Quotes 

• Cop663 : You like noisy music?

  Faye : Yes. The louder the better. Stops me from thinking.

  Cop663 : You don't like to think? What do you like?

  Faye : Never thought about it.

• Cop663 : Would you let a person on board with a boarding pass like this? It's dated today, but it got blurred in the rain. I don't know where it's taking me. Do you?

  Faye : No idea, but I'll give you another.

  Cop663 : Great.

  Faye : Where do you want to go?

  Cop663 : Wherever you want to take me.

• Cop663 : Since she left, everything in the flat is sad. Everything needed lulling to sleep.

  [to a bar of soap] 

  Cop663 : You've lost a lot of weight, you know. You used to be so chubby. Have more confidence in yourself.

  [to a threadbare wet dishcloth] 

  Cop663 : You have to stop crying, you know. Where's your strength and absorbency? You're so shabby these days.

• [663 finds his apartment is flooded] 

  Cop663 : Did I leave the tap running, or is the apartment getting more tearful? I always thought it would cope okay. Didn't expect it to cry so much. When people cry, they can dry their eyes with tissues. But when an apartment cries, it takes a lot to mop it up.

• Cop663 : [to new bar of soap]  You mustn't let yourself go. You've gained weight so fast. She may have gone but life goes on. You must stop indulging yourself.

  Cop663 : [to new towel]  You're a real disappointment to me. You've changed so much. You can't just switch personality like this. Her walking out is no excuse.

  Cop663 : [as it drips]  It was such a relief when I saw it crying. It may look different, but it's still true to itself. It's still an emotionally charged towel.

• [633 confronts an intruder] 

  Cop663 : What are you doing in my apartment?

  Faye : You asked me to visit.

• [633 after Faye fails to meet him at the California restaurant in Hong Kong] 

  Cop663 : Actually, she did go to California that evening. But it was the other one.

• Cop663 : I thought we'd stay together for the long haul, flying like a jumbo jet on a full tank. But we changed course.

• [633 on the previous owner of his restaurant] 

  Cop663 : He has great business sense. First he sold me fish and chips, then the whole thing.

• Cop663 : On board every flight, there's one stewardess you long to seduce.

• Cop663 : [to a shirt]  Lonely? You look like a mess. Cold? I'll warm you up.

  [irons it]
