Quotes 

• Jennifer : [Jennifer and Dawn are dressed in their attire from Gone with the Wind, Jennifer prods Dawn in the breast]  It's good that

  [Jennifer plays with Dawn's breasts and buttocks and making silly sound effects while Dawn looks unimpressed at the camera] 

  Jennifer : It's good isn't it?

  Dawn : [Serious tone]  I've taken the padding off Jennifer.

• [Holding up a T-shirt with the word Chanel written across] 

  Jennifer : How much you think that cost?

  Dawn : T-shirt? Three pound fifty, tops.

  Jennifer : Forty quid.

  Dawn : No!

  Jennifer : Forty quid she paid for that, I couldn't believe it. You know how's I know? Dry clean, apparently. Dry clean a t-shirt, I couldn't believe it. I should be dry cleaning her knickers next time.

• [they are spoofing "Gone With the Wind"; Jennifer is affecting a Southern accent] 

  Jennifer : Oh whatever will I wear to the party tonight, Mammie?

  Dawn : [in her normal English accent]  I thought you were going to wear this frock.

  Jennifer : [grabs the dress]  Oh fiddle-dee-dee!

  Dawn : Should I have that dry-cleaned, then?

  Jennifer : [reverts to her English accent]  What?

  Dawn : The dress? Do you want me to go and drop it at the dry cleaners?

  Jennifer : Maybe you should just go and beat it on a rock!

  Dawn : What? Why?

  Jennifer : Because you're my SLAVE!

• Jennifer : Oh fiddle-dee-diddle-dee-dee! Do you think that Rhett will ask me to dance tonight at the party?

  Dawn : I don't know. I'm not paid to think, apparently.

• [in a "Gone With the Wind" spoof] 

  Jennifer : [doing her best to affect a Southern accent]  Why aren't you wearing the face paint I gave you?

  Dawn : I tried it on but it just looked stupid.

  Jennifer : Well are you at least going to try the accent?

  Dawn : Oh, I meant to ask you about that. Do you think I should?

  Jennifer : Well, try it. "How are you doing today?"

  Dawn : Oh, very well, thank you. I had lunch and...

  Jennifer : No, SAY it!

  Dawn : Oh.

  [attempts a Southern accent and sounds more like a mentally ill person] 

  Dawn : Howarryu durrin? HAH-AH-AR-YER-DORN?

  Jennifer : Oh, fiddle-dee-diddle-dee-diddle-dee-diddle-dee dee. Bring me some crushed ice and a surrey with a fringe on top!

  Dawn : Well are YOU going to try the accent?

  Jennifer : [breaks character angrily]  I *AM*!
