You should have said hello.[Dexter Mayhew]When?[Emma]When you saw me around.[Dexter Mayhew]
You know what they say. You always hurt the one you love.
Where did you see me before tonight?[Emma]The library.[Dexter Mayhew]You’ve never seen me before in your life.[Emma]
There’s actually real vanity to it, teaching. I’m hoping it’s gonna play out like Dead Poets Society. Just all adulation and no marking.
You’ve had a shitty, shitty time. But at some point, you are gonna think of this as a new start.[to Dex]
You’re getting married, and you’re having a baby. Dex, you’re having a baby.[Emma Morley]I know.[Dexter Mayhew]I mean, is that allowed? Will they even let you?[Emma Morley]Apparently.[Dexter Mayhew]
You know, if you’re 22 and f***ing up, you can say, “It’s okay. I’m only 22. I’m only 25. I’m only 28.” But 32…
You know what I can’t understand? You have all these people telling you all the time how great you are. You know, smart and funny and talented and all that. I mean, endlessly. I’ve been telling you for years. So why don’t you believe it? Why do you think people say that stuff? Do you think it’s all a conspiracy? People secretly ganging up to be nice about you?
Watch now on:
These papers, f*** them. And f*** whoever wrote them. I mean, I know how annoying you can be, but they… They have no idea. None. You’re funny. And charming. And lovely. And you’re gonna be exceptional. So again, f*** them.[to Dex]
Sorry. Not the plan. Not the plan.[Dexter Mayhew]Stop saying sorry, Dex. You don’t need a plan. Right? It’s only me.[Emma Morley]
One day, I’m gonna give you a compliment, and you won’t immediately reply with the price.[to Emma]
It’s the dress rehearsal, and the lead is just so irredeemably s***. It’s no wonder they put him in an orphanage.[about her play (Oliver!)]
