Quotes 

• Mitchell : Hey George, you wanna watch The Real Hustle?

  [Mitchel turns on the TV] 

  George : Oh I'd really like that, Mitchell. Women, you think you're such authorities, like the way you deal with emotions is the only way.

  Mitchell : It's not on.

  George : Uh yeah it is, at like 10:30.

  Mitchell : No, they've moved it.

  George : What, no, you're kidding me. No, I was looking forward to that.

  Mitchell : 10:30, Thursday, that's Real Hustle time. A fucking child knows that.

  George : Could I not just have one good thing in my life?

  Mitchell : It just drives me insane when they move stuff around.

  Mitchell : Don't I deserve it? Don't I deserve one bloody crumb of happiness?

  Mitchell : This is so... what, we're supposed to check? Every week? Like we don't have anything else to do? Is it our responsibility? I mean, why is it down to us to...

  George : I saw a preview, they were going to do a call about cash points.

  Mitchell : Really?

  [George nods] 

  Mitchell : I would've loved that. You bastards!

  [Mitchell throws the remote across the living room and storms off into the kitchen while George sobs on the couch. Mitchell returns wearing a pair of Marigolds] 

  Mitchell : Here, I'll do the washing up! Is everyone happy now!

• George : We've been having a house meeting.

  Mitchell : Been having a house meeting? Why wasn't I invited?

  Annie : Well, if you were ever here then we would've invited you.

  Mitchell : Hang on a minute...

  George : We decided you're not pulling your weight around this place.

  Mitchell : What's that supposed to mean?

  George : You don't buy any food, you'd never hoover... I don't even think you know what a pair of marigolds are.

  Mitchell : I don't do marigolds.

  George : Oh, and I do?

  Annie : O-okay, d-do you know what? I think that we've all just lost sight of each other a bit. We need to team build; we need to bond.

  George : But I'm not going to paintball, not again, not after last time.

  Annie : We need to talk, so... George, you start.

  George : [to Mitchell]  Are you okay?

  Mitchell : I've been better. You?

  George : Likewise.

  Mitchell : We should go out one night and just get hammered.

  George : Yeah, that's a good idea.

  Annie : [obviously annoyed]  ... That's it? That's how you share?

  George : What more is there to say?

  Mitchell : Yeah, he's feeling a bit down, which is... pretty understandable, and I'm kinda stressed. We don't need to turn this into an episode of Oprah.

  George : Exactly. File under "Have Discussed."

• Annie : Ok, do you know what? I think that we've all just lost sight of each other a bit. We need to team build we need to bond.

  George : I'm not going paintballing, not again, not after last time.

  Annie : We need to talk, so... George you start.

  George : Are you ok.

  Mitchell : I've been better. You?

  George : Likewise.

  Mitchell : We should go out one night and just get hammered.

  George : Yeah that's a good idea.

  Annie : [obviously annoyed]  ... That's it? That's how you share?

  George : What more is there to say?

  Mitchell : Yeah, he's just feeling a bit down, which is pretty understandable, and I'm kinda stressed, we don't need to turn this into an episode of Oprah.

• George : Why hasn't anyone gone shopping?

  Annie : Well I don't know if you've noticed, but I've been struggling with the whole "ghost" thing the last few days. Strangely, being invisible makes purchasing Pyramid tea bags a touch awkward.

• Annie : Did you know that gypsies are born with six toes and that's why they never wear flip flops?

  George : I don't think that's actually true.

• George : About a year ago she just turns around and tells me that I'm just too conventional for her. That I lack imagination and passion.

  Hugh : Women. They just don't appreciate solid, stable, reliable men.

  Hugh : She even hated the way I wash up. You know, just because I like to dry, all right? And put everything away, and not leave it dripping on the rack.

  George : Oh, oh! So she'd prefer lime scale on the draining board?

  Hugh : Oh, I guess it could go with the coffee rings on the table.

  George : Coasters! You just put one under the mug. It's not rocket science.

• Annie : We can turn this around.

  George : How?

  Annie : Well, she just needs a new experience so awful that she realises Hugh really is the one for her; so, your mission is to become her boyfriend but to be absolutely crap at it.

  George : Well, I can't do that.

  Annie : But of course you can. Look what a fuck-up you made of your last relationship.

• George : You've put the system back in place, haven't you?

  Mitchell : It's the only way to control them.

  George : Right. So killing's okay again now, is it?

  Mitchell : This is just the short term.

  George : And the long term?

  Mitchell : I'm gonna help them get off blood. It's the only way, George! I can do this. I can persuade them.

  George : Oh, so this is before or after you walk on water?

• George : You can't go interfering with people's lives like that.

  Annie : It's not interfering, it's more like regime change.

  George : Oh, 'cause that's never gone wrong.
