Quotes
-
Nick Harper : I'm having the weirdest dream. Dad's kissing a Beatle.
Janey Harper : Couldn't you just say "Good Morning" like a normal person?
Nick Harper : I think it's Ringo.
Janey Harper : Obviously not.
Nick Harper : Think I'll just get back to bed and wake up.
Janey Harper : Earth to idiot, you're not dreaming.
Nick Harper : Oh right. And if I was awake, would I be able to do this?
[jabs fork into arm]
Nick Harper : [long pause] I'm awake, aren't I.
-
Stephanie : I don't know why I'm so attracted to you.
Nick Harper : Ah, there must be a million reasons.
Stephanie : No. There's something in your eyes that says...
Nick Harper : Amore?
Stephanie : Danger.
Nick Harper : Yeah, I get that a lot.
Stephanie : I've always been drawn to danger. That's why I got into this job.
Nick Harper : I've always liked danger too. That's why I got into... whatever it is I'm going to get into.
Stephanie : Can I ask you something?
Nick Harper : Once. But I didn't inhale.
Stephanie : Why has your mum got this urge to confess?
Nick Harper : Mum thinks she talked him to death, and Janey thinks it was the food.
Stephanie : And what do you think?
Nick Harper : I think you're not wearing a bra.

[Nick jumps on the sofa and the others rate him]
Michael Harper : I'll give it an 8.5.
Janey Harper : Ah, I seem more like a 3.
Nick Harper : A 3? I'm a perfect performer! My extension was flawless!
Janey Harper : Yeah, but you get a five-point deduction - mum saw you!
-
Susan : Nick!
Nick Harper : [Tries to run from Susan, but fails] Love to help, mum. But I've got this fake limp.
Susan : Fake limp?
Nick Harper : I'm sorry. I'm a really bad liar, so why waste our time?
Susan : Get £20 from my purse and take Janey and Michael out for dinner.
Nick Harper : £20? Do you think £20 will do it?
Susan : Alright, £30.
Nick Harper : Ah, only £30? Do I have to remind you of my fake disability?
Susan : £40!
Ben : [from the other room] £50 if you leave now!
Susan : Aaah! Another week's work done!
-
Susan : Don't take Michael out to a pub.
Nick Harper : Oh, come on, mum! I know better than to do something like that!
Ben : What? The last time, you tried to pass him off as a midget!
-
Nick Harper : How did you get home?
Michael Harper : Like you care.
Nick Harper : I don't. I'm just curious!
-
Ben : Erm... Susan, erm... Scott has, erm... moved on.
Susan : Oh, don't be silly, Ben! He wouldn't have left without saying goodbye!
Ben : Ah, er... he might!
Susan : Why send a boy to do a man's job? Michael, go and wake him.
Ben : No! I don't... I don't want anyone up there, OK?
Susan : Ben, what's going on?
Ben : He's, erm... H-h-h-he's... he's...
Nick Harper : Superman!
Ben : He's... he's... Oh, for God's sake - he's dead!
Susan : WHAT?
Nick Harper : OK, scratch Superman!
Ben : Yeah!
Susan : Oh, my God!
Ben : I just... I didn't want to tell you in front of the kids.
Michael Harper : There's a dead body, here?
Janey Harper : That's so awful and sad.
Susan : Where are you going?
Janey Harper : [Excited] Well, I have to tell my friends!
-
Nick Harper : I've advised my client not to talk without her lawyer present.
Inspector : Who are you?
Nick Harper : Her lawyer!
Inspector : Oh, I see! So she can talk now?
Nick Harper : I've also advised her not to talk when I'm present!
Susan : H-he's my son.
Inspector : I never would have guessed!
-
Nick Harper : [Shows off a female cop's phone number] Her name's Stephanie!
Janey Harper : What, you actually got her number? Er, what did you say to her?
Nick Harper : Told her I had a bomb in my trousers!
Janey Harper : That's pathetic!
Nick Harper : Yeah, but it worked!
