Quotes 

• John Gissing : I've had two wives, three children, each with a corner of their hearts that I'm not allowed to visit.

• John Gissing : The fact is, you'll be me before you know it. One day, not too far down the road, they'll suddenly call up your number and hand it to someone else. And when that day comes, I promise you this, you won't be there to pick the little fucker up at the airport.

• John Gissing : Are they in Hannigan's office? Gwyneth and Fuller and that lot?

  Matthew Barnes : Yeah. Hannigan's office, yeah.

  John Gissing : And Fuller's office is empty?

  Matthew Barnes : Yeah.

  John Gissing : Good, because I have to go and urinate in that chair of his.

  Matthew Barnes : Good. Ok, you do that.

• Matthew Barnes : You know what's a word we don't use a lot, and it's a shame because it's a good word. Buggered.

  John Gissing : Really? You don't use that word?

  Matthew Barnes : Never caught on with the Americans. Too bad, cause it's a good word, a good multipurpose word. You guys use it to describe sex, right?

  John Gissing : One particular variation, yes.

  Matthew Barnes : And for getting screwed over? Like in this case here it would be correct for me to say John, you really buggered me.
