Donna
- Donna: Why are you here? What are you doing here?
- Bill: I'm writing a travel piece.
- Harry Bright: I'm, I'm here on a spontaneous holiday.
- Sam Carmichael: Er, I just dropped in to say... hi.
- Sam Carmichael: Am I getting this right? Sophie may be mine, but she may be Bill's or Harry's?
- Donna: Yeah. Yes! That's right. And don't get all self-righteous with me, because you have no one but yourself to blame!
- Sophie: Yeah, if you hadn't just dumped my mother and gone off and married somebody else...
- Sam Carmichael: Hey, hey, wait a minute. I had to go home. I was engaged. But I told Lorraine I couldn't marry her and I came right back!
- Donna: You... you... Why didn't you call me?
- Sam Carmichael: Because I was crazy enough to think that you would be waiting for me. Only when I arrived, they told me you were off with some other guy. So... Lorraine called me an idiot and married me to prove it.
- Donna: [about the three "dads"] They have no right to turn up like this. What have they ever done for their daughter? Huh?
- Rosie: Donna, Donna, they didn't know she existed.
- Donna: Well, they didn't need to know, did they? I've done a great job with Soph all by myself, and I won't be muscled out by an e... jaculation!
- Donna: Okay, now, the thing about the toilet... If it doesn't flush right away, just go, and come back in a while, and it should... Nothing works around here, except for me.
- Donna: I'm gonna arrange for a boat to take you all back to the mainland.
- Bill: I have a boat, Donna.
- Donna: You have a boat? Good, get on it. And, er, anchors aweigh!
- Sam Carmichael: Hey...
- Donna: Away aweigh!
- Sam Carmichael: Donna...
- Bill, Sam Carmichael, Harry Bright: [together] It's good to see you!
- Tanya: [talking about Donna's money troubles and her life in general] Yeah, but are you being taken care of?
- Donna: What do you mean?
- Tanya: Are you getting any?
- Donna: Oh, you mean...
- [turns on the drill, making loud noises]
- Donna: [to the drill] Down, boy. Down, boy! No, it takes too much energy.
- Rosie: Yeah, just more plumbing to be maintained, isn't it?
- Sophie: Do you think I'm letting you down?
- Donna: Why would you even think that?
- Sophie: Oh, because... of what you've done. I mean, the Dynamos, raising a kid... and running a business, all on your own.
- Donna: Well, honey - I didn't have a choice. I couldn't go home. You know? When I got pregnant, my mother told me not to bother coming back. And I wouldn't have had it any other way. My God, look at what *we've* had.
