Quotes 

• Meredith : I'll tell you what this pregnancy's taught me: It's taught me how it feels to look like the back end of a bus and sit around every night with nothing to do!

• Meredith : It's hideous! I want it adopted immediately!

• Jos Jones : [visiting Meredith in the maternity ward, shortly after she's given birth]  How are you feeling?

  Meredith : Lousy.

  Meredith : [glancing at the newborn baby]  Well? Aren't you going to look at it? This is your marvelous child you couldn't bear being destroyed, remember?

  Meredith : [while Jos gets up and looks at the baby]  It's hideous. I hate it... It gave me hell.

  Jos Jones : [looking at the baby, rather indifferently]  All new babies look like that. You'll like it when it's a bit older.

  Meredith : Oh no. I want it adopted. Now.

  Jos Jones : [He sits back down]  I've got a rotten headache. Have you got any aspirin or dope or anything?

  Meredith : [scoffs]  Huh! Not that I couldn't use it myself... How do you feel about adoption, anyway? If I ask the nurses here, they'll plague me with sermons.

  Jos Jones : You're a bitch.

  Meredith : You're a bastard.

• Georgy : [Walking onto the maternity ward]  Meredith, you're looking marvelous!

  Meredith : Where have *you* been?

  Georgy : I've just seen her!

  Meredith : Who?

  Georgy : Sara!

  Meredith : Oh, *that*.

• Jos Jones : Why the hell did I marry you?

  Georgy : Oh, Jos, please go away.

  Meredith : Why did you marry me?

  [as she laughs, he spontaneously kisses Georgy] 

  Meredith : Thunderous chords on the piano. Scream of train going into tunnel. Don't pass out, dear.

• Georgy : I'm going to be the bridesmaid. And don't you throw that bouquet at me. You give it to me carefully, 'cause I won't have my glasses on and I might drop it.

  Meredith : No bridesmaids, darling. No confetti, organs, vicars, Mendelssohn, or Moss Bros. Up the registry, quick in and out, ta very much. Next, please.

  Georgy : Oh, Meredith, you must do something.

  Meredith : I'll tell you what, Georgy.

  Georgy : What?

  Meredith : You can be best man.

• Meredith : We going out?

  Georgy : Why? Aren't you going with Jos or anyone?

  Meredith : No.

  Georgy : Let's go and eat, then.

  Meredith : But at the first flicker of dust and all that nonsense, I'm leaving you.

• Meredith : Am I all right?

  Georgy : Sensational.

  Meredith : Am I all right?

  Georgy : Sensational! Where are you going?

  Meredith : Out.

  Georgy : But, Jos... isn't Jos coming?

  Meredith : Of course.

  Georgy : You can't go out!

  Meredith : Can't I? Bye.

• Meredith : [to Jos]  Don't be so stupid, I've destroyed two of yours already.
