Susan Harper : Look. Janey's diary.
Ben Harper : Where did you get that?
Susan Harper : I found it.
Ben Harper : You... found it? In what sense, found? Found as in fine toothcomb search of her personal possessions?
Susan Harper : No, found in the sense that Fleming discovered penicillin. He was looking for something else.
Ben Harper : Right. What... what were you looking for?
Susan Harper : What was Fleming looking for? The point is I found it.

Ben Harper : [about Janey's diary] Eureka! Now put it back before all hell breaks loose! You don't want Janey to think you r... you've read it, haven't you?
Susan Harper : [Long pause] Yes, I did. And it's... it's horrible!
Ben Harper : Why? Er... what, erm... what does it say?
Susan Harper : She says 'Mum doesn't trust me'.
Susan Harper : And?
Ben Harper : Isn't that enough?
Ben Harper : Well, you don't trust her! You've read her diary!

Susan Harper : What sort of party is it going to be?
Ben Harper : I'll tell you what sort of party it's going to be: ear-splitting music, stains on the carpet, peeing in the shrubbery, groping in the bedrooms!
Janey Harper : Should I be taking notes?
Nick : Don't worry, dad. I'll keep an eye on things.
Janey Harper : Yeah! Yeah, like you're invited!
Nick : I know lots of boys!
Janey Harper : Er, don't worry, dad! Nick will keep an eye on things!

Susan Harper : What are we going to tell the Pattersons?
Ben Harper : Just tell them we had to prevent the four horsemen of the Apocalypse from trashing our house and we maybe a bit late!
Susan Harper : You're being ridiculous. There are thousands of parties in London on a Saturday night. It's not going to be our house.
Ben Harper : Of course it's our house! They said the girl's parents were idiots!

Ben Harper : [rhetorically] Do you think I care what the neighbours think?
Susan Harper : No, that's why I had to do it.
Ben Harper : Well I'm going to use the other bathroom because I have to do it.
Susan Harper : You can't!
Ben Harper : You just watch me!
