Roger Bailey : [to Ben] What's up with you, Mr Grumpy Boots?
Alfie Butts : He's had a bit of a run-in with a cyclist who scratched his car.
Abi Harper : Oh, is the cyclist alright?
Ben Harper : Is the cyclist alright? Who cares?
Roger Bailey : Well, did you get a good look at him?
Ben Harper : No! But if I ever get my hands on him, I'd show him ways of using a bicycle pump he'd never imagined!

Ben Harper : Mikey, grab your camera! Nip down to photograph the damage that cyclist has inflicted on my car!

Alfie Butts : Told you!

Alfie Butts : If you're really that upset about the cyclist, then you should get on the phone to West London Talk Radio.
Ben Harper : What? Who?
Michael Harper : Oh, yeah! Call them, dad! WLTR love nutters!
Ben Harper : Yeah?
Alfie Butts : Mmhmm. And personally, I've always found your opinions very, very interesting. Bigoted, narrow minded, fascist, but interesting.
Ben Harper : I'm not bigoted, Alfie! I just want to make a point! A simple point that in a civilised society, there's no room for cyclists!
Michael Harper : Didn't you say that about doctors?

Alfie Butts : Mr Harper, I've got it on speed dial from when I was complaining.
Ben Harper : Right. What were you complaining about?

Michael Harper : Hi Alfie! Can't stop - couple of hot models waiting for me! They are hot, right?
Janey Harper : Oh...
[Impersonates sizzling sound on butt]
Janey Harper : Tsssssss!
Michael Harper : Fact: all supermodels marry photographers.
Alfie Butts : It's a mutually dependent work-based relationship, Michael. They never last.
Michael Harper : They're models, Alfie! 20 minutes will do me fine!

Alfie Butts : Look, erm, Mrs Harper, if it's OK with you I think I'll take some soup to the cyclists.
Ben Harper : Cyc...? You will... you will not feed those Lycra-clad vermin!
Richard : You don't like cyclists, Ben?
Ben Harper : Oh, love them - under the wheels of a juggernaut!
