Emily Joyce: Janet Dawkins

Quotes 

• Janet Dawkins : Thermoman would be proud of you.

  Ella Dawkins : Oh, no comparison Janet. He goes and rescues every Tom, Dick and Harry. He doesn't exercise any taste or judgement.

  George Sunday : I know, but ...

  Stanley Dawkins : We rescue selectively.

  Janet Dawkins : Selectively?

  Ella Dawkins : British people.

  Stanley Dawkins : And polite people.

  Ella Dawkins : Well, our sort of people. No riff-raff with bad manners and common accents.

  Janet Dawkins : So, on this cruise liner who haven't you rescued?

  Ella Dawkins : Oh, well the crew, obviously. I mean they didn't speak any English.

  Janet Dawkins : Mom!

  Ella Dawkins : Naughty children.

  Janet Dawkins : *Mom!*

  Ella Dawkins : And loud, fat Americans.

  Janet Dawkins : Oh yeah, fair enough.

• [first lines] 

  Mr Lawrence : I've, uh, come for my blood test.

  Janet : Oh, Mr Lawrence; shouldn't keep you too long.

  Mr Lawrence : I've been very good. Um, wife and I haven't made love for ten days, as instructed.

  Janet : Instructed by who?

  Mr Lawrence : By your receptionist, Mrs Raven. She said it was vital that we abstain for ten days before my test so that the, uh, my blood doesn't get overheated.

  Janet : Ah, did she?

  Mr Lawrence : Yes, I've been doing the other things as well, you know; having three cold baths a day; running round the garden naked.

  Janet : Right. Anything else she's told you?

  Mr Lawrence : She said it was vital that I get rid of impurities, so she told me to stop eating five days ago.

  Janet : And you did!

  Mr Lawrence : Not a crisp has passed these lips.

  Janet : Right. Right. Well, if you'd like to take as seat.

  Mr Lawrence : Yes, I wouldn't mind; I feel a little faint.

• Janet : Come back as Thermoman and kiss the Thermo-breath of life into my parents and Mrs Raven.

  [George looks sceptical] 

  Janet : George, what's better: you kiss them, or they die an agonizing death? - No, don't answer that, just do it!

• [last lines] 

  Ollie : When Daddy sucked the powers out of Granny and Grandpa, did he suck anything else?

  Janet : What do you mean?

  George : Got to go; some Amazonian peasants are trapped in rising flood waters. No, it's OK.

  Janet : Why? They're safe?

  George : No, they're *peasants*, Janet. Got to have some standards!

  Ollie : See what I mean?

  George : I think I'll take in a round of golf instead.
