Dexter : I hope all your children have very small dicks! And that includes the girls!
-
Ron Anderson : Listen, Dexter, is there something troubling you? Something that you would like to talk to someone about?
Dexter : Well, yes, as a matter of fact there is...
Ron Anderson : Then for fuck's sake talk to someone about it, will you? And sort it out before I sack you and hire a lobotomized monkey to play your role. Okay?

[Dexter is visiting Kate in her flat]
Kate : Sorry about last night, I was very tired.

Dexter : I'm not tired either.
Kate : Great! Two people... on their own... in the middle of the afternoon... and not tired!
[pause]
Dexter : Ideal circumstances for Scrabble.

Ron Anderson : You're both sacked. I give you a week's notice.
Dexter : You can't do that! I demand to talk to the producer.
Ron Anderson : I am the producer.
Dexter : In that case, you can do that but I'm not going to give you the satisfaction of sacking me because I resign!
Ron Anderson : Fine, then you get no severance pay and I sue your arse for breach of contract.
Dexter : In that case I don't resign, you total and utter bastard!
Ron Anderson : [slams the door in Dexter's face]
Dexter : I hope all your children have very small dicks! And that includes the girls!

Mary : Well, the only other thing at the moment is a new musical that the RSC are doing.
Dexter : Er, what's it about?
Mary : The Elephant Man.
Dexter : A musical of the Elephant Man? What's it called?
Mary : "Elephant", I think - with an exclamation mark presumably.
Dexter : Pity the poor bastard who has to play the elephant.
Mary : Remember dearest, everyone thought Jesus Christ Superstar was a stupid idea.
Dexter : Jesus Christ Superstar WAS a stupid idea.
Mary : True.

Ron Anderson : [as he is being tied up by Dexter] What the hell is going on?
Dexter : I'll tell you what's going on - first you waste four years of my life! And then you take the only thing I ever really cared about!
Ron Anderson : Your bicycle?
-
Dexter : Vengeance shall be mine!
-
Mr. Morrow : Do you want my advice on questions of love?
Dexter : Yes!
Mr. Morrow : My advice is: go blind. Best thing that ever happened to me. Since 1944, every girl I've spent time with looks the spitting image of Mae West.

Dexter : [can't believe his date is going well, runs to the bathroom and smashes his head against the condom machine a few times, then guiltily buys one]
