FREDDIE: It's my party and I demand you dance!

BRIAN: We're gonna go actually.

FREDDIE: Good God! You're dull, if you were any more dull you'd be Deacy.

BRIAN: What do you need darling? You don't have to be embarrassed.

RACHAEL: (sighs) Can you get a pregnancy test?

RACHAEL: (to herself) "I suddenly felt Brian's gentle protective hands on my shoulders."

BRIAN: I'm home darling. I got you your pregnancy test. Are you ready?

RACHAEL: (sighs) I don't think I can do this!

BRIAN: (chuckles) I'll come in with you, come on darling.

RACHAEL: I know that Brian, it's just, you know, with Queen and the touring... Isn't it gonna be too much?

BRIAN: No, never, you know Fred likes our families to come along on the tours.

RACHAEL: I know, I just don't wanna overwhelm you.
