Quotes7

  • Angus: The way I look at it, the world couldn't survive without my comedy, and who's going to have the moral backbone to play the Seekers when the mood is right?
  • Dave: They've split up.
  • Angus: I intend to celebrate the back catalogue.
  • Dave: I intend to stop you doing so.
  • Mark: [silently stands up and lights a cigarette]
  • Simon: As some of you know, my wife left me after 17 hours of marriage, but I survived that because I live for music. And now, with nothing else to live for, I'm willing to die for it as well.
  • 'On-The-Hour' John: I've always lived for news and weather. Happy to die for them, too. Especially the weather.
  • Bob Silver 'the Dawn Treader': I've got nowhere else to go.
  • Harold: I have somewhere else to go, but it's Peckham. So I think I'll stick around.
  • Felicity: Can't let everyone starve. And I'm slightly worried where my increasingly powerful sexuality will take me when I return to normal life.
  • Thick Kevin: I've got a very strong suspicion that Felicity fancies me. Not about to go anywhere, just when I'm in with a chance.
  • 'Young' Carl: Obviously, I'm in. You're the only people in the world who like me.
  • Simon: Remember folks, "It ain't simple bein' cool, but it's cool bein' simple."
  • Simon: I believe the technical term is a *fuckload* of boats!
  • Dave: Walk this way.
  • Simon: Don't walk that way!
  • 'Young' Carl: I'm just gonna...
  • Simon: Walk woodpecker way.
  • Quentin: Gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. Which would you prefer?
  • Thick Kevin: Good news.
  • Quentin: Okay. The good news is the engine has exploded and we're all going to die.
  • Dave: Hello, Dr Dave, Radio Rock. How is that good news?
  • Quentin: I haven't yet told you how we're going to die. That's the bad news.
  • Simon: How are we gonna die?
  • Quentin: We're going to drown in the freezing waters of the North Sea.
  • Felicity: Dearie me.
  • Quentin: There is a huge hole in the side of the boat and in an unfortunate development, it transpires that the lifeboats are useless.
  • Thick Kevin: [to Angus] Actually, that's quite good for you, isn't it? 'Cause you can't swim, so you'll die quicker.
  • Quentin: Sorry.
  • Simon: I think we're actually going to die.
  • Thick Kevin: Why?
  • Simon: I'll explain later.
  • Simon: [to his bride, Elenore] Wow. You look like a unicorn... in a negligee.
