Melissa Miles: Good game. Danny Embling: Yeah. Three badly injured so far. Melissa Miles: You don't sound very patriotic. Danny Embling: No, I'm not. I'm here for anthropological reasons. Melissa Miles: Huh? Danny Embling: Football. It's a form of mating ritual. That's why you're here, isn't it?
Nicola Radcliffe: So what did you actually do together? Thandiwe Adjewa: I beg your pardon? Nicola Radcliffe: No, it's all right. You don't have to tell me. I think... if I liked somebody enough... I'd want to... Thandiwe Adjewa: Have you ever? Nicola Radcliffe: Of course not. Thandiwe Adjewa: Almost? Nicola Radcliffe: Well... Do you remember the young guy who was fixing the bell tower? I used to take him a cup of tea each morning before assembly. I rather liked him even though he never said anything much. I used to... close my eyes... and sit on a chair... and let him touch me all over... as long as he promised not to take anything off. I thought it was so exquisitely daring I'd almost faint. I'd have to sit down because I was trembling so much, my legs would've given way. Afterwards I'd be reading the lesson, convinced all the teachers must know because... because I was so shivery delicious all over. Thandiwe Adjewa: I'm amazed. Nicola Radcliffe: So am I when I think of it. Which I do most of the time, especially in maths. So, here's to risks.
