Anne Lister: So. Who broke the coffee machine? I’m not mad. I just want to know.
Ann Walker: I did. I broke it.
Anne Lister: No. No, you didn’t. Marian?
Marian Lister: Don’t look at me. Look at Father.
Jeremy Lister: What?! I didn’t break it.
Marian Lister: Huh, that’s weird. How did you even know it was broken?
Jeremy Lister: Because it’s sitting right in front of us and it’s broken!
Marian Lister: Suspicious.
Jeremy Lister: No, it’s not!
Aunt Anne: If it matters, probably not… Marian was the last one to use it.
Marian Lister: Liar! I don’t even drink that crap!
Aunt Anne: Oh, really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?
Marian Lister: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, Aunt!
Ann Walker: All right, let’s not fight. I broke it, let me pay for it.
Anne Lister: No. Who broke it?
Jeremy Lister, whispering: Aunt Anne has been awfully quiet…
*Everyone starts arguing*
Anne Lister, aside: I broke it. I burned my hand, so I punched it. I predict ten minutes from now, they’ll be at each other’s throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick. Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

Anne Lister: No. They also think I’m straight.
Mariana Lawton: Have they ever met a lesbian?
Anne Lister: It’s not so bad. It’s kind of fun having a secret.
Mariana Lawton: Yeah, I mean, there’s nothing more erotic than concealing your authentic selves.
