Annie Sawyer quotes from Being Human

Annie

Okay, I've written a list of questions for you to ask him.

Mitchell

[Reading the list] 'Are you screwing Janey Harris?'

Annie

She always fancied him and believe me, if she knew when I died she'd have been here before the ambulance crew.

Mitchell

[Reading the list] 'Has my sister had a baby?' Awww...

Annie

They've been trying for ages. I blame her husband, his name's Robin and he works in a Post Office.

Annie

So what did you think of her then? Janey?

George

She's... orange.

Annie

She works in a tanning salon. She thinks that looks classy! [sulking] I think she looks like Kilroy.

Annie

Maybe he's had a blow to the head.

George

I'm sorry?

Annie

Happened to my Nan. She got hit in the head by a radio controlled plane at a county fair. From that moment - obsessed with pygmy goats.

George

There wasn't a single bit of that sentence I understood.

Tully

The Earth my pillow, my canopy the stars.

Annie

Oh, I'd like to see George living like that. He had a panic attack in the Eden Project.

Mitchell

Carol from number twelve is gonna lend us Casablanca.

George

Why?

Mitchell

I'm only in it!

Annie

Get out!

Mitchell

Yeah, I'm just an extra... in the bar... and you can't actually see me, obviously. But I do knock over a chair at one point and you can see that.

Annie

You were in Casablanca?! How did you swing that?

Mitchell

Well, I know people. I move and shake.

George

Look, don't try to understand George.

Annie

George? George who?

George

...Me!

Annie

[To George] Oh my God. You're Tully's Mini-Me!

Mitchell

Yes!

Annie

[to George about Mitchell] Don't go in for a hug, he might kiss you.

Mitchell

What, I--

George

Aw, I leave you two alone for five minutes...

Mitchell

Owen's moved on with his life. You need to do the same.

Annie

I'm dead, in case you hadn't noticed!

So, what's it like living with Mitchell and his mate?

Annie

Yeah, it's great...

Don't you find it a bit... violent?

Annie

Violent...?

You know... when they... kill people?

Annie

Oh! No no no, they don't do that. Mitchell's on the wagon; and George, you know, he restricts himself to the odd rat or squirrel in the woods and he never brings it home.

That's still death for no reason. And death for no reason's murder. I'm a vegetarian. [Note: ghosts like Gilbert cannot eat.]

HANG the DJ!!! That record came out in 1990!

Annie

Who are you, the 80's police?

No, just someone with taste.

George

And where have you been young lady?.

Annie

I met up with Gilbert. We went to the cemetery.

Mitchell

He knows how to show a girl a good time(!).

Annie

I'd like to be like his guardian angel and stop anything bad from happening to him.

Can you stop him from listening to Michael Bublé?

George

Oh Annie, I really like this woman and it would be so nice to spend an evening with her without worrying about her discovering the existence of the spirit world as well as what I am.

Annie

Loads of people have had an experience with a ghost, and if they haven't they know someone who has. It is a lot more socially acceptable than you may think. They talk about it on Loose Women all the time.

Annie

You look like bar staff.

George

Fair enough, the last time I wore it someone did ask me if the jalfrezi was off.

Mitchell

So, this "not-a-date"... tonight's the night you're gonna tell her you cross-dress?

George

[to Annie] Er... you agree with him?

Annie

It's hideous.

George

Oh, well... I kept the receipt...
