[Tony has pulled Jess from the wedding]

Jess:
What are you doing?!

Tony:
We can make the second half if we go now.

Jess:
My mum and dad will go spare! I wouldn't ruin it for them.

Tony:
They won't even notice.

Jess:
I can't! Look how happy they are. I wouldn't want to ruin it for them.

Mr. Bhamra:
What are you going to ruin?

Jess:
Nothing Dad.

Tony:
It's the final of the football tournament. I can drive there. Pick up her kit along the way. It won't take long.

Jess:
Stop it, Tony. It doesn't matter. I don't want to spoil the day for you and Mum.

Mr. Bhamra:
Pinky is so happy and you look as if you're at my funeral.

Jess:
I'm sorry, Dad.

Mr. Bhamra:
If this means I'll see you smiling on your sister's wedding day, then go now, but when you come back, I want to see you happy on the video. Play well and make us proud.

Jess:
Joe! What's happening?

Joe:
Start warming up, Bhamra. We're one-nil down, half an hour to go.

Come on, Paula.

Mrs. Paxton:
I'm not blaming you but it is the football. It is!

Mr. Paxton:
Come on, darling. Come on. [Jules goes bounding to the front door]

Jules:
I'm off, then!

Mrs. Paxton:
Sweetheart, where are you going in your best trousers?

Jules:
Out.

Mrs. Paxton:
Where? Who with?

Jules:
I'm meeting Jess at her sister's wedding to celebrate.

Mrs. Paxton:
Wait! I'll take you.

Jules:
Oh, thanks, Mum! God, it's so colourful. Everyone looks brilliant! Look at the car!

[Mrs. Paxton has walked up to Jess at Pinky's wedding reception]

Mrs. Paxton:
How could you be such a hypocrite? How could you be all respectful here with your lot when you've been kissing my daughter in broad daylight?! Hmm? [Mrs. Paxton looks down at Jess' shoes] Get your lesbian feet out of my shoes! [Mrs. Paxton steals Jess' shoes]

Old Indian woman 1:
Lesbian? Her birthday's in March.

I thought she was a Pisces.

Old Indian woman 3:
She no Lebanese. She Punjabi!

Jess:
I don't know what she was saying!

Pinky:
Don't you want all of this? Isn't this the best day of your life, innit?
