• Harold : What the hell was Colin doing with a Lime'ouse minicab driver in Belfast?

  Jeff : Colin can't drive.

  Harold : Oh, that makes sense. Second question: Belfast? What was he doing there? I know Colin fancies soldiers, but that's taking his buggery a bit far, isn't it?

• Harold : Alan found him dying. He'd been nailed to the floor.

  Jeff : When was this, then?

  Harold : Well, it must've been just after you saw him and just before Alan saw him. Otherwise, you'd have noticed, wouldn't you? I mean, a geezer nailed to the floor. A man of your education would definitely have spotted that, wouldn't he?

• [in the lift on the way to Harold and Victoria's penthouse] 

  Jeff : I wanna lick every inch of you...

  [the lift stops, the bell pings] 

  Victoria : Saved by the bell. Goodnight.

• Jeff : Jesus Christ, British army's been dying up there with shit flying at them from all angles for the last 10 years, and you're not impressed? They can take over here any time they want!

  Harold : Shut up, just shut up!

  Jeff : You won't stop them. To them you're nothing, nothing! The shit on their shoes.

• Harold : Don't you ever worry about your liver?

  Jeff : Nah, we're just good friends.

• Victoria : I hate lifts. It gets very claustrophobic in here with a lot of people.

  Jeff : Depends on the people.

• Harold : I'm going to annihilate them!

  Jeff : You can't wipe them out.

  Harold : You just watch me!

  Jeff : Kill 10, 20. Bring out the tanks and the flamethrowers! They pour back, like an army of ants! Work with them.

• Harold : Blown up! He's dead! Eric is dead - car bomb. Mother's all right, suffering from shock in a hospital.

  Jeff : I don't understand.

  Harold : You need a million-dollar computer to understand this!

• Harold : So he took a dip?

  Jeff : Yeah, he stupidly helped himself.

  Harold : How much?

  Jeff : Five grand.

  Harold : Do what? You mean all this anarchy is for five poxy grand?

• Harold : Oh Jeff... won't be a minute... keep your eyes on the boys' behavior. I don't want any of 'em acting like delinquents.

  Jeff : Not a chance, they know it's important. I told them to put their wedding suits on.
