Quotes9

  • George: [about Simone] She's a woman of substance. A lady.
  • Thomas: I thought you said she was a tart. A tall thin black tart.
  • George: Maybe, but she's still a fucking lady.
  • Thomas: [shows George a plate of plastic spaghetti] What do you think?
  • George: Do you melt it down and eat it?
  • Thomas: No. They're ornamental.
  • George: Ornamental spaghetti.
  • Thomas: Yeah. Could go a bomb.
  • George: Where'd you get them?
  • Thomas: Contacts, George. You can't find plastic spaghetti just anywhere.
  • Thomas: You're not joking, are ye?
  • George: When did I ever joke?
  • Thomas: You used to tell that one about the randy gorilla.
  • George: Yer, well no-one ever laughed, did they?
  • Thomas: It's the way you tell 'em...
  • Thomas: You fancy a fiberglass fruit flan? Or a polystyrene tutti frutti? Fancy a cup of tea?
  • George: What's it made of?
  • Thomas: Leaves!
  • Thomas: You can never tell with women, George. They're different. They wear skirts and like to powder their noses and when they go to heaven they get wings.
  • George: Like angels?
  • Thomas: Aye, like angels.
  • George: Yeah, but angels are men, Thomas.
  • Thomas: Men?
  • George: Yeah.
  • Thomas: No one told me that.
  • George: lt's true, angels are men.
  • Thomas: Anyway, listen: what about this tall, thin, black story?
  • George: Ah... well, we got it wrong, the fella did... actually, she's a nun in disguise.
  • Thomas: What kind of a nun?
  • George: A Sister of Mercy. Y'know, those that wear the big white bonnets.
  • Thomas: Aye, with the big thingummys on it?
  • George: Yeah.
  • Thomas: You didn't wear this the whole time, though?
  • George: Well, she can't, can she, she's on the game, it'd look a bit funny, wouldn't it, and spoil the point of the exercise.
  • Thomas: How?
  • George: She wouldn't be in disguise then, would she?
  • Thomas: [on reflection] Well, that's nuns for ye.
  • George: So what about this job then?
  • Thomas: Well its just driving, you know.
  • George: Oh, driving who?
  • Thomas: A tall thin black tart. l could write a book about it.
  • George: Too many t's.
  • Thomas: [seeing George is watching a porn film on TV] Channel 4, is it?
  • Thomas: Let's face it. You're not a very good bet, though, are you, George?
