Quotes 

• Martin Sixsmith : What you're talking about is what they call a human interest story; I don't do those.

  Jane : Why not?

  Martin Sixsmith : Because "human interest story" is a euphemism for stories about weak-minded, vulnerable, ignorant people, to fill in newspapers read by vulnerable, weak-minded, ignorant people. Not that you are.

• Jane : How do you feel about that, going to America with Martin?

  Philomena : [hesitates]  I, uh, I don't know.

  Jane : I could come with you if you like.

  Philomena : No no no, you have your work. I'm only worried that Martin would have to go all that way with a daft old woman like me.

  Martin Sixsmith : I don't think you're daft.

  Philomena : Oh, go away widja.

  Martin Sixsmith : Or old.
