Quotes 

• Eddie : Right. Now, Bubble, did all the models turn up?

  Bubble : Yeah, every single one.

  Eddie : Good, good, thank God.

  Bubble : Except one.

  Eddie : Except one? You're not going to tell me it's Yasmin Le Bon, darling?

  Bubble : No.

  Eddie : Thank God!

  Bubble : Oh, no, sorry, yes. Yasmin Le Bon is ill.

  Eddie : Oh, my buggery bollocks. Why the bloody hell didn't you tell me earlier?

  Bubble : Well, her husband's just phoned, and said "Simon Le Bon", which I thought was really amusing.

  Eddie : Amusing, darling?

  Bubble : Yeah. Very modern of him to have taken his wife's name.

  Eddie : Oh, Bubble, sweety...

  Bubble : I phoned around, and I think I may have found a replacement.

  Eddie : Good. Who? Who?

  Bubble : Betty Boo.

  Eddie : Shit!

• Eddie : Now, come on, come on, come on. How's the celebrity and V.I.P. list looking?

  Bubble : Good, I think. But you know me, I don't know anybody.

  Eddie : Now, come on, darling. Come on, darling! Just tell me about Joan Collins, Stephanie Powers, Paloma Picasso, Charlotte Rampling, Catherine Deneuve. Give me some names, darling.

  Bubble : So far?

  Eddie : So far.

  Bubble : So far Sinnita and Anne Robinson definite. We're still chasing Anneke Rice. Gave up on Norma Major.

  Eddie : Now, just get me my phone book now, would you, darling? Get me my phone book. I mean Princess Di has...

  Bubble : Anne.

  Eddie : ...to have somebody to sit next to. You don't get Princess Di to a major...

  Bubble : Anne.

  Eddie : ...fashion event.

  Bubble : Anne. Princess Anne.

  Eddie : As well as, is it, darling?

  Bubble : Instead of. Only. Oh, possibly with daughter.

  Eddie : Why, why?

  Bubble : Well, there was a bit of a mix-up. I didn't make the call, but she's very game and a really nice person.

  Eddie : Oh, I wouldn't care if she was Mother bloody Teresa, darling! It doesn't matter for our purposes! What we need is a Princess with a press following and a designer dress on her back!

  Patsy : Not someone who looks like she runs up her own.

  Bubble : Well, her people were a bit cagey about which designer she favoured.

  Patsy : The only label she wears is "Drip Dry".

• Bubble : Oh, the magazine called for you, Patsy. They need some decisions about this month's cover.

  Patsy : Oh, really? Whatever can they need to know? I mean, it's the same every month: a model in make-up with a vacant look on her face...
