Mike Leigh alkotása nálam a kedvenc film fogalmát teljességgel kimeríti. Imádom.

Johnny: Well, Brian, congratulations! You've succeeded in convincin' me that you do 'ave the most tedious fuckin' job in England.
Johnny: And what is it what goes on in this postmodern gas chamber?
Brian: Nothing. It's empty.
Johnny: So what is it you guard, then?
Brian: Space.
Johnny: You're guarding space? That's stupid, isn't it? Because someone could break in there and steal all the fuckin' space and you wouldn't know it's gone, would you?
Brian: Good point.

The scene: Louise's flat is part of a Victorian Neo-Gothic house. Early evening and Louise has just got in from work to find Johnny and Sophie on the sofa...

Louise: I can't believe you're 'ere.
Johnny: I'm not 'ere. I tell you what, it's a crackin' place you got love.
Louise: Good. I'm glad you like it.
Johnny: No, I was being sarcastic.
Louise: Why didn't you tell me you were comin'? I would a' met you off the train.
Johnny: I didn't come on the fuckin' train.
Louise: Off the bus then.
Johnny: I didn't come on the bus either.
Louise: So 'ow did you get 'ere then?
Johnny: Well, basically, there was this little dot, right? And the dot went bang and the bang expanded. Energy formed into matter, matter cooled, matter lived, the amoeba to fish, to fish to fowl, to fowl to frog, to frog to mammal, the mammal to monkey, to monkey to man, amo amas amat, quid pro quo, memento mori, ad infinitum, sprinkle on a little bit of grated cheese and leave under the grill till Doomsday.

Louise: Were you bored in Manchester?
Johnny: Was I bored? No I wasn't fuckin' bored. I'm never bored. That's the trouble with everybody - you're all so bored. You've 'ad nature explained to you and you're bored with it. You've 'ad the living body explained to you and you're bored with it. You've 'ad the universe explained to you and you're bored with it. So now you just want cheap thrills and like plenty of 'em and it dun't matter 'ow tawdry or vacuous they are as long as it's new, as long as it's new, as long as it flashes and fuckin' beeps in forty fuckin' different colours. Well whatever else you can say about me, I'm not fuckin' bored.
Louise: Yeah, all right.
Johnny: So, 'ow's it goin' for you?
Louise: It's a bit borin' actually.

Scene: Sophie's bedroom. Just she and Johnny are present.
Johnny: You know what frightens me about the human body?
Sophie: What?
Johnny: Well, it's like the, er, most sophisticated mechanism in the entire universe, and yet it's so fuckin' quiet, isn't it? Know what I mean?
Sophie: Dunno. Mine makes enough noise.

Sophie: What is a "proper relationship"?
Louise: Living with someone who talks to you after they banged you.
