- Maddy Magellan: [entering restaurant with Gary Lobo] I don't think I'll be spending the morning in a tank of boiling hot ink again in a hurry...

- Maddy Magellan: I feel like a poached octopus!
- [waiter nods his head, as if acknowledging an order]
- Gary Lobo: [at a table] Yeah, Personally I found her novels disturbing yet, er, compelling. When she writes, for example, of a mutant fetus that strangles a young girl with its umbilical cord. The metaphor is, er, obvious
- [starts to touch Maddy's hands across the table]
- Gary Lobo: yet to mine the vilest scenes of obscenity to get to the core of the human condition...

- Maddy Magellan: What the hell is this?
- Waiter: Your order madam - the poached octopus...
- Maddy Magellan: [spluttering] Poached oct-? Have you gone stark staring bonkers?
- Waiter: If there's been a mistake, my sincerest apologies. It's no problem, I'll have it returned and you can place another order.

- [begins to tuck in]
