White Christmas

Black Mirror 3×1

& Matthew: We’re doing Christmas.
    Joe: Christmas?
    Matthew: Christmas Day, December 25th. You’ve heard of it?

& Matthew: Why are you here? No-one ends up here without things going to total shit for them back out there.
    Joe: It’s a job, not a jail.
    Matthew: Often one and the same thing.

& Matthew: The tactic, generally, was to deliberately freeze out the one you were actually interested in. For one thing you wouldn’t seem needy but... also they would, most times, sort of lean in naturally. People want to be noticed. They don’t like to be shut out. It makes them feel invisible.

& Matthew: People just want to be heard. That’s why 90% of seduction is just listening.
    Joe: Or at least pulling a face like you’re listening.
    Matthew: Yeah. That works, too. The important thing is to make them feel important. Like they can make you want to extinguish the rest of the world and focus on them. Full attention.

& Matthew: Anyway, the point is to stay locked in on them long enough to build a rapport.

& Watcher Stingray: ’They’re going to have sex. You’re getting the season finale in episode one.’

& Matthew: I’m glad we’re talking. Silence can be oppressive. You think weird shit in a vacuum, huh?

& Matthew: The picking up girls thing was a hobby. My job was completely different. You’ll never guess what that was.
    Joe: Marketing person?
    Matthew: No.
Ω Bazinga!

& Matthew: You know, as I was coming here, I saw this guy with his shirt off, riding a horse in the middle of the street...
    Greta: How weird.
    Matthew: I swear to God...

& Matthew: Some might say that five years with me is punishment enough.
Ω Not 5. All the 7! More acurately, 6 and a half till this particular moment.
