"Waiting for God" The Hip Operation (TV Episode 1991) - Stephanie Cole as Diana Trent

[first lines]

Harvey Bains : Come along, folk; panto time.

Female Resident : Panto time? It's July.

Harvey Bains : Be December by the time you get there.

Diana : And the runners are all lined up. They are under starter's orders for this year's Derby.

Tom : Diana, you really are unspeakable!

Diana : Well, that's my job: Diana Trent, unspeakable swine, by appointment.

Tom : You shouldn't mock the afflicted.

Diana : Yes, of course you should. They can't fight back. You're onto a winning ticket mocking the afflicted.

[yells]

Diana : Come on, Millie, cut him off at the corner.

Tom : You can't tempt fate like that, you know. It'll get *you* in the end.

Diana : Oh, not a chance. The day I lay hand to walking frame will be the day I pull the plug on myself.
[last lines]

Diana Trent : Oh, get on with it!
Diana : Love isn't a quantifiable or definable product. It's a... well, it's like a sort of elephant, sitting in the corner of your sitting-room. You can't ignore it, but if you don't do something about it, you're going to find yourself knee-deep in elephant poo.
Diana : Tom, will you tell this Celtic dimwit that I do not want a new hip. Hip replacements are for the old and the infirm.

Tom : She says she thanks you very much and would love a new hip and... will you vent her spleen while you're at it?

David Davis : My pleasure.
