“You make me laugh like a loon on loon tablets!”

“Non...I am DANCING IN MY NUDDY-PANTS!!!'And we both laughed like loons on loon tablets. I danced for ages round the house in my nuddy-pants. Also, I did this brilliant thing-I danced in the front window just for a second whilst Mr. Across the Road was drawing his curtains. He will never be sure if he saw a mirage or not. That is the kind of person I am. Not really the kind of person who goes and raises elks in Whakatane.”

“Rosie laughed in a not too reassuring way if you like sane laughter.”

“How do you make yourself not like someone?”

“He who laughs last laughs the laughiest.”

“I am looking at you and you are looking at me. This is very good. I am looking and I am liking. You are looking and you are thinking, 'I hope she doesn't hit me with her crop.' But that is because I am me and you are you.”

“You wouldn't say ' You've got the crappest eyes I've ever seen. Your eyes make me physically sick.”
