[discussing possible newspaper headlines after Claire has run out of church on her wedding day]
Elaine Spader: So why d'you run away? Why waste all those vol-au-vents?
Claire Holmes: Cos it's not like I have to wear the dress to complete the set. I don't want to read about myself in the local paper: "Brave Cancer Bride Weds".
Elaine Spader: Or "Cancer Bride Flees Wedding".
Claire Holmes: Shit! It *is*, isn't it? "Wedding Proves 'Tomb' Much For Brave Claire"!
Elaine Spader: "Send Back The Cake - The Wedding's 'Cancered'"!

[Talking about Claire, who is dying at Andy and Elaine's house]
Paul: I would have looked after her.
Andy Spader: Committed for life - all ten weeks of it? You know what? You haven't answered my question: are you going to the funeral. Because no matter what happens, I'm gonna be there. No matter how horrible it is.
[Paul sneers and walks away]

Elaine Spader: You know, in my head, some nights you were like this demon standing over me with these red eyes.
Claire Holmes: And wings? Like the Meatloaf album.
Elaine Spader: You have wings if you want. So what are you gonna do?
Claire Holmes: Die, I suppose. Not so scary now, am I?
Elaine Spader: You're still scaring me.

Claire Holmes: I don't think happiness finds you. It passes near to you, and it's up to you to jump on it.
