• Jonathan : It takes years to write a great novel.

  Joa : And it takes you just as long to write a shit one!

• Emelia : So, tell me about the cliff house. I want to know everything.

  Jonathan : Mm. There's not much to tell. I came over here to go to Cambridge. Saw a beautiful young actress in a touring play, and whisked her away to the cliff house. Just for the weekend. Really just ignorance at 22. Struck gold. And now it hangs around my neck, drawn to me with its excess.

  Emelia : Yeah... I meant the house. Like the actual building. Is it Victorian?

  Joa : [laughing uncontrollably]

  Joa : Are you alright? I'm taking Posy to an audition, so you're manning the front desk this morning.

  Beth : I'm not, I'm revising.

  Joa : It's writing. You can revise on the desk. You have to give people keys, Beth.
