Quotes:

Announcer: Hello and welcome to the Ronald Reagan Memorial Bowl, here in the pretty L.A. suburb of Hollywood. Well, we're about to witness All-in Wrestling, brought to you tonight, ladies and gentlemen, by the makers of Scum, the world's first combined hair oil, foot ointment, and salad dressing; and by the makers of Titan, the novelty nuclear missile. You never know when it'll go off.

First Bruce: They're a typical Hollywood audience. All the kids are on drugs and all the adults are on roller skates.

Albatross Woman: Albatross... Albatross. ALBATROSS. [looks to someone in the crowd] You're not supposed to be smoking that. Albatross.::Someone in the crowd: What flavour is it? What flavour is it?::Albatross Woman: Seagull sickle... Pelican bon-bon... ALBATROSS.::Wife: I will have two ice creams, please.::Albatross Woman: I don't have any ice creams, I've just got this albatross. ALBATROSS.::Wife: What flavour is it?::Albatross Woman: ...Well it's an albatross. Isn't it? It's not any bloody flavour. ALBATROSS.::Wife: It's got to be some flavour, I mean everything's got a flavour.::Albatross Woman: All right. All right. It's bloody... albatross flavour... Bleedin' seabird bleedin' flavour. ALBATROSS.::Wife: You get wafers with it?::Albatross Woman: Of course you don't getting fucking wafers with it, you cunt. It's a fucking albatross isn't it.

Michelangelo: Good evening, Your Holiness.::The Pope: Evening, Michelangelo. I want to talk to you about this painting of yours, The Last Supper. I'm not happy about it.::Michelangelo: Oh, dear. It took me hours.::The Pope: Not happy at all.::Michelangelo: Is it the jello you don't like?::The Pope: No.::Michelangelo: It does add a bit of colour, doesn't it. Oh, I know, you don't like the kangaroo.::The Pope: What kangaroo?::Michelangelo: No problem, I'll paint him out.::The Pope: I never saw a kangaroo.::Michelangelo: Uh, he's right at the back. No sweat, I'll make him into a disciple. All right?::The Pope: That's the problem.::Michelangelo: What is?::The Pope: The disciples.::Michelangelo: Are they too Jewish? I made Judas the most Jewish.::The Pope: No, it's just that there are 28 of them.

First Bruce: We find your American beer like making love in a canoe. It's fucking close to water.

Husband: It's the Bishop of Leicester.::Wife: How do you know?::Husband: Tattooed on the back of his neck. I think I'd better call the police.::Wife: Shouldn't you call the church?::Son: Call the Church Police.::Husband: Good idea.

Customer: I'd like to have an argument please.

Flying minstrel: I've got two legs, from my hips to the ground / And when I move them, they walk around / And when I lift them, they climb the stairs / And when I shave them, they ain't got hairs.

Barrister 1: I did my whole, "Serious offense" bit and then I waggled me wig!::Husband: You did what?::Barrister 1: I waggled me wig!

Yorkshireman 1: Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves.::Yorkshireman 2: But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.
