- Rod: [over the intercom] Jo! I wouldn't say no to another cup of coffee. Oh, and maybe you could get me one of those doughnuts from the canteen, a chocky-chocolate one, please. But try to get one with less chocolate if you can; Sheila's got me on another diet. She says I've got to lose half a stone. Oh, and you'll need to move all my meetings this afternoon; I've got an appointment with Mr Henman at two o'clock. I think he might go on a bit. There's only four meetings to change, though; well, you can ring round after you've brought me my doughnut.

- Mark Spenser: Is Rod free?
- Jo: No, you just missed him. He's with the MD.
- Mark Spenser: Is he now? So he's not in his office, then?
- Jo: No.
- Mark Spenser: Like he was with Mr. Godwin.
- Jo: Oh, see for yourself if you don't believe me.
- [opens the office door, showing Rob seated at his desk]
- Jo: There you are. See. He's not there.
- Simon: I don't know where you got this idea about me and bosses. I've worked for five women, and Max is only the third I've slept with.
- Cheryl: Here you go, Mr Battle. Here's your drink.
- [hands him a glass of milk]
- Rod: Mm. Thank you. What is this?
- Cheryl: What you asked for: milk and one sugar.
- Rod: Ye-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-s, but in a coffee.
- Cheryl: You didn't ask for it in a coffee. I said was making myself a coffee, what would you like? and you said milk and one sugar.
- Rod: Yes, but only...
- Cheryl: Oh, I'm happy to make you a coffee is that's what you'd like, Mr Battle, but you really should have said that's what you wanted.
- Rod: No no no no no, just just just, you know, don't bother.
- Cheryl: Don't worry, I'll soon get used to all your little ways.
