Promise me you will not try to sleep with her.

So. You slept with her. You promised.
JJez
I promised to try not to.
Yeah, well you didn't try very hard did you.
JJez

It's probably some young black kid who's been accused of stealing a bun, and I'm going to set him free.
No smoke without fire? Is that what 1000 years of British Judicial Law has come down to? No smoke without fire?!
Saying 'I Love You' is like firing first in a duel; if you miss, you're fucked!
JJez

Oh, that's a great law isn't it? What's that, Gaddafi's law?
JJez
It's the musician's law. Colonel Gaddafi could not lay down a bass hook, Mark. That should be clear even to you!
Sophie! The Sophster! Sophistry!
So, a candle stuck in a wine bottle apparently doesn't cut it anymore. Now for a special night you have to have Class-A drugs and... fisting.

JJez
Jesus Mark, why didn't you bang one?
Because I don't want to wake up dribbling in a phone box with a trucker's penis in my ear!
It's like I'm trapped in a giant Aero!
While we’re at it, there are systems for a reason in this world. Economic stability, interest rates, growth. It’s not all a conspiracy to keep you in little boxes, alright? It’s only the miracle of consumer capitalism that means you’re not lying in your own shit, dying at 43 with rotten teeth. And a little pill with a chicken on it is not going to change that.
