So Haunt Me

1992

Tammy Rokeby: ... and guess who I found in my bedroom? Sweeny Todd snogging squad. Sally Rokeby: What? Tammy Rokeby: (lifts up video case of 'dirty film') Oh, you're such a bloody hypocrite! You're at it, the Bill's at it, the whole of flaming Wilson's at it and I can't even have a nice Jewish Doctor up to my bedroom to study.

Peter Rokeby: (posing in front of the mirror) Before writing the Great Mancunian Novel, Peter Rokeby was an advertising copywriter, he is married with children and lives in a house... somewhere off the North circular. (alters pose) Before writing the Great Mancunian Novel Peter Rokeby was a lumberjack, an Olympic raftsman and a Freedom fighter in Angola... (realises Sally has walked in) I'm just practicing the book jacket. Sally Rokeby: Perhaps you should try writing the book.

Peter Rokeby: Guess who's coming Saturday? Grandma Vi. David Rokeby: Bloody hell, that's all I need! Yetta Feldman: David! You love Grandma Vi! David Rokeby: Can she wrestle? Give me strength. Tammy Rokeby: Oh, isn't it nice when someone else round here goes through a stage!

Peter Rokeby: Well, there's Sally my wife, Tammy, David, Daisy and Mrs Feldman. Elsbeth: Mrs Feldman? Peter Rokeby: She's our pet. Elsbeth: Ah. Peter Rokeby: Parrot. Call me kind-hearted but we've adopted a Jewish parrot - born talking-trick is to get it to stop.

Dolly Finkel: She ate all the chopped liver at my brother's wedding! Yetta Feldman: It was wartime! Dolly Finkel: You could have waited until they finished the ceremony!

Yetta Feldman: Vi. I'm sorry. I've been a pathetic, bitter, spiteful old woman. Vi Rokeby: Well.. Sally Rokeby: You! Mum, don't listen to here! You're a pathetic bitter old woman!
