.
  • Hannah: The "Brontë" sisters.
  • Annie: Oh, yeah. We always get the...
  • Hannah, Annie: Brunt of everything.
  • Hannah: This isn't a bordello you know, you can't just walk into any boudoir and choose a different bint!
  • Hannah: [Pretending to cough and choke] An analogy to dust. Now, what could that be? God's dandruff, maybe.
  • Annie: Oh, I don't know. Where are you supposed to meet a man, you know, at 30?
  • Hannah: Did you leave your Zimmer frame on the train?
  • Hannah: [to Ricky at the pub] Excuse me! Do you think your ample form has anything to do with the fact that you stuff your face? Or is it that you're not getting enough sex, may-be?
  • Claire: Is that eczema?
  • Annie: No, it's dermatitis.
  • Hannah: Well, it's better than determine-itis which is what I've got.
  • [Slaps herself on her forehead]
  • Hannah: Let's face it.
  • Annie: I'm so superstitious.
  • Hannah: You're allowed to be.
  • Annie: That's daft, I know.
  • Annie: Oh, a fax machine!
  • Hannah: Yeah, I need it for work, really.
  • Annie: I like the yellow. It's still my favorite color, you know.
  • Hannah: Yeah, I painted it when I moved in.
  • Annie: Primrose.
  • Hannah: Looks like piss. I've gone off it now. Right. Let's put the kettle on.
  • Hannah: There's the bathroom, if you want to have a crap.
  • Ricky: It's like coming forward.
  • Hannah: Well, it's better than being backward.
  • Ricky: You're very aggressive.
  • Hannah: So?
  • Ricky: That might come from insecurity.
  • Hannah: Well, we're all insecure.
