The Boys Are Back

& Joe: Basically, I've found that the more rules there are, the more crimes are created. So, fewer rules. Fewer but bigger rules. No interrupting adults...
    Harry: Why not?
    Joe: Very good. No swearing.
    Harry: Why?
    Joe: I don't like it. It's the mark of a limited vocabulary and a sign of laziness and egotism, which is why it's a privilege reserved for adults.
    Harry: If it's a sign of a small vocabulary, then how come there are so many swear words? Bloody, bleeding, buggery*, sodding*, shitting, bastard, mother...
    Joe: Moving swiftly on, as little lying and stealing as possible, no fighting, except for fun, no wanton* littering*.
    Harry: Oh!
    Joe: As far as possible, be polite. Now, screaming insanely, running round the house making absurd and disgusting noises, throwing water bombs at the windows, all of these are actively encouraged. Artie!! In fact, really, there's only one rule, and that is you've got to do as I tell you. It's just that I'm not going to tell you to do very much. The aim is something we like to call hog* heaven.


& Laura: "Just say yes"?
    Joe: It has the power to change the way you live.
    Laura: Really? It's not just an easy way out?
    Joe: It seems to work for us. It's not easy at all. It's really difficult. Our kids ask us to do a whole range of unsuitable things and we just go, "No." We don't even think about it. That's the habit I'm trying to control. Artie says, "Can we go and swim in the river?" I say, "No. I have to go and buy some milk."
    Laura: You're a brave man.

& Joe: Funny thing, isn't it? The minute you think you're getting things sorted is the moment it all starts to fall apart.


& Tennis Journalist: Hey, Joe.
    Joe: Hello, stranger. I only get wheeled out for the finals these days. I don't know who to root for, long legs or big breasts.
    Journalist: I suppose you could make a decision based on the relative strengths of two extraordinary athletes.
    Joe: Breasts, isn't it? Got to be.
