Quotes 

• Colleen : [to Emily]  Perhaps that's the reason people like your singing - because it's the only time you're not talking, love.

• [Emily is reading a nauseating farewell speech at Captain Jack's retirement dinner] 

  Colleen : I wish I had a hearing aid, then I could switch it off.

• [talking about Captain Jack] 

  Colleen : He's a slimy so-and-so.

  Emily : God, he is. I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees it. He's been leering over the older passengers for years. Some nights, it's like a pornographic version of Jurassic Park.

  Colleen : He's got a long way to go before he gets his hands on my velociraptor.

• Colleen : What a night, eh, Emily dear? First you lose a grand and now someone's smacking your bitch up.

• Terry : I wouldn't steal from you! I don't need your money.

  [puts his hand on Gemma's shoulder] 

  Terry : I've got something money can't buy.

  Colleen : What's that? Gout?

• Emily : It's a special dinner for old friends.

  Jack : Actually, Emily these are my friends.

  Emily : Yeah well, they're certainly old.

  Justin : [laughing]  Savage as usual, Emsy.

  Colleen : Who the bloody held do you think you are?

  Emily : Who am I, babes?

  [pretends to think] 

  Emily : Umm. I'm the most in demand lounge entertainment on the North Sea. I'm known in every port across Northern Europe.

  Colleen : Oh, popular round the docks, are you? We used to have a name for girls like that.

  Hilda : "Dirty girls!" That's what mother said.

• Jack : Well, hello, girls.

  Colleen : That's right, girls, don't lose your dignity. He could be riddled, this one. You know, sailors usually are.

  Hilda : If we get shipwrecked, I'm more than happy to make a fishing net out of my pantyhose.

  Mildred : I don't wear any.

  Jack : Then I'll get us out onto the ocean like my very life depended on it.

  Colleen : Oh sorry, sorry, couldn't quite hear you for the sound of my skin crawling.

• Security Guard : Welcome to the Empress of the Tynes, ladies. Are you taking any drugs on board?

  Mildred : Only the ones that keep me alive. Plus a couple of things for when I get bored.

  Colleen : Forget Cocaine Sally here. Come on, let's get to the bar; let's get the champagne open!
