Quotes 

• Harry Mitchell : Your grandmother said that to me once. 'The greatest explorers', she said, 'are the explorers of the human heart'.

  Jeff Mitchell : Is that why she became a dyke?

  Harry Mitchell : Your grandmother was not a dyke!

  Jeff Mitchell : She was licking Aunt Mary's pussy for forty years, what else do you call it?

  Harry Mitchell : She was not a dyke! A lesbian, perhaps... You shouldn't call her names! How would you like it if I went around and called you 'pansy', 'fairy', 'poofter'?

  Jeff Mitchell : You do half the time!

  Harry Mitchell : Only when I'm annoyed with you!

• Harry : Why don't you get the young fella another whiskey, Jeff?

  Greg : No, no really, I'm a two pot screamer.

  Jeff Mitchell : I'm a bit like that myself, two and I'm anybody's.

  Greg : Three and I'm everybody's.

  Harry : Four and I'm nobody's.

• Greg : I wouldn't say no to a drop of scotch. You know what they say, 'whiskey makes you frisky.'

  Jeff Mitchell : Yeah, 'brandy makes you randy.'

  Harry Mitchell : Heh, pity we haven't got any rum!

• Harry Mitchell : I'm tired of living in sin with my own right hand.

• Harry Mitchell : [about Jeff]  He won't be meeting any girls tonight. He's what you'd call... *cheerful*. Can't bear that other word.

• Jeff Mitchell : Of course, some people think it isn't very good manners to read at the dinner table.

  Harry Mitchell : Some people hasn't lived with you for twenty-odd years.

  Jeff Mitchell : Some people should be so bloody lucky.
