While walking past the Jewish cemetery:
Lauren: I would never walk here after dark.
Alex: Ah, yes, the squirrels…
Lauren: In the dark you can’t see them; you can just hear them. After having one flying over my head I’ve been a bit nervous. I really don’t like those little buggers. I like bunnies even less.
Alex: Had any bad experiences?
Lauren: No, it’s just the way they look at you sometimes: they’re evil. Not as evil as squirrels though, I think that they could take over the world if they decided to. If they stopped only being concerned of nuts and decided to plot.
Angell: They are, I’m not sure if I’m pronouncing this right; Clotho and Lachesis, who knitted a man’s life thread and then cut it, causing him to die. Have you heard this before? Does it ring any bells?
[Silence]
Emma: Ah, yes, they were in Hercules!
”I feel like a grown up now, avoiding walking on snowy areas so I don’t slip.” – Emma

A few family quotes from my trips home (I’m Alex):
Mum: What kind of cats are they?
Cousin’s fiancee: Ordinary.
“Oh, my heart is itching… That wasn’t a metaphor.” – Alex
While watching a program about the UK election:
Mum: That little one [David Cameron] looks like a comedian.
Alex: He is, in a way. Everytime he presents a bill or something, people exclaim: “are you kidding?!”
Lastly a bonus quote from Ugly Betty that made me snigger:
Amada: [Looking over Betty’s shoulder at her desktop wallpaper] Are those pictures of your family?
Betty: [Ingdidantly] Amanda, they’re birds!
