Coupling

"Guys! Emergency... How long do intestines take?"

"Ok, ok, if you swallowed something, something valuable say, how long before it's found it's way back to the light?"

Steve: Back to the light?

"Yeah the light at the end of the..."

Steve: Yes thank you Jeff I have the image! Once again a dark new place has opened in my mind.

"Look, I just need to know how long before it's ringside."

"Well we were just spending a quiet night in front of the television and in the course of events I swallowed some of her jewellery.

Steve: You what?

"There was a swallowidge incident. I swallowed an item. Now normally when I swallow Julia's jewellery it doesn't really matter..."

Steve: Jeff please! 'Normally' has never been used in that sentence before.

"Well you know what it's like when you've got your own actual real life girlfriend. It's like you've got a woman with a nudity switch. And, sometimes when she's lying there and she's just so, so, totally naked I can't control myself. I just sort of Hoover...Obviously, now and then in the course of any kind of nudity hovering you're gonna ingest items it's just part of the relationship. But, she usually don't usually notice so normally I remain calm, let nature take its course and then in due time slip the relevant items back into her jewellery box."

Steve: I see

"I don't mean directly."

"I've been to the chemists. I bought every laxative in the shop. What happens if I take all of them at once? Do you think there is a danger of lift off?"

I LOL every time :D
 
My favourite Coupling quotes:

Jeff: When God made the arse, he didn't say, 'Hey, it's just your basic hinge, let's knock off early.' He said, 'Behold ye angels, I have created the arse. Throughout the ages to come, men and women shall grab hold of these, and shout my name!

Steve: I never bite heads off live fetuses.
Susan: Words never before uttered at a pregnancy convention.

And the all time best ever rant on TV:

Steve: Oh, because it's got naked women in it! Look, I like naked women! I'm a bloke! I'm supposed to like them! We're born like that. We like naked women as soon as we're pulled out of one. Halfway down the birth canal we're already enjoying the view. Look, it's the four pillars of the male heterosexual psyche. We like: naked women, stockings, lesbians, and Sean Connery best as James Bond. Because that is what being a bloke is. And if you don't like it, darling, join a film collective. I want to spend the rest of my life with the woman at the end of the table here. But that does not stop me wanting to see several thousand more naked bottoms before I die. Because that's what being a bloke is. When Man invented fire, he didn't say "Hey, let's cook!" He said: "Great! Now we can see naked bottoms in the dark!" As soon as Caxton invented the printing press we were using it to make pictures of - hey! - naked bottoms. We've turned the Internet into an enormous international database of... naked bottoms. So, you see, the story of male achievement through the ages, feeble though it may have been, has been the story of our struggle to get a better look at your bottoms. Frankly, girls, I'm not so sure how insulted you really ought to be.
 
Coupling was a cool show. I think it's probably one that people have seen mostly on DVD though because wasn't it on BBC2 at a late time or something?
 
thats the one DRZ :)

i just remember patrick talking about how he got scammed by 2 twins, working him at the same time

then adds

"yea woulda been worse if they was identical"
 
"The BBC asked us for a fifth series, but getting all our cast in the same place at the same time just got too difficult. Also, we all had a lurking suspicion that we'd finished the story with the last one (Nine And A Half Months), and that it was a good note to go out on. Quit while you're ahead, wise people say. But sod those boring wise people, we're gonna do a Christmas Special."
