Flushed (05/12/2000)
- Jeff: [inaudible] She knows, you're gonna dump here?
- Steve: She ought to know by now, I dumped her the last four times, I've seen her.
- Jeff: So what goes wrong?
- Steve: We have sex.
- Jeff: You have sex?
- Steve: She makes me.
- Jeff: How?
- Steve: She suggests it.
- Jeff: SHE SUGGESTS IT!
- Steve: Exactly.
- Jeff: Evil!
- Sally: Remember: Every morning your face has slipped a little bit more. Since 30 I had to put a daily limit on facial expressions. I only ever smile at single man, so I can justify the loss of elasticity
- Susan: Sally, has it ever occured to you, that age brings wisdom and greater confidence?
- Sally: Susan.. Age brings you more to shave.
- Jeff: So you dump her and then she does this "suggesting-thing"?
- Steve: Yeah. You know, I'm just about to leave. I'll be thinking that I'm finally out. She just leans over, looks me in the eyes and says "I'm wearing stockings". (?)
- Jeff: Nooo...
- Steve: And she has never worn them before. Not once in the entire relationship. I BEGGED!
- Jeff: Yeah, but Steve, you're entitled to her stockings!
- Steve: Am I?
- Jeff: Yes, you're still in the zone.
- Steve: The what?
- Jeff: The boyfriend zone. This is the tailing-off period. You’ve still got a load of stuff in her flat. You might still have a wedding to go to together. You’re under joint headings in your friend's address books.
- Steve: You are a strange and disturbing man, Jeff.
- Jeff: Steve, do you know what I call this kind of woman? You know, the total "can't get rid of".
- Steve: Is this gonna be really tasteless? Am I gonna be ashamed to be your friend?
- Jeff: It's a technical term. It's just a harmless expression... "unflushable"!
- Steve: Turn around Jeff, walk away!
- Jeff: You know, because they keep...
- Steve: No, no, no, Jeff! GO! GO! ... Don't look back. GO!
- Jane: And so my sister said "no". So I said "yes" and then she said "no" again, so I just said "yes". But then she said "no", so I said "Yes, yes, YES!".
- Steve: How does this story end, exactly?
- Jane: She said, I had an answer for everything... And I just said "yeeeeees".
- Steve: ... But this time, Jane, I'm gonna put it very, very simply: It's over between us.
- Jane: You want us to split up?
- Steve: Yes! Oh yes, I do.
- Jane: I dont' accept.
- Steve: What?
- Jane: I don't accept it.
- Steve: No no, you can't not accept it! I'm breaking up with you.
- Jane: ... Anyway, my sister just looked at me and said "No, no, no!"
Size Matters (05/19/2000)
- Jeff: I mean, where exactly do you take your socks off? My advice is to take them off right after your shoes, and before your trousers. That’s the sock gap. Miss it, and suddenly you’re a naked man in socks. No self-respecting woman will ever let a naked man in socks do the squelchy with her
Sex, Death and Nudity (05/26/2000)
- Jeff: Only an interview? What if I panic? You know, what if I say an accidental word... there’s pressure, you know, the wrong word could just pop out of my mouth by accident... Nipples!
Inferno (06/02/2000)
- Jeff: Oh, wouldn’t that be great... being a lesbian. All the advantages of being a man, but with less embarrassing genitals.
The Girl with two Breasts (06/09/2000)
- Jeff: I need breasts with brains. I don’t mean individual brains, obviously... I mean, not a brain each. You know, I like intelligent women, but you’ve got to draw the line somewhere... I think breast brains would be over-egging the woman pudding.
The Cupboard of Patrick's Love (06/16/2000)
- Jeff: You know, when I was a kid, I used to write the word 'naked' hundreds of times on a piece of paper, and then rub my face in it.
That's just an initial release. Please make use of the discussion-feature if the "quotes" are too long.
