GO TO : Sally | Episode Descriptions | Quotes | Links
What does Kate have to say about her character?
"I suppose when the series began Sally was mainly there as Susan’s paranoid and needy best friend. But now all of the relationships have blossomed, and we are seeing more of her independent life. The possibility of a romance with Patrick is a really big thing to Sally, and it’s mutated into something much more for both of them. It’s inspired writing, and Steven Moffat has written a lovely part for me!" - BBC press kit

SPLIT
Sally: "You've always got to send a man a book when you split up to prove how you're a caring, giving person and how they're going to die alone in a pit of their own filth."
Susan: "It just seems like a really needy thing to do. I don't do needy!"
Sally: "You're a woman, needy is our golf!"
Susan: "What does that mean?"
Sally: "I don't know! I didn't think it through."
Susan: "How are you supposed to measure time with the man you want to spend the rest of your life with? What would make sense? Centuries? Nanoseconds?"
Sally: "Eggs."
FAITHLESS
Susan: "Need any help translating that one?"
Sally: "These are my ovaries."
Susan: "Please come inside."
Patrick: "Careful Jeff! She's packing ovaries!"
UNCONDITIONAL SEX
Susan: "My god, she's evil!"
Sally: "Evil? She's practically you!"
Susan: "I know!"
Sally (talking about the Man Test agency): "I used to do part time work for her. It was great fun! And so much cheaper than a dating agency."
Jane: "I should do that. I'd be good at that."
Sally: "Oh it was great. If they went for you, you got to write a really scathing report about what an immoral scum bag they were! Before they'd even woken up!"
Steve: "And what would happen if they didn't go for you?"
Sally: "I have absolutely no idea."
REMEMBER THIS
Sally: "Always the same with men isn't it? Looks like a starter handle, works like an off switch."
Sally: "Be honest with me. In this dress, do I have a hint of vastness?"
Susan: "No."
Sally: "Seriously? Below the waist doesn't say 'Look what's washed up on the beach boys. The settlement is saved!'?"
Susan: "You look great!"
Sally: "I don't want to look great, I want to look thin!"
Sally: "Men always want Susan's number. It's her tiny little bottom isn't it? Tiniest, little bottom in the world. It's like two tiny puppies in a tiny little sack! That's why she bounces when she walks. Her little bottom is just so happy with all the tiny littleness in the world. Probably sings in the shower. It's the Walt Disney arse!"
Susan: "Why do I always end up arranging a cab for the office party drunk? It's becoming part of my job description."
Sally: "That's a fucking shame!"
Susan: "In this case, I feel responsible."
Sally: "You're too nice. You've got a face like a doorknob! I wish I was a lesbian and you were a man!"
THE FRECKLE, THE KEY AND THE COUPLE WHO WEREN'T
Sally: "You see, we're not actually a couple. Lot of people make that mistake but we're not. We're friends. I mean, we did have a sort of brief flingette, that's probably what you're picking up on, but it's all over. And we're totally relaxed about that, it's no big deal. We're even trying to see less of each other so we can develop other relationships, which is great! We're Mr and Mrs Cool! Except not married. Which is fantastic. Actually, I don't even know how you got me onto this boring old subject! What was the question?"
James: "As I recall, 'Hello'"
Sally: "Actually, Susan, you're thinking of Patrick. He's got a mole up there."
Patrick: "Yep, that's it! That's mine! That's the one you're thinking of. Had it for years. Thanks for noticing!"
Sally: "I'll keep an eye on it for you if you like?"
Patrick: "That could be our relationship. We could be mole buddies. I could keep an eye on yours."
Sally: "Get a magazine!"
THE GIRL WITH ONE HEART
Susan: "I don't see the problem?"
Sally : "You never see the problem! You are problem blind! You'll probably carry on being happy till the day you die, then you'll see."
Sally (talking about Patrick's new girlfriend): "That her?"
Susan: "'Fraid so. Patrick's in the loo."
Sally: "She's got perfect skin. Deep fry everything!"
Sally: "How could I be obvious?! I was going for repressed! I'm usually so good at that."
Sally: "I thought we were talking about Patrick! I wasn't saying I was completely mad about you, you stupid woman, I was saying I was mad about Patrick!"
PERHAPS, PERHAPS, PERHAPS
Sally: "It's so blue and liney! It's really liney. It's like a whole blue line of blue lineyness!"
Sally: "Will you two shut up about your tests, I'm going to have a baby! A bald, noisy thing with eyes is going to climb out of my genitals and destroy my life. And my mother's going to side with it!"
Sally: "I don't want Mr Superbly Incredibly Fantasticness, you stupid, stupid arse! I want you!"
Patrick: "For God's sake, Sally!"
Sally: "What? What??"
Patrick: "I was talking about me!"
