Panic Attack! Panic Attack!
Edina
What is that on the toast?
Saffron
It's honey, Mother.
Edina
Oh, my god ... Oh, my god. Honey! That's not honey.
Sweetie, that's my bloody royal jelly moisturizer. You
are eating £300-worth of royal jelly that has been
hand-squished from a bee's backside. And not just any
old bee, but the bloody Gucci of bees.
Saffron
Flattery won't turn me into your servant. The coffee is
on the table in front of you .... Pick up a spoon .... Put
coffee in cup ... Pour on boiling water.
Edina
Scald hand .... Third-degree burns....Screaming in
agony. Do you really want that on your conscience,
darling?
Edina
Chanting as we speak.
Saffron
Mum, you've absolved yourself of responsibility. You
live from self-induced crisis to self-induced crisis.
Somebody chooses what you wear. Someone does
your brain. Someone tells you what to eat, and, three
times a week, someone sticks a hose up your bum and
flushes it all out of you.
Edina
It's called colonic irrigation, darling, and it's not to be
sniffed at.
Saffron
Why can't you just go to the toilet like normal people?
Edina
Is that what you really want me to be? Normal? Some
boring, normal, old toilet-goer? ‘Where's mummy?’
‘She's on the toilet.’ ‘But I want to go somewhere
exciting and meet interesting people.’ ‘She can't take
you ... she's on the toilet.’
