About Adam Quotes

 
[Adam, Lucy and Lucy’s mother are all driving in Adam jaguar after taking a hike in a park]
Peggy Owens:
I could get used to this car. Did you tell her the story, by the way?
Adam:
No, I didn't.
Lucy Owens:
What?
Peggy Owens:
All the interesting things you find out when you're out on a mountain stroll.
Lucy Owens:
Tell me what?
Peggy Owens:
Can we tell her? A very simple lovely story. Even though he was very young when his mummy and daddy died, Adam always remembered, as a little fella, that when they went for walks they used to pass by this big fancy car sales place and his dad had a big thing about this particular car, a Jaguar.
Adam:
"Just look at that Jag," he'd say. I thought it must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Peggy Owens:
His dad was always promising his mum that when they had a bit of money to splash out, that he'd buy her one. Do you know what this little beauty did? Years after, when he turned eighteen and got the bit of money that was left to him he used it all to buy this car to remember them by.
Lucy Owens:
Adam, why didn't you tell me? Hmm?
Adam:
I don't know.
Lucy Owens:
Oh, my.
 

 Laura Owens:
I admit it, I was amazed. He's nothing like anyone you've ever gone out with before, so what's the change?
Lucy Owens:
I'm maturing.
Laura Owens:
Even his name, it's so not you. It's so primal - Adam.
Lucy Owens:
Yeah, yeah, it's a crap name, all right.
Laura Owens:
And he reads. He can quote Christina Rossetti.
Lucy Owens:
Oh. What'd he do that for?
Laura Owens:
It came up and you know, she's not exactly a household name as a poet so I have to say, I approve totally. I just hope you're ready for you know, whatever happens.
Lucy Owens:
Oh yeah, I'm full of surprises. So, are you jealous?
Laura Owens:
Come on, that's unfair.
Lucy Owens:
[voice over of Lucy thinking to herself] Poor Laura. Of course she's not jealous. Too good-natured. Wouldn't it be deadly, though if it turns out to be me that has this great passion she's always going on about?
Laura Owens:
Hold on a sec, I just want to buy this
Lucy Owens:
[voice over continues] Another book. Doesn't she know books won't do it?
