Melody

If you're gallivanting off somewhere you can't be at school. If you can't be at school we can't teach you. And if we can't teach you, you'll end up a bunch of raving imbeciles like the generation above you.

Daniel: [about Melody] I've got to dance with her. Ornshaw: You're mad! What do you want to do that for? She'll only say "Buzz off!" or something. She's a bit stuck up that one. This whole girl-nonsense is rubbish. Girls are a load of snotty-nosed little so-and-so's.

Ornshaw: Some people are winners and some people are losers. Daniel: Who says who's gonna be what? Ornshaw: Don't ask me, that's all done before we get on this earth. I mean, it's him up there. He says, "You, you're gonna be red-hot at the triple jump, and you, you're gonna be bloody useless!"

Mr. Dicks: Now, why are you here, Ornshaw? Ornshaw: Because you invited me, sir. Mr. Dicks: And why did I invite you, Ornshaw? Ornshaw: Well, because I couldn't translate the Latin, sir. Mr. Dicks: Why, Ornshaw? Why? Ornshaw: Because it's a bloody silly out-of-date language do you mean, sir? Mr. Dicks: Two was it, Ornshaw... I think we'll make it four... [trying to hold his temper] ...And why do you think it's a... silly out-of-date language, Ornshaw? Ornshaw: Well, because I couldn't speak to a dead Roman even if I knew the bloody lingo, sir!

Melody: [reading from a tombstone] "Fifty years' happiness." How long's fifty years? Daniel: A hundred and fifty school terms, not including holidays. Melody: Will you love me that long? Daniel: [nods] Mmm-hmmm. Melody: I don't think you will. Daniel: Of course. I've loved you a whole week already, haven't I?
