Quotes

Shooting Fish

Edit
  • Dylan: We're about to become the proud possessors of 2 million quid in useless notes because the queen doesn't like her picture. Jesus Christ, it's self, self, self for some people!
  • [inside the night-club]
  • Dylan: [seductively] I want to pleasure you with my tongue.
  • [Georgie walks away in disgust. She sees Jez who has been waiting for her outside the night-club, dressed in his shorts after escaping from his "quick-release trousers"]
  • Georgie: Hello.
  • Jez: Hi.
  • Georgie: This is a surprise.
  • Jez: Yeah, isn't it.
  • Georgie: What are you doing here? Was it Scouts tonight?
  • Jez: No, no. I was just passing. Are you OK?
  • Georgie: [unconvincingly] Yeah.
  • Jez: Did he try to "pleasure you with his tongue"?
  • Georgie: Is it that obvious?
  • Jez: It's kind of a compulsion with him. He has to exchange fluids with everyone he meets. That's why we never have pets.
  • Jez: Dylan's completely trustworthy. He's just a bit unreliable in some areas.
  • Dylan: Would you allow me the pleasure of taking you to the theatre on Saturday night?
  • Georgie: Do you ask all your secretaries to go to the theatre with you on their first date?
  • Dylan: Actually, it's something of a tradition. Yes, I do.
  • Georgie: Oh. Well, who am I to deprive an American of what little tradition he can get?
  • Georgie: I feel like Wedding-Day Barbie. I couldn't be happier.
  • Dylan: Now *that* is a thing of beauty.
  • Jez: Who you're flirting with.
  • Dylan: You fallen?
  • Jez: No I haven't.
  • Dylan: Jez, you've got a little bit of a crush? You're wasting your time.
  • Jez: I know: you're good looking and I'm too technical.
  • Dylan: Jez, you've got to stop punishing yourself. You're not too technical, just ugly, gross ugly.
  • [helium voice]
  • Jockey: I knew if he got the right conditions we'd be flyin'.
  • Friend of Lady Georgina: Well done! Marvellous race, Lady Georgina.
  • Georgie: Oh thank you. Oh, I forgot to mention that.
  • Jez: *Lady* Georgina?
  • Georgie: You're not cross, are you? No, you're pleased.
  • Dylan: Doctor, peer of the realm and with secretarial skills? Who'd be cross?
  • Police detective: Sir, so far the only proof of a burglary is that someone stopped your video taping Blind Date.
  • Mrs Ray: Bastards!
  • Mr Ray: Oh, shut it!
  • Georgie: How long have you been in England?
  • Dylan: Five years.
  • Georgie: And you still stay 'bucks' and 'babe'?
  • [Jez is discovered in the Rays' house. He tries to escape but Geoff catches hold of his trousers as he is climbing over the fence]
  • Geoff: [gleefully] I've got you now, boy. I've got you now.
  • [Jez presses a button on his waistband and shoots upwards and over the fence, minus his trousers]
  • Jez: [to himself] All praise to my quick-release trousers.
  • [filling in "complete the following phrase" coupons for prize draws]
  • Jez: "In not more than eight words, explain why you buy Zappy Nappies."
  • Dylan: "I buy Zappy Nappies for my kids..." Shit, I've run out of words.
  • Jez: We could try that: "I buy Zappy Nappies for my kids' shit." I've got it: "Weighs less than a bun. Holds more than a ton."
  • Dylan: That's completely disgusting.
  • Jez: But it's honest.
  • [Georgie is fast asleep next to Jez in the car]
  • Dylan: You know, I can see it now - she's a stunningly attractive woman.
  • Jez: It means she's relaxed in our company.
  • Dylan: If she relaxes any more it could get very messy.
  • Jez: Don't. She might hear you.
  • Dylan: Jez, look at her. She's wasted. God only knows what she was up to last night.
  • Jez: You're twisted. She's got charm and warmth and...
  • Dylan: ...and neat little sit-up breasts.
  • Jez: I was wondering... would you... perhaps you'd might consider... or... or think about... possibly...
  • Dylan: I think he's trying to ask you if you'd like to kiss him.
  • Georgie: Oh, go on then.
  • [Jez and Georgie kiss passionately]
  • Dylan: Has the British aristocracy lost all sense of decency?
  • [sees Floss approaching]
  • Dylan: I certainly hope so.
  • Georgie: No. Never trust a man with woman's hips.
