  Bernard : Never had a nice one?

  Fran : No, never. And I know they exist because I've seen them on the telly. You had one?

  Bernard : Well, there was this one woman, Janine. I don't know if it was "nice", but it was... huge! So there was this enormous sense of value.

• Fran : Oh, would you just look at these breasts...

• Fran : I am a giant ear, waiting for your songs of niceness.

• Fran : How often do you talk to your mother?

  Ben : The normal amount, really, four or five times a day.

• Fran : What have all these people got in common? Elton John, Ian McKellen and Jean Paul Gautier?

  Ben : Well, they're all fabulous!

• Fran : Just a hunch...

• Ben : You've saved my life Fran. I've been fighting this for so long, but why am I fighting? Thank you!

  Fran : [scoffing tons of ice-cream]  I'm happy. I'm really so happy for you.
