Vince:
They're not all they're cracked up to be - dads.

Sam:
Yeah, but Vince, you know, you'd think you'd know who you slept with, if you're a woman.

Vince:
I wouldn't know.

Sam:
But if you're gonna have a kid...

Vince:
Well, people are different. I didn't do a lot of it because, well, for various reasons, it wasn't on the cards for me.

Sam:
Yeah, but it's just not nice to think that your mum's easy.

Vince:
She's not "easy." There was a sexual revolution going on, and some people were at the forefront of that.

Sheila:
[returning his cigarette] What can I give you for it?

Sam:
A job.

Sheila:
Right. Like I'm gonna give you a job tomorrow.

Sam:
Give us a job tonight, then.

Sheila:
Do you do this sort of thing all the time?

Sam:
[eating Cheerios] No. I'm usually a corn flakes man.

Jill:
Look-look, but don't build this brick wall between us. I-I-I can see this wall being built, and... and at the moment it's about this high, and in a few weeks it's gonna be this high, and in a few months it'll be up there, and before you know it there'll be this permanent brick wall between us, and all I'm saying is don't put any more bricks in it.

Kate:
Are you saying I'm a thief?

Sam:
Yeah. I've read about people like you.

Kate:
You wanna search me?

Sam:
Maybe.

[walks to him, smiles and waits]

Sam:
[laughs] F*** off next door. I'm not touching you.

Sheila:
Have you been harassing my staff?

Bernie:
I was going to ask you the same thing.

Tony:
Are you waiting for breakfast?

Sam:
No.

Tony:
Do you want some?

Sam:
Okay. Thanks. I'm a friend of... your daughter's.

Tony:
Either that or you're after the furniture.

Sam:
Oh, no, I'm not so keen on furniture, to be honest.

Sheila:
One can revive "flagging." One can not revive "I had a really good time."

Sheila:
This isn't going to work, is it? One day she'll find out, and the longer this goes on, the more she'll suffer. I know she's fond of you, but she's young. She can cope. She'll get over you.

Sam:
What, like you got over Bernie?

Sheila:
Take my word for it, just because you love someone doesn't mean you get them.

Kate:
[crying while speaking of her ex-boyfriend] It was really lovely, and I was in love with him, and now it's all messy. He did something really bad. I mean, he... he said he's sorry, but... how do I trust him now?

Vince:
I think you do it a little at a time.

Kate:
But it's not that easy.

Vince:
No. No, it's very difficult, but... the other way's even harder.
