Quotes:
GARETH KEENAN INVESTIGATES!
(Gareth interrogates Tim and Dawn)
Gareth: You know the phrase 'Softly, softly, catchy monkey'? I could catch a monkey. If I was starving I could.
-One of Gareth's rejected signs for the dooor of his 'office'.
Gareth: Was it one of you two?
Dawn: Yes. Christ, you're good.
Gareth: Really?
Dawn: No!
Brent's Philosophy
There's a weight of intellect behind my comedy. If you were to ask me to name three geniuses, I probably wouldn’t say Einstein, Newton...you know. I’d go Milligan, Cleese, Everett. Sessions.
David pretends to fire Chris Finch over the phone, but Jennifer puts on the speaker, revealing that he's just called the clock.
Jennifer: Pathetic.
David: Is it?
(long pause)
Tim: Sorry, does anyone have the time?
