  Colleen : Oh sorry, sorry, couldn't quite hear you for the sound of my skin crawling.

• Hilda : Gemma, I'd like to lodge a complaint!

  Gemma : What's wrong?

  Hilda : Mildred's hogging Jack! By the time I get my go, he'll be spent!

  Gemma : Right. Umm... well maybe when Mildred's done, you can let Jack recharge himself a bit, and then have your go. On. Him.

  [looks at Terry] 

  Gemma : Is it wrong I'm starting to feel like a nautical pimp?

  Hilda : Tell him, Mildred, tell him everything.

  Mildred : If he goes on like this, I'll tell him my pin number. Yours too, Hilda.

  Hilda : 2596, Jack.
