Pippa quotes from Dead Set

Pippa

I think we should stay here till the police come.

Patrick

Yeah? maybe you should compile a book of your fucking theories!

Pippa

I wish you'd stop huffing, you'll use up all the air.

Patrick

It's not a submarine, you specimen. Do you understand how air works?

Pippa

You've just wasted more air!

Patrick

Do you even understand what is going on here or is the whole world just colours and shapes and the occasional noise in your head?!

Patrick

Oh, stay out of it.

Pippa

That's our light machine!

Patrick

It's not a machine, it's a lamp.

Pippa

Well, it lights up the room.

Patrick

Well... (turns off lamp) it's dead now!

Pippa

(disgusted) It's bad for the environment, wasting light.

Patrick

I'm not wasting it, I'm turning it into something else.

Pippa

What, like, recycling?

Patrick

(exasperated) ...if you like.

Patrick

Listen to me. Stand there, you put your hand on the handle... put your hand on the fucking handle!

Pippa

(traumatised, near tears) I don't like it...

Patrick

Shut up and listen. You're gonna open that door, and you are gonna slam it, fucking SLAM IT on her, when she is halfway in. Do you understand what halfway is? Do you understand? Say "yes, I understand"!

Pippa

(still traumatised) Yes!

Pippa

(crying, quiet and high voice) I don't like it...

Patrick

It's either this, or we take it in turns shitting in the bin until we starve to death. Does that appeal? (Pippa shakes head) No? Then are you ready? (shouting) DO NOT FUCK THIS UP, alright?

Pippa

My God, you've killed Davina!

Patrick

I hired her, I can do what I like.
