Quotes[]

Lady Baden-Baden: I envy you Melissa.
Melissa: Me?
Lady Baden-Baden: You have a career. You have purpose. A direction in life. Me? I just flutter about on society business.

Cyril: I might as well play golf on the Sahara Desert, the amount of time I spend in sand traps!
Pig One: Sand Wedge again sir?
Cyril: I'll turn you into a sandwich if you don't watch your lip Pig!

Pig One: I just had a brilliant idea. I know how we can make some easy money.
Pig Three: Oh Lloyd... that's my favourite kind!

Mr Knox: Er, what's with the disguises boys? Does Mr Sneer disapprove of your catering business?
Pig One: Oh no, the boss backs us all the way!
Pig Two: Yeah usually he's on our backs.
Pig Three: Er, besides, we're not in disguise!
Pig Two: No, no, it's er, it's er, protection from the sun!
Pig One: The ozone layer, it's breaking down you know. And we're very sensitive to ultraviolet rays!
Mr Knox: I see...

Lady Baden-Baden: Knoxie and I had a terrible fight, in public no less! He demanded I resign from my job!
Bert: But why would he want you to resign?
Lady Baden-Baden: That's exactly what I asked him! He said women have no place in the working world?
Melissa: How could he say such a thing in this day and age?
Lady Baden-Baden: It's his upbringing Melissa. Old world, old values, old money. I told him to accept me as I am, or leave. He left, and tomorrow is... our anniversary! Oh Melissa, I'm so unhappy! (she sobs)

Pig Two: Oh it's a disaster! Our first catering contract just went up in smoke!
Pig Three: No, he just went up the stairs!

Bert: Don't cry, Lady Baden-Baden.
Lady Baden-Baden: Oh, I'm not, it's the onions. Oh, but I do miss Knoxie so.
Melissa: I'm sure you and Mr Knox can work things out.
Lady Baden-Baden: You manage a career and a marriage Melissa. How do you do it?
Melissa: Well, a little understanding, a little support and a little compromise... from both of us!
Lady Baden-Baden: Compromise... not one of Knoxie's strong points.

Cyril: (Whilst playing golf) You're crazy to break up with Lady Baden-Baden. Just because she took a job Knox! Drat.
Mr Knox: But sir, where I come from a gentlemen would never let his wife take a job. It's tradition.
Cyril: Lucky shot Knox! The heck with tradition! You can't kiss off a perfectly good marriage because of your pigheaded prime! You're living in the modern world Knox. The woman has a right to work if she wants. Rats! Besides, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. You're getting a second income out of it!

Lady Baden-Baden: (As the train she is riding on disappears down a tunnel) Knoxiiieeee! I looooovvvveee yooooou!

(Cyril shows up on a golf cart after catching up with his limo)

Pig One: Yes boss. The happy ending.
