Un dimanche comme les autres

[last lines]
Daniel: When you're at school and you want to quit, people say 'You're going to hate it out in the world.' Well, I didn't believe them and I was right. When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to be grown up, and they said 'Childhood is the best time of your life.' Well, it wasn't. And now, I want his company and they say, 'What's half a loaf? You're well shot of him'; and I say 'I know that... but I miss him, that's all' and they say 'He never made you happy' and I say 'But I am happy, apart from missing him. You might throw me a pill or two for my cough.'
[pauses, smiles]
Daniel: All my life, I've been looking for somebody courageous, resourceful.
[pause, thinks]
Daniel: He's not it... but something. We were something.
[pause]
Daniel: I only came about my cough.

Bob: Don't come to me like a possessive wife!
Alex: Well, I wouldn't if you hadn't left me with five children and a dog!
Bob: Look, I know you feel you're not getting enough of me, but you're getting all there is.
Alex: Well, you're spreading yourself a little thin, aren't you?

Aunt Astrid: Daniel, darling. You're looking very spruce.
[intercepts a canapé]
Aunt Astrid: Have one of these. Now, tell me when are *you* going to give us all a nice surprise?
Daniel: [baffled] Auntie...
Aunt Astrid: Still holding out on us... well, it's terribly selfish of you. You *are* going to be very, very lonely...
Daniel: I just haven't found the right person yet.

Alex: I can't see why my having an affair with someone on and off is any worse that being *married* for a course or two at mealtimes.
Mrs. Greville: But darling... you keep throwing in your hand because you haven't got the whole thing. There *is* no whole thing, my poppet. You have to make it work.

Alex: I've had this business: "Anything is better than nothing." There are times when nothing *has* to be better than anything.

Mrs. Greville: A hippie? Oh, I like hippies! They hate business and competitiveness... I think that's what has always attracted me to them.

Bob: I do wish they'd have American fuses in this country.
Alex: Why is it that whenever you're stuck, everything is always better in America. How do you know?

Alex: I won't be here when you get back. I can't come over. Don't ring. We've got to pack this in and I don't know what else to say.
Bob: Alex...
Alex: Me being careful not to ask you about Daniel. Daniel not getting answers from you because you're here! My old Mum not making demands for umpteen years and my fucking office! I don't want us to live like this.

Alex: I'm not angry with you. I bought it because I love you. I bought your terms and they were - rotten terms and I shouldn't have done it. My fault.
Bob: You keep asking too much.
Alex: For God's sake! Caring a lot about someone, is that too much! People that have some tie for each other, is that too much?

Mr. Harding: Its my age, isn't it. When your over fifty, in a properly run business, you're over the hump!
Alex: You shouldn't say that.
Mr. Harding: They give you the golden handshake or a sherry party and you can't find another job and that's that.

Mr. Harding: It is firms like you that are turning me out to grass. Me and all the other fifty year olds.
Alex: You told me fifty-five.
Mr. Harding: Fifty.
Alex: Hang on to that, then.

Alex: I wouldn't want to ring him there - it's a doctor you know.
Answering Service Lady: Yes I know that, it's Dr Hirsch. Dr Hirsch also uses this service.
