Quotes
-
Mark Corrigan : [has just shot down a pheasant] I got it! I got one, I got one!
Jeremy Usborne : [unimpressed] Congratulations. You've killed a sentient being.
Ian Chapman : Well done, Mark. But you only winged it.
[the pheasant is lying on the ground, twitching]
Mark Corrigan : Oh, is that not...?
Ian Chapman : No, you've got to finish it off.
Mark Corrigan : Oh, right.
[he points his shotgun at it]
Ian Chapman : No, don't shoot it! God!
Mark Corrigan : [raising his foot above it] What, shall I?
Ian Chapman : Don't stamp on it! Jesus. Wring its neck.
Mark Corrigan : Its neck?
Ian Chapman : Yes, wring its neck, it's suffering.
Mark Corrigan : [voiceover] This is the ultimate good impression test. If I can do this, I'll never have to carve a chicken or discuss spark plugs or prove I love his daughter.
[he picks up the pheasant]
Ian Chapman : Now, be careful you don't...
[Mark accidentally wrenches the bird's head off. Blood spurts out]
Ian Chapman : Oh, Mark. You've pulled its bloody head off.
Mark Corrigan : [horrified] There's blood all over me!
[Sophie appears with a bag]
Sophie Chapman : Teas, coffees for the huntsmen!
Jeremy Usborne : No teas for the beastmaster, thanks. He feasts on the blood of his prey.

Sophie Chapman : [picking out a T-shirt with Mao Tze-tung on it] What about this?
Mark Corrigan : You do know who that is, don't you?
Sophie Chapman : Yeah, it's Chairman Mao, isn't it?
Mark Corrigan : Exactly, the man was responsible for the deaths of 60 million people. I don't want him on my chest.
Sophie Chapman : 60 million, that's more than Stalin, isn't it?
Mark Corrigan : It's not a competition, Soph. Although if it was, Mao would probably win.

Penny Chapman : You look different from your photo, is the beard new?
Sophie Chapman : I thought it would give him a bit of edge. And we're thinking of going short with the hair soon, too.
Penny Chapman : Makes you look handsome, like a policeman.
Mark Corrigan : Oh, thank you. You're obviously very attractive too.
[voiceover]
Mark Corrigan : Ugh, what next? Am I gonna tell her she's got lovely tits?

Ian Chapman : [handing Mark a pint of beer] There you go. It's got a bit of a head on, but I'm sure you'll see to that in a hurry.
Sophie Chapman : Oh Dad, don't go on about it. It was horrible.
