- Amy: I was perfectly happy being miserable.
-
- Jack: She doesn't need someone who's impressive, Mum. She needs someone who'll love her.
-
- Anna: All I'm saying is, if you'd like a couple of days off around the 22nd, it would be good for us.
- Jack: But she's not due until the 25th, Anna.
- Anna: Fine, I'm just saying things will be more manageable around the 22nd.
- Jack: All right. sure. I'll ask Sarah to check her diary and see if she can bring the birth forward.
-
- Jack: Do you want nipple pads or nipple shield or just the pads?
- Amy: Bastard.
- Jack: Okay, I'll get both. Flesh colored or white? [shrugs]
- Amy: If your father goes on this way, we're going to end up being a single parent family.
