Jesminder (Jess) Bhamra Juliette (Jules) Paxton

Quotes:
Mrs. Bhamra: She’s bringing shame on the family!

Jess: It’s not fair, the boys never have to come home and help.

Mrs. Paxton: No boy’s going to want to go out with a girl who’s got bigger muscles than him!

Mrs. Bhamra: What family will want a daughter-in-law who can run around kicking a football all day but can’t make round chapattis?

Mrs. Bhamra: That’s it! No more football!

Mr. Bhamra: You must start behaving like a proper woman.

Jess: Anyone can cook aloo gobi, but who can bend a ball like Beckham?

Jess: Indian girls aren’t supposed to play football.

Pinky: What is wrong with you Jess? … Don’t you want a boyfriend like everyone else?

Jess: I don’t want you to think I’m not as strong as the others.

Pinky: Why couldn’t you do it in secret like everyone else?

Mr. Bhamra: I was not allowed to play in any of the teams, and these bloody goras in their clubhouses made fun of my turban… I don’t want you to build up Jessminder’s hopes. She will only end up disappointed like me.

Joe: Whose life are you living, Jess?

Jules: If you give up football now, what’ll you have to give up next?

Mrs. Paxton: I’ve decided that I’ve got to take an interest, or I’ll lose you.

Mr. Bhamra: Play well and make us proud.

Mrs. Paxton: Get your lesbian feet out of my shoes!

Jess: I want more than this. They’ve offered me and Jules a scholarship to go and play in America.

Pinky: There’s no way Dad’ll let you live abroad without getting married first.

Jules: Just because I wear trackies and play sport does not make me a lesbian!

Jess: I’m not lying any more. I played in the final today, and we won… if I can’t tell you what I want now, then I’ll never be happy, whatever I do.

Mr. Bhamra: I don’t want Jessie to suffer. I don’t want her to make the same mistakes that her father made, of accepting life, accepting situations.

Mr. Bhamra: I’ve seen her play; she is brilliant. I don’t think anybody has the right of stopping her.
