" They say music

is the food of love "

hungry enough "

" Take a bite, take another

"

" Just like a good boy would

"

" Get a sweet thing

on the side "

" Home cooking, homicide "

" Side order

Could be your daughter "

" Finger-licking good "

" Come on baby, eat the rich

"

" Put the bite on the

son of a b*tch "

" Don't mess up

Don't you give me no switch "

" Come on baby

and eat the rich "

" C'mon baby and eat the rich

"

" Sittin' here

in a hired tuxedo "

" You wanna see my

bacon torpedo "

"Mm..."

"Hm..."

"Mm..."

"Their nipples

were must too small!"

"Anyway, I got the two Scottish

castles,"

"I've got the Greek island,

and I've got 15 Maseratis,"

"all classics, of course. So I suppose

you could say I'm stinking rich."

"Excuse me. The baby panda,

is it fried in honey?"

"Of course, ma'am."

"Oh, no."

"Very good. I mean,

where else can you eat"

"for 200 pounds a head?"

"You're very beautiful."

"There you go."

"Tasty bit of service, that."

"Come on, fatty, hurry up."

"I'm awfully sorry."

"Told you it was good.

Anyway, we're in a bad lunch."

"Look, Derek, forget funk rap.

It's dead."

"The kids are getting hooked

on socialism."

"And Terry's got it real bad

next year."

"OK. Let's sack the blacks

and sign the reds."

"Oi! Where's my f***ing tip?!"

"Excuse me."

"Out of the way, please.

Come on. Move."

"Out of the way."

"Excuse me. Out of the way, please.

Come on."

"Move. Move it, cow."

"Move."

"Bastard!"

"Be more polite to the customers,

Alex, or you're fired."

"Shut your face."

"I'm gonna give you one more

chance."

"I want to tell you that we're all

pretty tired of your attitude."

"I mean, why can't you be more

like Mark?"

"He is aggressive, yes."

"But at least he's mysterious

about it."

" I was born

to rock and roll "

" I was built "

" For speed "

" La la la "

" La la la la "

" La la la "

" La la "

"Oh, Janice."

"Yes, Commander Fortune?"

"If the CIA calls,"

"just say I've popped out

to..."

"buy some socks."

"Very well, Commander Fortune."

"Have you seen who's

on table eight?"

"- Who?

- John Steenbeck. The movie director."

"Not the John Steenbeck,

who made Interesting Teenagers?"

"That, over there.

The good-looking one."

"My name's Steenbeck.

John Steenbeck."

"I'm casting a major motion

picture in this country."

"We're looking for someone to play the part

of the good-looking young psychopath."

"I hear you're an actor,

is that right?"

"Uh... what do you mean,

actor?"

"Somebody who walks and talks the way

I want. Then I photograph them."

"Well, uh, I walk and I talk"

"any damn way I choose."

"Excuse me.

Are you ready to order?"

"What I really find most interesting

is he's got that sort of face"

"where you're not quite sure

what he's gonna do next."

"- It's most unnerving.

- Oh, he's wonderful!"

"Listen, honey. If you're looking for

new, young, violent faces in the cinema,"

"then I think you'd better look at mine

because I'm up to here in social grievances."

"Look, love, I'm sorry, but you're

just not what we're looking for."

"Oh, no! This is the man we're

interested in! This one is the pits!"

"Oh, but I can be ever so

unnerving. Look!"

"You've carried yourself

once too often, Alex."

"- You're fired!"

"Bye!"

"Phase four."

"It's all good stuff."

"- Suicide mission, is it?

- Yes."

"So I, um, shan't be seeing

you again then."

"No."

"All right."

"Yes. I've got no money,

and nowhere to live."

"But at least I've still got

all my friends."

"Oh, really?"

"Well, couldn't I sleep in that

little cupboard under the stairs?"

"Oh, really? Yes, well,

I've always hated you too."

"Drop dead, fuckface!"

"Gerry!"

"We're gonna check out

the scene here."

"- Stick around.

- Gerry! Hey, Gerry! My best friend!"

"Hi, Alex."

"- Can I come in with you?

- What's the matter? You broke?"

"Oh, yeah. I lost my job

and got no money"

"and I'm totally homeless."

"Sh*t. What a drag."

"- Yeah.

- Well, it's really nice to see you, Alex."

"- Hey, Alex.

- Yeah?"

"You wanna get indoors.

You'll get soaked out here."

"They're on their way."

"Good evening.

This is the BBC."

"Now a political broadcast from the new

Home Secretary, Nosher Powell MP."

"Oi! Sh! He's on!"

"- Evening, voters."

"Some people in this country

are very, very rich."

"But most of you

are very, very poor."

"You know why?!"

"Because you're all lazy

vultures!"

"Yeah!

Your country needs money!"

"And you can't get

enough money!"

"So I tell you what

we're gonna do!"

"We're gonna close more

hospitals"

"and we're gonna build

more rockets!"

"Boo!"

"Excuse me. Could you spare us a

bit of your paper to sleep under?"

"No, f*** off!"

"Oh, go on. Just the sports

page."

"All right."

"Excuse me, we're from Ethiopia.

Got price of a cup of tea?"

"Take this, commoners. We

oppressed should stick together."

"Stand back.

Stand back."

"It's now exactly two hours and 40 minutes

since the police sealed off this street"

"which leads to the embassy."

"And we've just heard that the Home Secretary

himself is on his way to supervise the siege."

"We are not your enemy!"

"We have suffered too long!"

"All we want is just our freedom

and rights in our own country!"

"- Yeah!

- Rise up and kill your oppressor!"

"- Freedom of the oppressed!

- Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

"Oi, Sambo,

move out the way!"

"- What's going on here?

- I'm afraid it's something of a waiting game,"

"- Home Secretary.

- Don't give me that bollocks."

"Oi! Sinbad! You see that?"

"I'll put that...

soon as you come down!"

"Here, hold that.

I'm going in."

"- Excuse me.

- Oh, it's all right. I'm with him."

"Oh, of course. Sorry."

"Nosh!"

"Nosh!"

"Nosh! Nosh!"

" You know the rules

You all know the game "

" Try to do what's right "

" And I swear

I can't complain "

"- Nosh!

- If I die tonight "

"- But I don't think it's in the stars

- Nosh!"

"- Nosh!

- What?"

"Look!"

"Go on, then! Jump!"

"Who's storming this place?

You or me?"

"Well, keep your mouth shut!

Right!"

"- History.

- Who stormed the Iranian Embassy in 1984?"

"Oh!"

" See me running

all around the world "

"- Trying to make some time "

"Back and forth!"

"You don't mean the Israeli

ambassador, surely?"

"Come out!"

"Both of you!"

"- Now, what's it all about?

- He started it."

"- Shut up! You!

- They took our country!"

"- It was ours first.

- No, it wasn't."

"- Was.

- Wasn't!"

"Shut up!"

"Now, I don't care

whose fault it is."

"I just don't want no more

interruptions, got it?"

"Now, you give him back

his country."

"And you, smart yourself out."

"Well, he's done it.

It's absolutely incredible."

"Singlehandedly, this man has tackled

the Middle East crisis head on."

"They said it couldn't be done,

and he's done it."

"I don't think we need to wait for the

public opinion polls to know that"

"today's piece of work won't bring any

harm at all for the next election."

"Fascist bully!"
