3. Exile! Now that’s an excellent idea! Why didn’t I think of that before?

4. You really need to do something about all that nose hair!

5. No, really - I do have a headache!

6. If you’re thinking I’m bending over with you around, you’ve got another thought coming!

7. God’s teeth! Put some clothes on will you!

8. I think it’s time we took a break from each other. How does Ireland sound?

9. Did I mention I have a headache?

10. No, that’s fine - if you want to go and play with Lancaster, be my guest.
