Episode #1.3 (2012)

Samuel West: Zak Gist

Quotes 

• Hannah : Did I spill a vol au vent on you at a party in Norwich?

  Zak Gist : If you did, it would have been the most interesting thing ever to happen to me in Norwich.

• Mack Steen : [looking for some booze]  Is it all bloody vino? Where's the bloody ales?

  Zak Gist : If he touches the 15-year-old Glenlivet, I'll kill him.

• Dezzy : Before Mack came, it was... well... Now, we're like a ship of friends, all on one last voyage.

  Zak Gist : And you're the belle of the ocean.

• Zak Gist : You threatened a resident. You used an Alzheimer's patient as hostage. You want court, Mr Cedric? You got it.

• Zak Gist : Mr Mountjoy sent us two - Mack and Keith Cedric. And I've failed them both.

• Tom Greening : [about Jude]  She kissed me.

  Zak Gist : Gosh!

  Tom Greening : And I absolutely did respond.

  Zak Gist : Heavens.

  Mrs. Sheringham : Just, er, tell us that you didn't...

  Tom Greening : And we slept together. Slept. I passed out. I think it was connected to the alcohol.

• [Tom has suggested that Zack give up his angel status so he can be with Hannah] 

  Zak Gist : This is the clock that sat in the Kremlin and counted down to Doomsday. Dooms-day! And Mr Mountjoy sent it to us. To *me*. He's not about to let another of us fall. We are here for humankind. Because they are *that* close. We cannot let them down, we can not! *I* cannot. You're an idiot. You're a stupid bloody idiot. But you're not as big an idiot as me.

• Zak Gist : A hangover slows a man down. Forces him to take stock. It begins like a lion and ends like a lullaby. Can't fight the hangover, old son. It's like growing old. Can't fight it.

  Tom Greening : But they do. They fight from when they're young; from the moment they sense death's coming.

• [last lines] 

  Zak Gist : It's a good job you didn't sleep with her. You'd probably've blown her head off.

  Tom Greening : Are we that impressive?

  Zak Gist : Oh, yeah.
