ANNETTE: There's not enough room
in here to swing a cat. JAZZ: With your luck, you could have had half the girls in our town.
HARRY: You could have a whale of a time sacrificing
virgins on the altar. I've already done a couple here myself! ANNETTE: You're very late, Jazz. Where have you been? MIKE: You know your trouble, Jazz? You worry too much. I bet you even take all your problems to bed with you. ANNETTE: (WAKING UP BUT STILL HALF ASLEEP) Who were you talking to, darling? SHARON: (ON THE TELEPHONE) Well, what do you make of ten across, then? (READING STILTEDLY:) Human organic waste. Starts with S.......Yeah, that's what I put, but that's only got four letters! Besides, they wouldn't print that word in The Sun - not without asterisks, anyway, and they don't fit too well in crosswords.......Never mind, I'll get Mr Jasmine to help me when he arrives.......Does he fancy me? Something rotten! He said that, with experience, one day I could be as useful to him as acute angina......I know, talk about forward! MIKE: You get crapped on more often than Nelson's Column.
JAZZ: Spontaneous though it may not be, the condom still has distinct advantages over the pill. HARRY: The Church is old hat. God's out nowadays, my son. SONIA: (REFERRING TO A FOOTBALL-PLAYING EX-BOYFRIEND) Geoff....Now he really could play. He was a striker and boy, did he know how to hit the mark. Give him half a chance and it was in there. Do you know, he once scored ten times in ninety minutes? For me, it was his timing that made him a bit special. He knew just when to hold off and when to come through with a spurt. Then, alas, one day it was all over. He was in the throes of shooting when he overstretched and gave himself a groin strain. It was terrible. I had to help him off before the substitute could come on. Of course, he tried making a comeback, but blow football was about his limit. JAZZ: Do you have as much trouble recognising your boyfriend, Sharon?. MRS TURNER: (UNCONVINCINGLY) Seriously, James, this place is very nice....as a whole. MAJOR: The secret is that I'm always mindful of what they taught me in the SAS....(THEN, QUICKLY:)....Not that I was ever in the SAS, you understand....No, no, no, no....I meant, I'm mindful of what they would have taught me in the SAS, had I ever been there....Which I wasn't....Ever! JAZZ: (REFERRING TO A BOTTLE OF PINK CHAMPAGNE) Not for me, thanks. I've come across this particular brand before - the little known, but appropriately named, Paul Crudle. It looks delightful, smells gorgeous and tastes foul....Just like a girl I knew, actually! LESLEY: Did you know that, when hunting, the polar bear disguises itself as a pile of snow? GUARD: Is this one of your famous pleasure jaunts, or are you taking the wife along as well, sir? JAZZ: Did you remember to type up that letter I left you?. |
