Sandy:
[reading the paper] Mmm, that's nice. Look; two-bedroom flat in Upper Bayswater.

Judith:
No such place as Upper Bayswater. Means Paddington. And you missed the bit about 'some decorative restoration required'.

Sandy:
I'm sure we're quite capable of slapping on a coat of emulsion.

Judith:
Some decorative restoration probably means there's no floor.

Sandy:
Sure you're not going off the idea of us getting a flat together?

Judith:
Why do you say that?

Sandy:
Well, all the places you seem to like are places we can't afford.

Judith:
No, I'm not going off the idea. Just as, well, as Mum says, there's no rush.

Sandy:
At this rate we'll still be living here when we're little old ladies.

Judith:

Sandy:
It's not panic! It's just... well, it's all getting a little bit too cozy.

Judith:
You're in one of your hair shirt moods, aren't you?
