Quotes 

• Louise : So what happened, 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 had nature explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the living body explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the universe explained to you and you're bored with it. So now you want cheap thrills and like plenty of them, and it don't matter how tawdry or vacuous they are as long as it's new, as long as it's new, as long as it flashes and fuckin' bleeps in forty fuckin' different colors. So whatever else you can say about me, I'm not fuckin' bored.

• Louise : What are you doing here? You look like shit.

  Johnny : I'm just tryin' to blend in with the surroundings.

• 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!

• 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.

• 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?

• Louise : What? You don't want me to cut off your prick and shove it up your ass?
