• Kylie Bucknell : You honestly think this house is haunted?

  Miriam Bucknell : I do not want to get into this with you, Kylie. Obviously, you are just going to make fun of me.

  Kylie Bucknell : There is nothing funny about having a mother with dementia. You realise they put me on house arrrest to get some stability.

  Miriam Bucknell : Well, obviously, you have got a very selective memory.

  Kylie Bucknell : What is that supposed to mean?

  Miriam Bucknell : I am not the only one who thought there was a ghost in this house, Kylie. I fact, you used to be so terrified you could not sleep.

  Kylie Bucknell : Yeah, I also used to think the Moon was made of cheese. It is called childhood.

  Miriam Bucknell : Gosh, that's high-tech, isn't it? Aren't you lucky, Kylie? Having all that fancy technology on your foot. Quite spoilt.

  Kylie Bucknell : No, I do not.

  Dennis : Do you sometimes hear voices?

  Kylie Bucknell : This is ridiculous.

  Dennis : What about your menstruating pattern?

  Kylie Bucknell : I beg your pardon?

  Dennis : A hallmark of the disorder in women is that each personality has its own menstrual cycle. This would mean that your periods are more frequent than usual.

  Miriam Bucknell : Well, that explains a lot.
