Memorable dialogue[]
Nick Bates: (about Frank Tate) "He knows everything Kath, absolutely everything. Well, certainly a lot more than me. He was talking about pricking out yesterday, I thought he was being rude at first."
---
Kim Tate: "You'll learn a lot more when you're qualified than Kathy Merrick ever will."
Zoe Tate: "Oh I know, it's not fair, is it?"
Kim Tate: "Of course it's fair, you've got a better brain than she has."
Zoe Tate: "Yes? And what good's it gonna do me? Five years at university, letters after my name... I'm gonna end up in some cosy little practice treating peoples pet poodles for obesity."

Amos Brearly: "Seth, you're off!"
Seth Armstrong: "I am that, Amos. I 'an't felt this poorly since me wedding neet."
