Quotes 

• Johnny : Have you ever thought, right, but you don't know, but you may have already lived the happiest day in your whole fuckin' life and all you have left to look forward to is fuckin' sickness and purgatory?

  Sophie : Oh, shit. I just live from day to day.

  Johnny : I tend to skip a day now and again, if you know what I mean.

• Louise : How did you get here?

  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.

  Sophie : [laughs]  This guy's a fucking genius!

• Sophie : I don't know what they want from you half the time. What they start off liking you for, they end up hating you for. Don't like you if you're strong. Don't like you if you're weak. Hate you if you're clever, hate you if you're stupid. They don't know what they want.

• Louise : Well, I don't know if I want to get married, but I wouldn't say no to a proper relationship.

  Sophie : What is a proper relationship?

  Louise : Living with someone who talks to you after they've boinked you.

• 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.

  Johnny : It's like this, er, wet, pink factory. What the fuck are they makin' in there? I mean, what's the product? You never see no delivery trucks comin' and goin', do you?

• Louise : Sometimes I wish I was back in Manchester.

  Sophie : What for?

  Louise : People talk to you.

  Sophie : I talk to you.

  Louise : Yeah, but you talk a pile of shit.

• Jeremy : Hope I haven't given you AIDS, Sophie.

  Louise : Jesus Christ.

  Sophie : Are you serious?

  Jeremy : I was merely jesting.

  Louise : Very funny.

  Jeremy : I think AIDS is rather healthy in its way.

  Louise : You what?

  Jeremy : I realise that's not the fashionable thing to say, of course.

  Louise : No, it's not.

  Jeremy : But the world is over crowded, isn't it? It does need a little pruning.

  Sophie : You fuckin' better be joking?

• Sophie : You shouldn't stick anything up your cunt that you can't put in your mouth.

• Jeremy : You're very beautiful, aren't you?

  Sophie : Am I?

  Jeremy : In a quirky sort of way.

• Johnny : [indicating a poster of the skeletal system]  What's all this about?

  Sophie : Oh, yeah, that's Sandra, that is.

  Johnny : [addressing the poster]  Hello, Sandra.

• Jeremy : Was your tattoo painful?

  Sophie : Yeah.

  Jeremy : Good.

• Johnny : [indicating a boomerang]  I see your boomerang came back, then, love.

  Sophie : It's not my fucking boomerang.
