SHEILA: If she didn't answer its probably because she's too busy swinging in doctor delectable's eyes.
GARY: Eh?
SHEILA: The best looking man in Erinsborough Hospital, and even though I love him to death, I include Clive in that assessment.
GARY: Looks aren't everything mum.
SHEILA: I know love, but its not like he's smart or anything, he's only an obstetrician, a gynaecologist, he's got a masters of linguistics...
GARY: Yeah I bet he can't cook to save himself!
(Gary walks off)
