[After an original Star Wars trilogy marathon]
You know, Brian, everything that happened in those movies can be attributed to the actions of one man.
The gunner on the Star Destroyer in the first film.
[chuckles in a knowing way] Well, if he'd shot the pod with R2 and 3PO in, they wouldn't have made it to Tatooine, they wouldn't have met Luke, Luke wouldn't have met Ben, they wouldn't have met Han and Chewie, they wouldn't have saved Princess Leia, none of it would have happened.
The predictability of random events. The notion that reality as we know it—past, present, future—is in fact a mathematically predictable preordained system.
DaisySo somewhere out there in the vastness of the unknown is an... equation... for predicting the future?
An equation so complex as to utterly defy any possibility of comprehension by even the most brilliant human mind, but an equation nonetheless.
[In dawning realization] Oh my god...
Daisy
What?
I've got some fucking Jaffa Cakes in my coat pocket. [They all cheer; Tim sings] "Oh Mummy, oh Daddy, let's all play kabaddi."
TTyres
Last night was an A-1, tip top clubbing jam fair. It was a sandwich of fun on ecstasy bread, wrapped up in a big bag like disco fudge. It doesn't get much better than that, I just wish sometimes I could control these FOCKING MOOD SWINGS! [calmer] So what did youse two 'friends' do last night?
Daisy
We just stayed in, didn't we, had a laugh, played Scrabble.
[About the possibility of getting back with his old girlfriend]
This is something that I've always wanted! You have things you want, you're always going on about going to Asia and seeing the Taj Mahal.
Daisy Steiner
I do want to go to Asia! I do want to see the Taj Mahal! The difference is, the Taj Mahal didn't sleep with its boss behind my back and break my heart!
Yeah, well... it might if you go to Asia!
[About ending his relationship with Sarah]
I just had a moment of clarity, you know, I woke up. It's like... you know when you have an orgasm on your own? [Daisy looks increasingly disgusted and uncertain during the following:] You know, you're sort of lying on the sofa watching some porn movie you bought on a drunken lonely night in Soho, and you're lying there and everything's going really great, you're getting totally turned on by these absurdly graphic images, everything seems so right, and suddenly - phht! Bingo! You wake up. And you're lying there sweating, desperately looking for the tissue which you know is still in your pocket, and the remote control which is somewhere on the floor, and it's like walking in on yourself, you know? It's just like "What're you doing?" That's how I felt tonight feeling my heart miss a beat everytime the door opened. "What the fuck are you doing?"
Daisy
Well, that's... love, isn't it? Load of old wank.
Life just isn't like the movies is it? We're constantly led to believe in resolution in the establishment of the ideal status quo, and it's just not true. Happy endings are a myth. Designed to make us feel better about the fact that life is just a thankless struggle.
[The pub band starts playing 'Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby?']
Daisy
You know what? I think I do.
[They dance happily]
[About getting back with Sarah]
Daisy
What do you mean, you have a "funny feeling"?
I can read her like a book.
Daisy
Never judge a book by its cover.
Daisy
Look before you leap.
Do you believe in life after love?
Daisy
That's a song.
Daisy
So how are you, then, you big bloody man?
I'm good. I'm good. I've just had a few things to work through.
Daisy
With Sarah?
[cut to Tim setting fire to a massive pile of boxes labelled "Star Wars Stuff", like Darth Vader's funeral pyre in Return of the Jedi, while "Luke's Theme" by John Williams plays]
Daisy
Tim, it's been over a year.
It's been 18 months, Daisy. And it still hurts.
Daisy
Well I didn't think Phantom Menace was that bad.
Daisy
It's nice to see you, Mike. What've you been up to?
I'm through to the quarterfinals of Robot Wars.
Daisy
Wow!
But I've had to move out of Mum's place.
Daisy
Really?
Things have been a bit... difficult. She's been very overbearing and I felt suffocated. I've got a lot to offer the world, and my mum's not ready to accept that yet.
Daisy
[impressed] Right.
And I shot the cat up the arsehole.
[Daisy pretending to be Philippa Forrester to interview Tim]
Daisy
This is a very large machine Tim. Take you long?
Daisy
Hm, fast worker?
Well why don't you come on back to my flat and we'll find out.
Daisy
I think you've already answered my question [laughs].
So you like my robot then.
Daisy
I love it. [gasp] What's this?
It's an axe. Feel the weight.
[Daisy lifts the axe. Both draw in a breath.]
Daisy
There's nothing more devastating than a big chopper.
Shhh...[places a finger over Daisy's lips] Don't cheapen this. [moves the hair from her face]
[Daisy and Tim move closer, apparently about to kiss, when Mike opens the front door.]
[suspicious] What's going on?
Uh, I was just coming - to the pub, with you.
Yeah, I think we should take the Private down to the shed.
[Mike goes to another room.]
Daisy
Hmm, what's up with Mike?
Nothing, he just, he usually likes to be Philippa.
[On realizing who Duane is]
Daisy
You're Duane. The Duane Duane.
Daisy
The Duane Benzie that... [Whistles]
Well, that depends on which way you look at it.
Daisy
I think that Tim looks at it that way.
