Quote from The Reunion
Janette: So are you still in your little shop, Mary?
Mary: Woolworths is actually quite a big shop, but, yes, I am, although I'm starting university next year. I'm going to study English.
Janette: [laughs] Oh, my God, that's so funny! That's such a funny joke! Hilarious! That is hilarious! [stops laughing] Well, look, we are gonna go and work the room. We probably won't stay super late, because Richard has an early start in the morning, because he's a surgeon.
Joe: Before you head off, son, I have a question for you. When you take someone's tonsils out, do you hang on to them? Do you whack them in a jar and put them in a storage cupboard, or whatever? [Richard and Janette shake their heads] What, you chuck them away?! [Richard and Janette nod] Ah. I'll pass that on.
Janette: OK, then. It was so lovely catching up. We should all do brunch sometime.
Quote from The Reunion
Gerry: I mean, it's incredible. Not a squeak.

Joe: I don't wanna slap him. I want you to slap him. Then he might slap you back, which I would enjoy.
Quote from The Reunion

Gerry: Oh, morning, Joe.
Quote from Halloween
Aunt Sarah: I've booked to see Bjorn Again. Have to give this a miss.
Mary: You're going to give your own engagement party a miss?
Joe: Well, now, to be fair, as ABBA tribute acts go, they're the best in the country.
Aunt Sarah: They really are the genuine article.
Gerry: Except, by definition, they're not. They're a tribute act.
Joe: You're an arsehole act!
