Quotes from Elaine Cassidy's Characters

Sue Trinder:	What's it say?
Maud Lilly:	They're full of words saying.. how I want you. How.. I love you.

Sinead ("Runt"):	What's the color of love, Pig?
Darren ("Pig"):	What sort of love, love?
Sinead ("Runt"):	Don't know. But you know the way things, they got a color. I wonder what the color of love is.
Darren ("Pig"):	Jesus, Runt. You could read a thousand thick books and never know the answer to that quiz.
Sinead ("Runt"):	It's be a good one to know, ah?
Darren ("Pig"):	It'd be brilliant, Runt. It's around here somewhere
Darren ("Pig"):	It'd be brilliant, Runt. It's around here somewhere.

Sinead ("Runt"):	Runt: Only a few moments old, and I start thinking things then. Staring at that white sky right above me. And I want for something altogether different. And that's when I hear him. Pig: [baby cries] Runt: And through the Noddy and Big Ears'd wall, I search after his cry. The cry so lonely it scares and makes me cry too. And all the sights that we could see, they go invisible when we hear each other's cries. And that's when the magic it all begin. It begin when the baby Pig, and baby Runt, state through their baby eyes, you see. And the crying and screaming all stop. Runt: From that moment on, we become one. And we need no one else. Nobody.

Sinead ("Runt"):

I want to walk into the sea and never come back. I want the tide to take me out of me and give me someone else. Maybe for a half hour or so. That would be good, wouldn't it, Pig?
