Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Rod : Damn good things airbags. Remember the accident I was in last month? The airbag just went shoo whuff, you know. Not a mark on me.

  Jo : So if we were to have a crash now, they'd just whuff up and save us.

  Rod : Yeah. Well, me. Only got the driver's airbag; the other one was extra, so I didn't bother.

  Jo : Oh, great! What's the point of having one airbag?

  Rod : Well, better than nothing.

  Jo : Not from where I'm sitting, it isn't.

  Rod : Most of the time I'm on my own.

  Jo : Well, I'm not surprised. "Fancy a lift?" "No fear." What does your wife think about you only having the one?

  Rod : Sheila's fine about it.

  Jo : Sheila doesn't know about it.

  Rod : That's right.

• Jo : I spoke to Cheryl, put her straight.

  Rod : Huh. That's no good. I mean, who's she told? How many people here know?

  Jo : Well, there's... there's Lorraine in reception, and Maggie the cleaner. They're both off today, so... apart from them everyone knows.
