The Book: Miscellaneous Dialogue

'Can I borrow your partner for a few minutes. It is not that I am madly in love with her. It is just that being a single boy I get bothered by girls, especially clingers, and if I could collapse into her arms at the first sign of trouble, and whisper dirty stories in her lug to keep her amused, or horrified, with the appropriate exclamation: Oh you are so awful! This would be a great help.'

'That was some mouthful. You could say all that without pausing for a breath. You ought to be a singer with an Irish folk band.'

'Balls ache. Her idea of affection is a kick in the goolies.'
