Quotes 

  • [about to surrender to the burglars] 

    Richie : No no, they might beat us up.

    Eddie : What and cut our bodies into a thousand different pieces?

    Richie : And skin us alive.

    Eddie : And then... put on our skins.

    Richie : And do foul depraved love-making to our still twitching corpses.

    Eddie : And eat our livers.

    Richie : And drink our blood! And play cricket with our hearts!

    Eddie : Yeah... using our love truncheons as wickets!

    Richie : And then do weird sort of pagan dancing flapping our skins about the room, and smearing naked girlies' breasts with our throbbing disintegrating brains!

    Eddie : [pause]  It's not much of an option really, is it?

  • Eddie : [Interrogating the burglar]  So... you see Emmerdale Farm last night?

    Richie : Eddie, Eddie, a word.

    Eddie : Excuse me.

    [Goes over to Richie] 

    Richie : It's the wrong line of questioning.

    Eddie : What, you think he's more of a Brookside kind of man?

    Richie : No! God, you're an embarrassment! You're a real embarrassment! Here I'm trying make us look really hard and cool. And you're making us look like a couple ridiculous, git-faced, scaredy-cat turnips!

    Eddie : But that's what we are!

  • Richie : [Eddie has come late and very drunk]  What time do you call this?

    Eddie : [Checks his watch wrapped round his shin]  Er... half past one.

    Richie : Where have you been?

    Eddie : I've been to a car-swapping party.

    Richie : A car swapping party?

    Eddie : Yeah, it's great. All the men stand in a circle and throw their wives in the middle. Then you pick the one you want and she escorts you to your car.

    Richie : But Eddie, you're not married.

    Eddie : I know that's why I come home on the bus.It's parked outside.

  • Richie : [the boys want to take off with the burglar's loot, but realize he's still held in the flat]  We'll have to get rid of him somehow.

    Eddie : Well, no-one knows he's here. We could kill him.

    Richie : [Shocked reactions from Richie and burglar]  Excuse us a moment, Eddie , a word?

    [Takes Eddie into the kitchen and draws the curtain] 

    Richie : What did you just say?

    Eddie : Well, he's outside the law isn't he? I mean, he made the decision.

    Richie : Eddie, are you seriously suggesting we kill this poor, defenseless burglar without any trial or anything, just we can live the high life in the Bahamas?

    Eddie : Yep.

    Richie : It's a bloody good idea! How should we do it? I mean, how will you do it?

    Eddie : Well, I think we should give him the old fish fingers. They've been in there for months, they're absolutely lethal.

    Richie : No, no good, we had them last Thursday.

    Eddie : Did we? I wondered why I lost three stone last week.

    Richie : Oh, that was you was it, I've been trying to flush that thing for three days!

  • Richie : [the boys wake up tied to chairs, in their underwear]  Eddie, what's happening? Where have all my clothes gone? This is outrageous! You can see my underpants!

    [Noticing mousetraps at their groins] 

    Richie : Where have these mousetraps come from? Eddie, stay still, don't move a muscle!

    Eddie : Hang on, there's a little note sellotaped to my knee.

    Richie : What does it say?

    Eddie : Errr... Sue Carpenter.

    [They growl lecherously] 

    Richie : [Realizing]  Oh no!

    [the traps shut on them] 

  • Richie : Eddie, how did you get this drunk on £1.75?

    Eddie : There's a sale on at the chemists.

    Richie : What do you mean?

    Eddie : Old Spice. 25p a bottle.

    [He preps a punch for Richie, swipes in the wrong direction and collapses] 

    Eddie : Where'd the floor go?

    Richie : Oh lordy, lordy, every single night. Still, I shouldn't complain, he's only ever been drunk once. Trouble is it's lasted seventeen years, so far.

  • Richie : I think there's someone in the drawing room.

    Eddie : The what room?

    Richie : The drawing room!

    Eddie : I don't think I've been in there. What, you mean we've got a room just for drawing in?

    Richie : God, you're so common, aren't you? What do you call it, the snug or the saloon or something?

    Eddie : Oh, the lounge!

    Richie : Yes, that's it, the lounge! There's someone down in the lounge!

    Eddie : Right, that's that sorted out then. I'm off back to bed.

    Richie : [Stopping Eddie]  No, Eddie, no!

    [More noises from downstairs] 

    Richie : Oh my god! What are we gonna do?

    Eddie : What about?

    Richie : The burglars!

    Eddie : You mean we've got burglars, downstairs, in the sketching room?

  • Richie : [Interrogating the burglar]  Alright. Alright, buster, I want some answers and I want 'em damn quick. But obviously not so fast so that I can't understand what you're saying, okay?

    Eddie : Richie.

    [Richie goes over to Eddie] 

    Eddie : Shall I make him sweat, chief?

    Richie : How do you mean?

    Eddie : You know, stick an overcoat on him, bung a hot water bottle down his trousers.

    Richie : No, Eddie, that's not the way, we gotta break him psychologically. Watch this.

    [He goes over to the burglar and doesn't know what to say, he returns to Eddie's side] 

    Richie : Damn, damn! What do you actually have to say?

    Eddie : Oh no, you don't say anything, you just slap 'em about a bit.

    Richie : Oh good, right, hey, did you train for this sort of work?

    Eddie : No, but my uncle used to work in a prison.

    Richie : Oh, what did he do?

    Eddie : Oh, peeled potatoes, sowed mailbags, anything they told him to really.

    Richie : Right, good, slap him about a bit. Hey, do I look good? Cause I feel great!

  • Eddie : [Jones clears his throat near Eddie]  Good evening, Officer.

    P.C.V. Jones : Are you alright, sir? You seem to have a pencil up your nose.

    Eddie : Oh yes, I've been sleep doodling. I'm very bad at it.

    P.C.V. Jones : You realize this paper's upside down, sir?

    Eddie : So are my eyes.

    [Moves eyeballs] 

    P.C.V. Jones : Hmmm.

    [Looks out of conservatory window, where the second burglar leans back out of sight. Jones goes back in] 

    P.C.V. Jones : Did you buy this conservatory in Beirut, sir?

    Richie : Oh great heavens, Eddie! We've been sleep glazing again!

    Eddie : Oh bugger!

  • Eddie : God, it's always the same with you, isn't it? We come up against a problem and what do you do, you find a simple, sensible solution and everything's okey-dokey. I get one little chance in my whole lifetime to look a bit sexy! To look a bit like Clint Eastwood! By the way, I don't want to be called Eddie anymore, I wanna be called, Dirty Eddie. So out of the way, punk, while a shoot off the lock!

    Richie : Look, Eddie, do you want to be skinned alive and buggered?

    Eddie : [Draws his gun at him]  I'd like to see you try!

    Richie : I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about the burglars. You fire that gun, they'll hear you. Come on, we'll just take the key and unlock the door.

    [Steps on nothing] 

    Richie : Where's the ladder gone?

    Eddie : The police confiscated it remember? When the nurses moved in next door.

  • Eddie : What about... sellotape?

    Richie : Do it to him, Eddie!

    [Eddie begins to wrap the burglar in sellotape] 

  • Richie : OK Eddie, take over. Break the mother!

    Eddie : What, has his mum turned up?

    Richie : No no no, question him.
