    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Rita Connors: Those chemicals are still giving me goosebumps. I reckon they should throw in some anti-freeze to stop me shivering.

      Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson: It's been a few days now. You should start feeling better soon.

      Rita Connors: It doesn't make any sense. The cure is worse than the bloody disease.

      Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson: Do you... uh... want something to eat?

      Rita Connors: Not unless you want to clean it up after me.

      Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson: I'm... surprised you wanted me around.

      Rita Connors: I thought you would've enjoyed watching me on my back in hospital.

      Joan 'The Freak' Ferguson: I don't enjoy watching people die, Connors.
