    • Quotes

      First Store Assistant: I think you would remember him, sir.

      Customer: Why do you say that?

      First Store Assistant: Well, would you remember a man 6 foot 9 inches high, 40ish, and he's got a scar from here to here, and absolutely no nose?

      Customer: Oh... I think I do remember somebody like that.

      First Store Assistant: Ah well, that's not Michael Ellis.
