Kate Lonergan: Marian

Quotes 

• Robin : You know what we could do with? An au pair!

  Marian : Robin!

  Barrington : You can have a bite of this apple if you want.

  Robin : No, seriously! A nice little Malaysian girl or something.

  Marian : Are you deliberately trying to wind me up?

  Robin : I mean, it'd be helping the third world, you know. We wouldn't rip her off. She'd just do the washing and cooking and cleaning and ironing and washing-up and dusting and maybe blow-dry my hair when she's got a minute, and in return you'd give her English lessons. It wouldn't cost us a penny!

• 'Rotten' Rose Scargill : I'm sales representative for a major house renovation corporation.

  Marian : Gosh! For one minute I thought you were one of those creeps who hang around outsiude supermarkets trying to sell second-rate conservatories and draughty double glazing!

  'Rotten' Rose Scargill : Well, at least I'm employed. I'm not a housewife like *some* people.

  Marian : What do you mean? I'm a freedom fighter, and you know it.

  'Rotten' Rose Scargill : A *freedom fighter*. Of course! I'd forgotten. That's why you have to do the shopping, isn't it? So your men have got the freedom to fight.

  Marian : Rose!

  'Rotten' Rose Scargill : By the way, those are nasty bags you've got under your eyes, love. Why don't you put your shopping in them?
