• Charles: Sophie, this is Miss Eliot, from the National Childcare Agency. Miss Eliot, this is Sophie, from the ocean.

• When Charles makes his disdain for Miss Eliot clearer than Miss Eliot's eyesight:

  Charles: Your powers of observation are commendable. You are a credit to your optician.

• When Sophie thinks she's going to die because she never looked properly at a pig:
  Matteo: I hold the back of your nightdress, so you can't fall- and you take a step.
  Sophie: How big?
  Matteo: About the length of a pig.
  The length of a pig, thought Sophie. She was going to die because she had never looked properly at a pig.
