Quotes
[Steve tries to kiss Fiona]
Fiona Gallagher: [shies away] I can't...
[points to window]
Steve: [sighs and spins her away from the window] About 90% of this world's problems are caused by little words that come in pairs. We're healthy and we're happy... Yet when anybody asks us, we say "not bad".
Steve: [pauses and takes in shakey breath] You know when I saw you the first time dancing--this is about a month ago, by the way, in the process--I was desperate to buy you a drink. But you know what I said to myself? 'I can't.' 'She won't.' 'We wouldn't.'
Steve: [pauses again and unbuckles belt] And then you're there again tonight and all indications being that I'm getting a second chance to make a good impression. So you say 'stop' and I'll stop.

Crazy credits
There is a short scene after the end credits.

Awkward and amateur

Normally the British versions of shows that are remade by the US are infinitely better, more subtle and generally just funnier, after watching both versions the US version is just so much better, the British version feels like something made by a local amateur club. Maybe the British version will improve but so far it's just not nearly as good.....
