Episode Quotes |

David: Funny enough, the reason why women wear necklaces is to draw attention to the breasts.
Date #1: I don't.
David: No, I mean, subconsciously.
Date #1: No, I don't. I wear this because my mother gave it to me before she died.
David: Yeah, well, I mean, she probably wanted to draw attention to hers, but I mean...
Date #1: Sorry, can we not talk about my dead mother's breasts?
| David: Do you know the reason why men are attacked to cleavage? It's because it reminds us of a woman's buttocks. Because I suppose presumably when we were cavemen we used to do you from behind, so we like the--. And then we evolved and probably turned you over when language came in to either chat, or just to look at the breasts that reminded us of the buttock in the first place.
Date #1: Can we not talk about breasts, full stop?
| Tim: Gareth, are you still in the TAs?
Gareth: Yeah.
Tim: What rank are you?
Gareth: Lieutenant.
Tim: Are you? Because I was thinking, if you ever take an enemy soldier prisoner, right, would you have to search him?
Gareth: Yeah, it's possible. Yeah.
Tim: Right, so let's just say you've taken him prisoner, you're doing a full body search, you find something hard, you can feel it, you know what it is. Do you just say to him, "I know you've got a big weapon, give it to me now"? Or...?
Gareth: I'm not gonna ask him, I would just get it out myself.
Tim: Right. And what happens – you're going into battle situation – are up in front with your men, or are you coming up the rear?
Gareth: Well, depends.
Dawn: It's possible you'd come up the rear?
Gareth: It's possible, yeah.
Tim: That's all we wanted to know.
| Tim: Life isn't about endings, is it? Is a series of moments. And um, it's like, you know, if you turn your camera off, it's not an ending, is it? I'm still here. My life's not over. Come back- come back here in ten years, see how I'm doing then. 'Cause I could be married with kids, you don't know. Life just goes on.
| Neil: No dog with you today, David?
Chris Finch: Didn't you see her? She just left.
(Neil and Chris laugh at David)
David: Chris, why don't you fuck off?
