Franky: Do you want to find out!? It's a re-drilled replica. It shoots bullets, okay!?

Matty: So why do I see a... glorious fucking head-fuck thing?

Rich: Hey, "Sub". I'm Rich.
[Grace and Rich drink their pints in one go]
Grace: So... what do you do for fun, Rich?
Rich: Uh... listen to music, go to gigs, hang out with my mate Alo. That's about it, really.
Grace: You don't have any other friends? Just this "Alo" guy?
Rich: Yeah, just him, really.
Grace: No-one else?
Rich: Well, recently, there's been a couple of other people... this girl, Franky, and... others.
Grace: Others?
Rich: Well, there's this girl who's been helping me, I suppose. Okay, what sort of music are you into, "Sub"?

Rich: Nine Inch Nails?
Grace: Fuck off! Trent Reznor can suck my cock! [beat] This girl, then, who's helping you. What do you think of her?
Rich: Honestly?
Grace: Honestly.
Rich: She's alright, but she lets people walk all over her, and her friends treat her like shit and she doesn't say a word.
Grace: Maybe she knows her friends love her?
Rich: Maybe she's got no fucking self-respect.
Grace: You think you know me, Rich. No-one fucking knows me. Not you, not Mini, not Liv. No-one's got a fucking clue what I am or what I can do.

[Liv to Matty]
Liv: Keep it simple. No future, no names, no touching. This is not a hook-up. I’ve got interpersonal issues. And syphilis. And the reason I chose you is 'cos you’re little, and I do karate. This is, like, a one-day-only deal. And if I see you on the street tomorrow, I am going to blank you, so don’t get weepy about it.

[Liv to Mini]
Liv: Do you remember how we became friends? I’d been crying all morning and you came over to me. I thought you were going to give me a tissue, like everyone else who knew what happened. But instead, you gave me these…[pulls out a pair of sunglasses] in the middle of winter. I felt so cool with you. And we were so much better than all those nice boys and girls, like we knew a secret they didn’t. But we don’t tell each other our secrets… do we?

Nick: This Friday, there are gonna be thirty men on that pitch. Fifteen of them are gonna be winners. Fifteen of them are gonna be bitches. Which do you wanna be?
Team: Winners!
Nick: Damn right! Because this is a team of winners. And we're not gonna allow ourselves to fail. Because failure's a... giant bitch with sharp claws. We're gonna gang rape failure, we're gonna hold it down and we're gonna-

Nick: Isn't this wicked? The Bloods and The Cripples together at last. You get me?

[Coach Pooter is giving Nick massage therapy]
Coach Pooter: So... You gonna tell me what the matter is then, hey?
Nick: I'm just nervous about the game, coach.
Coach Pooter: Ag... Don't tug me, boy. You can say what you like, but muscles never lie. [Nick groans from his massage] I can read a body like a book, boy. And this is a depressing book about an anxious young man.
Nick: [as Coach Pooter squeezes his chest muscle] Argh! Fuck.
Coach Pooter: Just as I thought. An anxious young man who's worrying about a girl. And you know what I think about those types of books?
Nick: No, sir.
Coach Pooter: They're no good to me before a big game. You know... I've got a brother... Back in Jo'burg. I didn't speak to him for 10 years -
Nick: Okay!
Coach Pooter: Just shut up and listen, ja? He was a bastard, right? An angry, bigoted young man. I hated his guts. But I -

TV Show: Skins
Coach Pooter: You're gonna run away, is that it?
Nick: I'm not running away!
Coach Pooter: Yes, you are. It's all very well. Seeing an injustice, Nick, that's the easy part. What you do next is the hard part. It defines a man.
Nick: I can't be happy in that house, coach!
Coach Pooter: You wanna be happy? That it, yeah?
Nick: Yeah!
Coach Pooter: [picking up a picture of Nelson Mandela] Do you know who this is?
Nick: Yeah, of course, but...
Coach Pooter: He's a happy man. Yeah? Respected. Everybody loves Madiba. He's fair, and peaceful, and friendly. But when he was your age, he was a right angry fucker. Furious, yeah? He blew things up, fought and fought and fought against the shit he came up against. He never ran away. They had to lock the bastard away, to try to stop him. And even then, he fought.
Nick: I don't know what you're saying.
Coach Pooter: I'm saying I thought you were stronger than someone who runs, Nick.
