& Doctor: Try running.
    Martin: I said the opposite of what I was sacked for.
    Doctor: What are you working on at the moment?
    Martin: Uh, thinking of writing a book.
    Doctor: Oh! Well, that’s good. What’s it about?
    Martin: Russian history.
    Doctor: ... Try running.

& Kate: What happened to that book on Russian history?
    Martin: No one’s interested in Russian bloody history.

& Martin: ...what you’re talking about would be what they call a human interest story. I don’t do those.
    Jane: Why not?
    Martin: Because “human interest story” is a euphemism for stories about weak-minded, vulnerable, ignorant people, to put in newspapers read by vulnerable, weak-minded, ignorant people.

& Philomena: Just cos you’re in first class, it doesn’t make you a first-class person.

& Philomena: You should be nice to the people on the way up cos you might meet them again on the way down.

& Martin: Why would someone who cared so little about where he came from wear something so Irish?
    Philomena: Well, perhaps he played the harp. He was gay after all.
