“My halo slipped last night “

“I cannot say  that I blame you – my father’s self pity is enough to make anyone lose their cool – not least at that time of night”

“I feel bad that I want you to myself “

“I feel bad that after you have gone to all that trouble to give me that amazing party that I cannot spend the rest of our time off making love and wandering around the house naked. I love being naked “

“I love you being naked as well “ Bette said kissing Tina’s hand “I don’t know babe. I was talking to my mom and saying that I felt bad and she said that I could afford to be magnanimous because I get to spend the rest of my life with you. I guess I am impatient”

“No – no you are not – you have been planning these last few days for months – god only knows how much the party and the car cost”

“I can afford it “

“I know that -and I just want to start showing you that I appreciate everything you have done for me. I am not ungrateful and I long to show you. But not just in these few days off but from now on. Having everything happen to my family has been really hard for me but I know that there is no way I could have coped if you hadn’t been there. For the first time in my life I have this strong person beside me who wants to share my happiness and my angry and everything. I love that you hate Eric and all the one line put downs that you come up with when you run into him at work. I love that and I know that this is the person that you are. Bette – lets get on with living our life – no-one elses “

“What about ma and pa Kettle ?”

“Finn is ringing my grandparents  – see if they can help him when he gets back to Carolina. I don’t want to fight this battle with Gemma for him and I don’t intend to”

“What about buying the farm ?”

“Well that depends  – we need to put that on hold for our sakes- depends on how serious mom is about Jonathan “
