Ruth : Well, I think it's a great idea.
Cora : You weren't concentrating, were you Ruth?
Ruth : I was. We're going to raise money to buy a sofa for the hospital in John's name.
Celia : By posing for a nude calendar!
Ruth : Oh no!
Chris : Oh sit down. I'm not asking you to straddle an 'Arley Davidson.
Celia : It's still a bit of a leap from Burnsall church, love.
Chris : That's the 'ole point. It's an alternative calendar, it's...
Annie : It's what John suggested.
Chris : Did he?
Annie : The last stage of the flower is the most glorious. So what this calendar would be saying is "actually, yes John, we agree".
Ruth : With respect, I didn't hear him use the phrase "whip your bras off"

Marie : Victoria Sponge. Annie's on Victoria sponge.

Annie : Sorry I'm late. It just took a bit longer than... Oh my God, the cake!
Chris : Told you.

Cora : I'm surprised they printed it.
Jessie : It's probably all over the internet by now.
Annie : By the sound of it, most people have seen it already.
Chris : Lots of people have photos taken with their tops off on holiday in Ibiza don't they?
Ruth : It probably just came as a slight shock Chris, what with the previous fifteen photos being of flower arrangements.

Ruth : Does look pretty though.
Chris : Whose side are you on, Brutus?
Ruth : No, I didn't mean...
Chris : What's your event by the way?
Ruth : Tea tray, on an international theme. I did Jamaica but it could be anywhere in the Caribbean.
Chris : You know, if more people did WI, there'd be half the need for hallucinogenic drugs.
