QUOTES FROM Gordon Pinsent CHARACTERS

Vera
Wouldn't be too much, would it, if I asked what in the name of God you're doing in our bed?
Murray French
Sorry. I know it's after office hours.
Vera
It's not so much the time that bothers me, as the fact that we're all here in bed together. It's the whole threesome thing I'm not that comfortable with.
Simon
Now, now, he doesn't drop by that often.
