• Linda Barnes : I don't like that guy.

  Matthew Barnes : Who, Fuller? He's just French. I'm sure normally he's a nice guy.

  Linda Barnes : Yeah, I'm sure he's a saint.

• Matthew Barnes : [on the phone]  Mother. We are fine!

  Linda Barnes : No! No! You cannot use the word "fine" until we get you a dictionary and you learn the meaning of "fine" 'cause you confuse it with the word "fucked." We are "fucked" my friend. Not "fine." Fucked.

• Linda Barnes : What did he say?

  Matthew Barnes : What did he say? He said your brother is a loser and a stoner.

• Linda Barnes : I've gotta ask you a question, and it's a simple question so don't get angry. Why would you come to another country with so little cash?

  Matthew Barnes : Why? A, Because the cash I do have doesn't work in this bizarro country, Ok? And B, because I was given information by a psycho asshole who basically said he was going to pick me up and ferret my dizzy ass around London. So I didn't need any cash. That's why. How about you, Travel dot com? What's your excuse? How come don't have any cash on you?

  Linda Barnes : Oh my God! What did I say before we left the house? I said Hey Mat, should I go to the bank and get some cash? And you said no, we won't need any cash because I've got a psycho asshole who's going to ferret my dizzy ass all around London. We don't need cash.

  Matthew Barnes : Ok. Fine. You said that. Ok.

• Linda Barnes : Why didn't you just say it was John Gissing? Because you don't want to look bad?

  Matthew Barnes : Honey, the man just got a toilet's eye view of my ass, how much worse could I look?
