Quotes
-
Martin Crane : Oh hi, Daphne!
Daphne Moon : [brave smile] Hello! I'm just so excited about the gift I just got for you, Mr. Crane.
Martin Crane : Oh, Great!
Daphne Moon : Why don't you open it now?
Martin Crane : Oh, I'd love to, but to tell you the truth, I don't really have much time, I'm kind of on my way out.
[Daphne starts to cry]
Martin Crane : Oh, OK, all right! I'll open it now, sure, sure. I don't want to get you upset! You must be really excited about this!
Martin Crane : [pulls gaudy sweater out of gift bag] Oh, wow! It's that sweater! The one I pointed out to you in that window! It's great! Boy, I can die a happy man now!
[Daphne bursts into tears]
Martin Crane : Daphne, what's the matter, are you all right?
Daphne Moon : Oh, Mr. Crane, I know why you've been going down to that church!
Martin Crane : You do? Well, you're not supposed to know about that! But why is it making you so upset?
Daphne Moon : Because I care about you! You were actually going to let this whole thing happen without ever telling a soul!
Martin Crane : Well, yes! I don't want people staring at me in church, stiff as a board, all that makeup on my face.
Daphne Moon : [He goes to get his coat. Daphne sinks onto the couch, crying] So... how much time have you got?
Martin Crane : Uh, about twenty minutes.
Daphne Moon : Twenty minutes?
Martin Crane : Yeah, and boy, will I be glad when it's all over. This is the last Christmas pageant I'm ever signing up for!
Daphne Moon : You're in a Christmas pageant?
Martin Crane : Well, yeah! What did you think I was talking about?
Daphne Moon : I thought you were dying!
Martin Crane : What?
Daphne Moon : Well, you'd just got your test results back, you're down at the church all the time.
[Martin starts to laugh]
Daphne Moon : Why are you laughing?
Martin Crane : Well, it's funny!
Daphne Moon : I don't think it's so bloody funny!
Martin Crane : Are you kidding?
[acts as if hanged]
Martin Crane : Oh, I'm dying!
Daphne Moon : You will be!
[hurls a pillow at him]
