- Ingrid: What would you now be doing if you were now in London?
- Wayne: As it's Friday, I'd probably be working. Or on the dole.
- Ingrid: What is that?
- Wayne: It's the unemployment. We're very big on that in England, it's one of our few spectacular successes. We've managed to put more people out of work than any of our European counterparts.
- Wayne Norris (Holton,Gary): You don't trust me, do you? You just go and look but I'll tell you what, I'm shipping out mates. I'd rather bed in with the Turks than stay with you lot.
- Wayne Norris: If I'd know I was gonna be put in here with you lot, I'd have taken a bloody language course. Gone to that place in Oxford Street you know, The Berlitz School, taking elementary Geordie for beginners.
- Oz Osborne: Hey, Ayatollah, that's alright, sling yer hook, get out.
- Bomber Busbridge: Look at these cards, I must have killed a Chinaman.
- Neville Hope: A lot of Geordie derives from Denmark, Scandinavia. Cos o' the Vikings, see, they come over our way first.
- Oz Osborne: Well they still do don't they, to shop at Marks & Sparks!
- Herr Ulrich: Ja?
- Dennis Patterson: Just checking, Herr Ulrich, the lads were wondering what the possibility is of resuming work.
- Herr Ulrich: Very small. The forecast is continual rain.
- Dennis Patterson: Oh. Well uh, we don't mind working the weekend you know, to make up for it.
- Herr Ulrich: No, it's not popular with the German workers.
- Dennis Patterson: Well can I just clarify one thing, I mean uh, we still get paid don't we? I mean, the weather, that's not down to us is it?
- Herr Ulrich: Oh the weather is very English, I think.
- Dennis Patterson: Yeah but we still get paid in England.
- Herr Ulrich: Ja, but in Germany you are self employed. No work, no pay.
- Dennis Patterson: Well when I read the contract it didn't read like that to me.
- Herr Ulrich: No? Please, read the small print.
