- Bernard: [to Fran] You! What have you been telling Kate? She thinks I'm the renaissance. I have to go along with all this "reclusive genius" stuff... she's going to be very upset when she finds out I'm a reclusive wanker.
- Manny: I want the weekend off. I want a life.
- Bernard: This is life! We suffer and slave and expire. That's it!
- Manny: We have needs! Fran wants to learn the piano, I want some time to myself, you want to go out with a girl...
- Bernard: Don't make me laugh... bitterly. Fran will fail, you'll toil your life away, and I'll die alone, upside down on the floor of a pub toilet.
- Manny: I wanted to learn piano, but my parents forced me not to. I was out there, playing football on my own, looking in the windows at my friends all practising piano...
- Bernard: You. What did you say to Kate? She thinks I'm the renaissance. She'll think I've lied, I had to go along with all this reclusive genius stuff. She'll be really upset when she finds out I'm a reclusive wanker.
- Fran: Manny! Don't. Josef is coming, he'll squeeze my face again, my brains will come out of my nose and I'll die.
