Daniel: 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: Well, because I couldn't speak to a dead Roman even if I knew the bloody lingo, sir!
