About her hubby, Joe:
"I'm not sayin' he's bad, my fella. He's just no bleedin' good."

At dinner with Joe:
"It's a good job we're not having soup, or else I'd put me head in it and drown meself."

About her neighbor Gillian:
"I'm not sayin' she's a bragger, but if you've been to Paradise, she's got a season ticket. She's that type, Gillian, you know. If you've got a headache, she's got a brain tumor. "

About her friend Jane:
"Jane divorced her husband. I never knew him, it was before I met her. Apparently she came home from work unexpectedly one morning and found him in bed with the milkman. Honest to God, the milkman ! But from that day forward I've noticed she never takes milk in her tea. "

48. I love that movie.

I may have to make a DVD purchase.

[Joe Chi Minh]

41. It wasn't what

the character played by Cameron Diaz said, as what she didn't say that was hilarious. The film was one of the funniest black comedies I've seen, and was called Head Above Water.

After inadvertently stepping on a trap door, and hearing the neck of her unconscious ex-boyfriend, played by Billy Zane, bundled beneath it, snap, she carried on chatting, as if nothing had happened!

Her current boy friend, whose beach house they were in, but who didn't know of Zane's presence, alive or dead, was a judge played by Harvey Keitel.
