:: SALLY ::

 

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. She was belligerently single, twisted and desperate.

 

"But now all of the relationships have blossomed, and we are seeing more of her independent life.

 

"This new romance with Patrick is a big thing to Sally and it's mutated into something much more for both of them. Now she is living a dream. Patrick really turns her on!

 

"He has disgusting self-confidence and is not called tripod man for nothing. He has no morals and very little brain!

 

"It's inspired writing, and Steven has written a lovely part for me!

 

"Sally and I are very different, but I love working on her vulnerability - on the surface she's cruel, but that's more fun to play than niceness!"

:: QUOTE/UNQUOTE ::

 

9 AND A HALF MINUTES

 

Sally: "Good. I don't like a guy with flowers, means he's done something he shouldn't. The bigger the bouquet, the younger she was."

 

Sally: "It's a relationship. We have to discuss things now, Patrick. There's a time for just taking off and enjoying yourself and that time is over. Now, we have to have huge, enormous discussions first, with crying."

 

NIGHTLINES

 

Sally: "It's 11.30"
Patrick: "Yes, but we've finished the sex. People should be sleeping!"
Sally: "Maybe you should make an announcement. Tonight's performance is over, you may sleep now!"
Patrick : "Maybe!"
Sally: "Instead of just saying it to me!"

 

Sally: "You're both being silly now. Susan, you're not about to mutilate anyone with your hormones. And Steve, nobody's saying you've got testicles!"

 

Sally: "Of course it's too early. It's far too early! I don't want a baby yet. You've got to get a cat first, see if you're maternal."
Patrick: "You've already got a cat!"
Sally: "Well, I'll shave it, see if I still like it!"

 

Sally: "Have you seen the tummies on new mothers? Mummy tummies are a tragedy in wobble form. It's like they haven't set properly. Those poor women, they turn around and it takes about a minute for everything to face the same way!"

 

Sally: "Can't believe I'm with a man with a pregnancy fetish."
Patrick: "Can't believe I'm with a woman who suddenly wants a baby."
Sally: "How's it ever going to work?"

 

BEDTIME

 

Sally: "You were being all Susan-y"
Susan: "Well, since I am Susan, that's a tad unspecific."
Sally:"You were being all "I'm Susan. I'm sensible. I know better than you. I make lots of lists. I've got the perkiest little bottom in all of Toy Land and I trot along the street like a happy trotting elf!...I'm sorry, I just opened my mouth and there was a bit more in there than I was expecting."

 

 

 

CIRCUS OF THE EPIDURALS

 

Jane: "Why wouldn't you be able to cope?"
Sally: "Oh, no reason.......DON'T CUT THE MUFFIN!"
Jane: "What?! What's wrong?"
Sally: "I don't like.....muffin crumbs!"

 

Sally: "Look, it's possible, just possible, that witnessing Susan giving birth could cause me to have issues. I am prone to issues. I come out in issues at the drop of a hat!"

 

Jane: "How do you think Susan would feel about me as a birth partner?"
Sally: "She'll be half-naked and screaming in agony, she'll be no trouble."

 

Jill: "I'm sorry, I'm getting Madame Butterfly from somewhere?"
Sally: "Sorry, it's me. I have an accidental hum."
Jill: "Accidental?"
Sally: "Yeah, there's a quartet."

 

THE NAKED LIVING ROOM

 

Sally: "There are rules. There's a procedure! We don't just say can I come up to your flat. We hint at the possibility that at some point in the distant future, we might linger momentarily in the right postcode. A woman with her clothes on has negotiating power. We have what they want and we've got to sit on it. Sorry, that was a bit more graphic than I was aiming for!"

 

 

 

9 AND A HALF MONTHS

 

Sally: "Did you sleep with Jane? A straight answer please."
Patrick: "There's more than one way to skin a cat."
Sally: "That doesn't mean anything!"
Patrick: "Give me a break, I'm trying think on my feet!"
Sally: "I know! It's like watching a whale knit!!"

 

Sally: "This is an engagement ring."
Patrick: "Yes, it is."
Sally: "An engagement ring! Do you have a girlfriend?!"
Patrick: "Yes Sally. You."
Sally: "Me?!"
Patrick: "Yes, you."
Sally: "Who are you proposing to then?!"
Patrick: "Who do you think??...I was waiting, as it happens, for the right romantic moment."
Sally: "Fuck! Fuck. Fuckity-fuck!"
Patrick: "Was that a yes?"
