"My Family" All Roads Lead to Ramon (TV Episode 2001) - Gabriel Thomson as Michael Harper

Susan : Hello, Nick. How was your day?

Nick : Ah, the usual. Got up. Went to work. Got sacked.

Susan : But you seem depressed.

Nick : I know. I got sacked.

Susan : You weren't depressed the last time you got sacked.

Nick : Yeah, but that was yesterday. That's two days in a row I've been sacked. People will start thinking I'm some sort of useless layabout.

Ben : Why hasn't that useless layabout got a job yet?

Michael Harper : That *is* his job!
Ben : Right. Anyone else want me to perform an unpleasant task? Nick, want me to sign on the dole for you?

Nick : Oh, would you, dad?

Michael Harper : Would you rub cream on my rash?
Janey Harper : Mike, what do you know about economics?

Michael Harper : Supply and demand. If you have information you want, you have to give me money.

Janey Harper : Ugh! Why is everyone making it so hard to get a simple education?

Michael Harper : Why do you want to go to university, anyway?

Janey Harper : It's the only way out of this house without getting a job.

Michael Harper : There's prison.

Janey Harper : There's death!

Michael Harper : Look, it just doesn't make sense - you at a university. I mean, have you even thought about which one you want to go to?

Janey Harper : [Scoffs] Of course I have! I'm not an airhead!

[pause]

Janey Harper : What's the one with all the clubs?

Gabriel Thomson: Michael Harper
