Christine Garland : [heated argument] Don't you see? Because she isn't used to them that this sort of thing happens. She must learn to live with other children.
Harry Garland : We've had this out over fifty times. We've all tried to explain it.
Christine Garland : All? You mean you and your family. Your father who's so lazy he wouldn't lift a finger to help and your mother who uses Mandy as something to gush about and sentimentalise over like a, like a spinster with a lap dog.
Harry Garland : CHRIS.
Christine Garland : And YOU are ashamed of Mandy... wanting to keep her out of sight. YOU and your kindness, you don't care a wrap about her.
Harry Garland : Shut-up!
Christine Garland : All you care about is yourself, you'd rather she remain dumb!

Harry Garland : [after Mandy comes in from outside, crying] What happened, did the dog bite her or something?
Christine Garland : [concerned] I don't know. Something frightened her. She couldn't tell me what. Harry, I can't go on like this. It was all right when she was a baby, but now, you never know, I don't know whether she's being naughty and playing me up or whether there's something really the matter.
[sternly]
Christine Garland : There's just no contact.
[desperately]
Christine Garland : There must be something we can do?
