Quotes 

• Gary Sparrow : Can you please read a little more quietly - you're drowning out John Motson.

  Yvonne Sparrow : Well I'm sorry, Gary, but I think this is a little more important that the fate of Arsenal Football Club.

  Gary Sparrow : More important that the Arsenal! I didn't realize there was a meteor on collision course with the earth.

• [Gary is panicking because Yvonne has brought home a book containing a photograph of him with Noel Coward taken in 1945] 

  Ron Wheatcroft : That *will* be hard to explain when Yvonne sees it.

  Gary Sparrow : Lipstick on your collar is hard to explain. Calling out another woman's name in bed is hard to explain. Appearing in a photograph taken two decades before you were born is the Twilight Zone.

• [Ron is reading a book that describes new ways of meeting and impressing women] 

  Ron Wheatcroft : [reads from book]  "Chapter 12 - Prowling the Urban Jungle"

  Gary Sparrow : You're going on the pull in the Bronx?

  Ron Wheatcroft : No, Safeways?

  Gary Sparrow : Safeways is the urban jungle?

  Ron Wheatcroft : According to this book, supermarkets are the number one place to meet unattached women under forty. They're better than singles bars. Plus you can pick up a loaf.

  Gary Sparrow : Sound very romantic. "Where did you meet?" "Oh, at the cheese counter. Our eyes met across an ageing Gorgonzola and within a few minutes we'd exchanged loyalty card numbers."
