Mark and Jez in “Unfinished Business”

[Mark is making a list of everything that Jez can consume.]

Toilet paper, OK. Soap, OK. But not shower gel. And no razors. If you're poor, grow a beard. Tea Bags are allowed within limits.

Limits? What Limits?

No making a pie out of tea or anything weird.

Look Mark, lay off, will you? The thing is... and, I keep meaning to tell you this, but, basically, a few years ago, mummy gave me a nest egg, and I kept on meaning to... invest, but it turns out, I've spent it.

You ate your nest egg? You're meant to sit on your nest egg 'til it hatches, not eat it like some greedy mad chicken. Well, the solution's obvious: get a job!

Yeah, fine, whatever, but it's difficult, you know? There just aren't that many media positions out there. That's the reality.

So? Do something else. Get on your bike.

I can't believe you're trying to make me get a job not in the media. You're such a bastard.

You have to pay rent, Jeremy, that needs to happen.

[Jez takes a sausage from Mark's plate]

Put the sausage back! I'm deadly serious! Y-you never pay any rent - if you start stealing from me as well, that's it, you'll have to move out. This is the final straw!

[Jez eats the sausage anyway]

(Mmm... Delicious Cumberland final straw, dripping in onion gravy.)
