And C: because Josh said you'd never be able to do it.' - Nat and Sarah * 'Less sugar lumps, thanks, Josh.' 'Fewer.' 'Eh?' 'Fewer sugar lumps. Less sugar is correct, but it should be fewer sugar lumps... Education - wasted on today's youth.' 'Thank you, Mother Pedant. Fewer sugar lumps, Joshua, if you please!' - Nat, and Sarah, who, like all the coolest people, is a stickler for correct English * 'Oh, damn! Kiss me!' 'You what?' 'Kiss me!' - Sarah and Josh, pretending to be up to a different kind of no good than the no good they're actually up to... * 'How am I going to tell Ellie he's dead?' 'You'll get used to it ' I did.' 'You know, you're weird.' 'Well, there's a compliment.' 'No... I mean... you obviously care, and yet you seem somehow... detached.' 'Mmm... I probably picked it up from somebody I once knew... And if you'd seen some of the things I've seen...' - Josh and Sarah * 'Right, come down, get back in! Come on, chop chop!' 'All right, all right ' what do you think I am, a flipping monkey? Are you an older sister?' 'Only child, why?' 'Bloody boss-cat!' - Sarah and Josh * 'And they just let you walk, no charge? I mean, how guilty can you get? Assault, battery, GBH too, I shouldn't wonder!' 'Yeah, but just as they were about to haul us in, bingo, we were told we were free! Probably due to a nice lady I know in intelligence...' - Nat and Sarah The Panel Said... Sarah Watch: Sarah_JaneSmith: I'm a bit annoyed that Elisabeth Sladen cant do a better yorkshire accent, being the northern lass that she is! She's good in this one, proper little investigator! 5/10 Llin: She sneaks around, kisses Josh and kicks ass! 8/10 paranoidangel: She's the one with the plan. And the backup plan for when it all goes wrong. 8/10 Story Watch: Sarah_JaneSmith: Very creepy, but i'm sure i've seen this plot on tv before. 5/10 Llin: I love this one! It's fun, and Josh and Nat are great! 8/10 paranoidangel: I'm not at all convinced by any of the actual plot. And I was quite happy for the old man to die, he annoyed me something chronic. 4/10 |
