Effie: Sadie, I know you want everything to be perfect on your wedding day. But you do realise, the chances of keeping the girls looking tidy for more than half an hour are quite slim?
Will: Half an hour? You’re optimistic!
Sadie: Oh darling! I know that – they are just babies, they can run around and have fun and get messy if they want! I’ll probably have more of a job trying to get Dan looking tidy anyway…but it doesn’t matter.
Effie: I think Daisy and her Uncle Dan have a lot in common, genetically!
Sadie: I wonder what our babies will be like?
Sadie: And how about Rowan’s baby? I wonder who hers will look like?
Will: Well I don’t suppose it will come out with bleach blond hair!
Sadie: It’s just funny though, isn’t it, how your genes get shaken up? I mean, look at the twins –
Sadie: – Jessica’s such a little carbon copy of you, isn’t she, Will?
Sadie: And little Daisy, she looks so much like you, Effie. They don’t really look like a mixture of the both of you.
Effie: I know what you mean, Sadie…
Effie: It’s hard to think what Rowan’s baby would look like, if it looked like both her and Jake – they are such complete opposites!
Sadie: I don’t really think of them as being opposites, you know!
Will: I can’t really think of any other way to describe them…
Sadie: I like to think of them as being – what’s the word – complimentary!
Sadie: Like two things that a different, but work so well together…like sweet and sour! Or maybe not…that’s more like opposites again, isn’t it, and you’d have to say Rowan was the sour one, which would be a bit unfair, because Jake would definitely have to be the sweet one…oh, what would be a better example!
Will: Cheese and onion?
Sadie: Oh yes that’s quite good – or chicken and tarragon, you know, one’s a herb and one’s a – um – chicken – so they’re different things, but so good together…or like, rhubarb and custard…
Sadie: – or tuna and cucumber…
Will: We probably ought to get her in out of the sun.
