Tracey: She got a heart of gold, Shal?
Sharon: That's the buzz on the street, Trace.
[Dorien cuts through the stems]

[Dorien puts the flowers in the vase, only the flowers are visible at the top of the vase.]

Season Four

Hungry for Love [4.8]

Dorien [dressed in a leotard]: Coo-ee!!
Sharon: It's an OAP from Fame.

Dorien: He doesn't seem interested. I don't understand it!
Sharon: Perhaps you're being too subtle.
Dorien: I hardly think so. When he came round this morning, I opened the door in my underwear.
Sharon: I didn't know you had a door in your underwear! What is it - a tradesmen's entrance?
Dorien: It isn't funny.
Sharon: It is.
Dorien: There I was, standing in front of him, half naked.
Sharon: What happened?
Dorien: Nothing, he took one look at my body and said he'd come back when I've finished the ironing.
Dorien: He just doesn't know what he's missing, a woman of my experience can show him things he'd never seen before.
Sharon: Yeah, but perhaps he's not turned on by liver spots and stretch marks.
Dorien: Well, I'm not beaten yet, I'll have that Bret Warner's amazing technicolor jockstrap hanging off the end of my four poster if I have to prise it off with a crowbar.

[Dorien and Tracey look perplexed]
Sharon: Otherwise known as the Community Chest.
Dorien: Yes, thank you Sharon, at least I don't have to buy my bras from High & Mighty.
Tracey: Go to jail?
Sharon: Well, that's handy, if you see Chris give him a kick up the cobbler for me, will you?
[Sharon rolls the dice]
Sharon: Nine. Which means I'm on...
Dorien: Park Lane, which happens to be owned by moi, and look, I've got a hotel on it.

Birds of a Feather: East Side Story

Tracey: Calm down, we ain't in San Antonio now.
Sharon: Brilliant night, though, weren't it?
Tracey: Yeah! Here, where are the kids?
Dorien: The sun's coming back up, Rosa's obviously has gone back to her coffin. I'd better go, we really must do this again sometime.
Sharon: Great! When?
Dorien: How about when hell freezes over? Ciao!
[Knocking]
Sharon: What was that?
Tracey: It was out the back by the pool.
Dorien: Oh my god, burgulars, call the police.
Sharon: We can't.
Dorien: Why not?
Sharon: The filter unit was on police five last week.
