Geraldine Griffiths: Sally

Quotes 

• [Shirley is having a girls' night out with her friends in the pub] 

  Shirley Valentine : D'you know. When I was a girl, we'd never even *heard* of the clitoris. When I first read about it, I thought it was pronounced "clit-OR-is".

  Sally : It sounds nicer that way.

  Shirley Valentine : It sounds as if it could be a name. "Oh, hiya ClitORis. How are you?"

  Sally : That makes it sound a bit crude, somehow.

  Shirley Valentine : Shut up! Why not? Plenty of men walking round called Dick.

  [they all laugh] 

  Shirley Valentine : Well, that's the way I thought it was pronounced when I mentioned it to Joe, sitting there in the front room one night. I said "Joe, have you ever heard of the clitORis?". He didn't even look up from his paper. "Yeah, but it doesn't go as well as the Ford Escort."
