Quotes 

• [Danielle, Giovanni and Max enter the classroom, with Giovanni holding Danielle's handbag] 

  Giovanni Capello : [to Max]  Eh, next time you carry the handbag, huh?

  Maximillian Papandrious : No I think it suits you more.

  [Max wolf-whistles] 

  Juan Cervantes : [nudging Giovanni]  Hey, give me a kiss!

  Giovanni Capello : [hits Juan with Danielle's handbag, walks off, and hands it to her]  Your hand-a bag.

  Danielle Favre : Thank you Giovanni.

  Ranjeet Singh : [to Danielle]  You just missed it!

  Anna Schmidt : We are having our photographs taken by Taro.

  Danielle Favre : [intrigued]  Taro. I would very much like you to take a photograph of me.

  Giovanni Capello : [approaches Danielle]  Eh, I take-a your picture.

  Danielle Favre : You have not a camera.

  Giovanni Capello : Sure I got a camera at home. You come back with me after the class, and we take lots of pictures. And then we can see what develops. Eh? what you say?

  Danielle Favre : [cheekily]  I say no.

• [Mr. Brown asks each member of the class a question from the blackboard, based on their homework] 

  Jeremy Brown : All right now, Ranjeet, question 2. Name the three classes of gender, and give an example of each.

  Ranjeet Singh : [stands and puts hands together]  Thousand apologies, but I have answered the question with nothing.

  Jeremy Brown : You mean you haven't answered the question?

  Ranjeet Singh : That is the gist of what I am saying. I am not comprehending the meaning of the word 'gender'.

  Jeremy Brown : Gender is the grammatical classification of the sex of proper nouns.

  Ranjeet Singh : [slightly confused]  But we are learning about English, not about sex!

  Danielle Favre : [turns to Ranjeet]  You cannot learn sex from books Ranjeet, you either have it or you don't have it.

  Giovanni Capello : [to Ranjeet, smirking]  I have it, I know all about sex.

  Maximillian Papandrious : [puts hand on Anna's and grins]  Me too!

  [Anna says nothing and smacks him for being rude] 

  Jeremy Brown : [to the class]  Yes well may I remind you that we are not here to discuss sex.

  Danielle Favre : Why not? it is a very interesting subject.

  Jeremy Brown : Yes I'm aware of that, but there's a time and a place for everything.

  Danielle Favre : [smiling at Mr. Brown]  You tell me the time and the place, and I shall be there.

  [approving whistle from Giovanni at Danielle's seductive suggestion to Mr. Brown]
