CCustomer

[Bellowing] Will you leave me alone?! I'm sick and tired of being hounded by salesmen in shops! I'm browsing, all right?! Browsing! At the end of it I might buy something, I might not - but you will not influence me one iota! Not one jot! Now I've finished with you, YOU MAY GO!

No one is willing to admit that wine doesn't actually have a taste.

But you can't taste anything, you smoke eighty bajillion cigarettes a day. What's that?

It's a coaster.

Is it? Are there any more?

[Speaking into a dictaphone] North ceiling corner, cobwebs containing a number of deceased arachnids... with beans.

[Very drunk] Why do you have a toaster in your bathroom? I'm on the toilet, right, and then Jimmy comes in, and he's drinking milk from the fridge, and that's all wrong - it's unhygienic. And what were you thinking when you said to yourselves, "Oh yeah, I'll get a wicker toilet"?

[Pretending to talk on the police station telephone, being watched by a policeman] Uh, yeah, hello...Raiders! You'd...just...better...watch it! Or I'll be down your manor with all the other policemen! And we'll arrest your arse! [timidly] Bye!

[Doing 'Good Cop, Bad Cop' with a local criminal]

You have... beautiful eyes.

I like the dead bees on the windowsill! They don't leave the door open and get us robbed!

Excuse me there seems to be some sort of mistake. I bought a drink and some popcorn and now I have no money.

TWTheater Worker

[Shows Bernard a video] This is the latest. Set in a women's prison. £25.

Do you have anything with nurses?

PPornographer

Yeah, sure, all sorts.

What kinds of nurses?

PPornographer

Well, ones with big tits!

No, I'm more interested in nurses who do paperwork, filing, that sort of thing.

PPornographer

That's very specific. Oh how about this? [Shows him another video] "Administrative Nurses", £40.

Sorry, that should say "Senior Administrative Nurses", that's really the only thing I'm interested in.

[The pornographer lifts his thumb to reveal the video's full title, "Senior Administrative Nurses"]

Well, maybe we could sit down, open a bottle of wine and watch it together?
