Quotes

• “Geoff: We started off trying to set up a small anarchist community, but people wouldn't obey the rules.”
• “Polly: Education with socialists, it's like sex, all right as long as you don't have to pay for it.”
• “Brian (asked how he feels about being a politician): Passes the time. Fills in that awkward gap between the cradle and the grave.”
• “George: That flaming dog has messed on our steps again. It's the one species I wouldn't mind seeing disappear from the face of the earth. I wish they were like the White Rhino—six of them left in the Serengeti National Park, and all males. Do you know what dogs are? They're those beer-sodden soccer fans piling out of coaches in a lay-by, yanking their cocks out without a blush and pissing up against the wall thirty-nine in a row. I can't stand it.”
• “Polly: Question is whether you hate the coach party because they're like the dogs or hate the dogs because they're like the coach party.”
• “Mrs Wicksteed: Of course, I've known for years our marriage has been a mockery. My body lying there night after night in the wasted moonlight. I know now how the Taj Mahal must feel.”
