| Quotes |
[Mam and Dad are on a coach]
Mam: It's one of them buses with a lavatory. Are you going to go? Dad: I don't want to go. Mam: I do. Dad: Well go then. Mam: I don't want *everybody* to know I'm going. Dad: [looking across at another passenger] She's been in twice already. She were in there before we got to Stanningley. Anyway, what's does it matter what folk think? We're retired now. Mam: All right. Hold me bag. [Mam walks to the back of the bus, goes into the cubicle and comes back a few minutes later] Mam: I went. It's very ingenious. They've got it in above where they generally put the luggage. You want to go. Dad: I don't want to go. Mam: That's your trouble - no spirit of adventure. [pause] Mam: I wonder where it goes. Dad: What? Mam: You know... I expect it's scattered on the central reservation. [Man and Dad chuckle] See more » |
