Rosie Lines Flashcards
TANYA: Oh God-how much further in these stinking stilettos?
What did you expect-the chauffeured limousine at the water’s edge?
DONNA: Well, will you look at what the tide washed in?
For one night…
TANYA: … and one night only-
Donna-AND THE DYNAMOS!
TANYA & ROSIE: Donna-AND THE DYNAMOS!
So how’s the mother of the bride?
DONNA: I know and I’ve been chained to this place. The constant battles with the
bank-manager.
I pity the poor bank-manager.
SOPHIE: Auntie Rosie!
Sophie Sheridan! You get more gorgeous every time I see you. Don’t I get a big, fat
hug? I’ve come all this way for your wedding?
TANYA: I bet you don’t remember me.
All that plastic surgery.
DONNA: I know, well in my day, you just didn’t get married at twenty …
… Donna-in our day we didn’t get married-period!
DONNA: Girls, meet the leading man at tomorrow’s shin-dig. Sky, this is Tanya and Rosie, my
one-time back-up band and all-time best pals.
Back-up band, my ass. Hello.
TANYA: Why, what have you been up to?
You haven’t been here that long, have you?
SKY: No-I took a break from stocks and bonds and never went back.
Why?
DONNA: Are you kidding? I’ll be more than ready to put my feet up when my boat comes in.
Speaking of boats, I’d sink that old wreck you’ve got moored by the jetty.
DONNA: Sink it!
Well, it’s a bit of an eye-sore.
DONNA: That eyesore’s going to be my Floating Casino!
What?
SKY: Sailing round the islands, gambling under the stars …
Gambling millionaires-may be a few of your ex-husbands aboard, Tanya?
TANYA: Heads.
Blow. Don’t suck.
TANYA: All right, let’s see what you’re wearing for the wedding.
ROSIE holds up a pair of battered, baggy shorts.
You’re joking!
What? Oh-as if!
TANYA: Well. You could have been making some sort of statement on the tyranny of
wedlock.
You’d know more about that than me.
TANYA: Oh darling, you’ll meet your Mr. Right.
I have. I did … and all they wanted was to settle down and have babies. No thanks.
TANYA: No … children can become such subversive little buggers! I mean, who’d have
thought that Donna, the icon of female independence, would have a daughter
Committing matrimony at twenty.
White weddings are trendy.
TANYA: What’s wrong with these kids? Do you remember those t-shirts we used to wear?
