                              JIM: Stencil my arse. He would, there's nothing he'd like better than
                              to stencil my arse.
                              BARBARA: I wish he would. That'd keep you quiet.

                            BARBARA: Do you know who your dad reminds me of in
                              The Simpsons?
                              DENISE: Who?

                              BARBARA: Ooh, look at his face. He doesn't like it when we laugh
                              at him, does he?
                              JIM: They're laughing at you, you dopey bugger. It's not homo, it's
                            Homer.

                              ANTONY: Well nowt, he's just gonna be dancing on stage, y'know,
                              like Bez out of the Happy Mondays - for a gimmick thing.
                              DAVE: What're you having that for? You don't want Lewis at the
                              side of the stage just arsing about, do you?

                            BARBARA: Ooh, isn't it awful - when you weigh up? Was she a
                              young girl, Dave?
                              DAVE: Oh yeah. She was a model.
                              BARBARA: Was she? What was it called?
                              DAVE: Tattoo.
                              JIM(impersonating Tattoo from Fantasy Island):"Hey boss, the plane."
                              BARBARA: Oh, was he in it? That little dwarfy one?

                              JIM(on Norma): Today, she had a family size bag of bloody Revels
                              and did she offer me one? Did she shite. She sat there on her big fat
                              arse announcing every one that she put in her big fat gob.
                              "Oh, coconut! Oh, orange! Oh Malt-bloody-teaser..."
                              BARBARA: Oh, is that it then? We can't look after my own mother
                            because she wouldn't share a bag of Revels? Grow up Jim.
                       
                              JIM(mumbles): "Ooh, caramel, I think! No, wait, not caramel, coffee!
                              Coffee one, that was..." Greedy old cow...

Magic Moments:  BARBARA: Poor Antony, got no confidence - Jim's knocked it all
                              out of him, calling him a lanky streak of piss all the time.
                              DENISE: Well, well he has got a point there.

                              JIM: Tell you what, Dave, you should have seen her before. She's
                              gone too far this time.
                              DAVE: Why?
                              JIM: Bang. She just switched the bloody telly off.
                            DAVE: No need for that.

                              DAVE(as Roy Walker): "Say what you see, if you see it, say it. Say
                              what you see, if you see it, say it. Say what you see, if you see it, say it"

                              DENISE: Dave, stop it.
                              DAVE: I'm only saying what I see.
                              DENISE: But you're not seeing it, so stop saying it.
