- But not a proper one.
I know the difference between butter and margarine.
- Yeah? Well, have another squeeze.
- Stop askin' me to touch yer busters! You'll never be a proper woman with that attitude.
Women keep a very tight rein on their breasts.
They don't offer them round like a bag of sweets.

Ah, well, it's good to see these places while you're young.
We went to this shop what just sells fudge.
Had all sorts, didn't they? Mm.

Leb.
Show 'em Preston, they get an attitude! Right, then.
Fifteen notes.

I mean Don't want to speak ill of the dumped, like, but She shagged Little Darren, then she shagged Big Darren - that party you didn't go to - then, er Well, only last week she shagged Flu Strength Darren.
I thought you knew.
It-it doesn't surprise me.
I She dumped me, actually.
- It was a quarter, weren't it? - Yeah.
Nice one.
(SIGHS) I don't know what to do.
Well, have you, er thought of changin' yer name to Darren? I justI just really need to talk to somebody about it.
- You see, I really - (GLASS TINKLES) What the bloody hell? Oh! Mrs Slocombe, you cow! - I'll be off, then.

She could be looking at me and seeing someone else.
- Have you been telling people we've split up? - What about you? Starting off your new life on karaoke down at the Horses! ''Things Can Only Get Better''? The theme from ''Rentaghost''? She said you left with some pretty young girl.
- Persia? - I never! I swear.
Nicki, the only third person in this relationship is paranoia.
My mum says all men are programmed to be unfaithful.
Obviously I can't speak for all men like yer mam can, but personally, I enjoy the security of being in a relationship.
You'd better do, or I'll kick yer 'ead in! - Have you had another woman in here? - No! It bloody smells like it! I had a transvestite in, but it were for business.
It's perfume.
I bought it you as a gift.
But Mrs Slocombe smashed it, so now the flat smells like a big girl.
Youbought ME perfume? - Are you on an E or what? - No, I bought it you 'cause I Well, I wanted to make up for the rats.
I thought you deserved it.
I'll show you the broken bottle, if you fancy.
That is SO romantic.
You look well sexy when you're half-cut.
Even you look sexy when I'm half-cut.
- Rrraow.
- Come here, you wanker.
Give us a kiss.
There, erthere isn't anyone coming round, is there? No, why? Was you thinking anything specificular? Maybe.
