"I do assure you, Mrs. Buttle, the Ministry is very scrupulous about following up and eradicating any error. If you have any complaints which you'd like to make, I'd be more than happy to send you the appropriate forms."

"[to Jill] You won't believe this, I know it's going to sound incredible, but I've been dreaming about you. No, not like that. I mean, I love you - in my dreams - I love you. And, uh...Extraordinary, isn't it?"

"Well, that's a pipe of a different color."

"Listen, this whole system of yours could be on fire and I couldn't even turn on the kitchen tap without filling out a twenty-seven B stroke six... bloody paperwork."

"Listen, kid, we're all in it together."

"Jill? Yes... Sam I think I ought to tell you. I'm afraid she's upped stumps and retired to the pavilion. Thrown in the towel."

"All I can say is don't fall at the last fence. The finishing post's in sight. See you in the paddock... keep your eye on the ball."

"'Ere I am, J.H. ...The ghost in the machine."

"Arresting Officer: That is your receipt for your husband... and this is my receipt for your receipt."

"Bill, Department of Works: Mistakes? We don't make mistakes."

"Charlie, Department of Works: Bloody typical, they've gone back to metric without telling us."

"Guard: Don't fight it, son. Confess quickly! If you hold out too long you could jeopardize your credit rating."

"Mr. Warrenn: Ahhhh! Here we are. Your very own number, on your very own door. And behind that door, your very own office! Congratulations, DZ-stroke-oh-one-five. Welcome to the team!"

"Mr. Warrenn: And what the hell is this mess. An empty desk is an efficient desk...I don't know what's going on here, Lowry, but don't think you can intimidate us with your friends and relatives in high places. NOW SHAPE UP!"

"Kurtzmann: It's been confusion from the word go! He's been overcharged for Information Retrieval Procedures and someone somewhere is trying to make us carry the can."

"Jack Lint: We've always been close, haven't we? Well, until this whole thing blows over, just stay away from me."

"Jack Lint: This is information retrieval not information dispersal."

"Dr. Lewis Jaffe: Can you believe it? Just me and my little knife. Snip, snip, slice, slice...But this is just the beginning...You've seen her with her clothes off. Faces are a doddle compared to tits and ass. No hairlines."

"Dr. Chapman: That technique...I've tried it. A nice effect, but highly unstable. In six months, she'll look like Grandma Moses."

"Spoor: Where'd you get this from, eh? Out yer nostril?"

"Spoor: All you've got to do is blow your nose and it's fixed, in't it?"

"Holly: Put it on, big boy. I won't look at your willy."

"Mrs. Terrain: My complication had a little complication. But Dr. Jaffe says I'll soon be up and bounding about like a young gazelle."

"Loose talk is noose talk."

"The truth shall make you free."

"It's only a state of mind."

"We're all in it together."

"It's about flights of fantasy. And the nightmare of reality. Terrorist bombings. And late night shopping. True Love. And creative plumbing."

"Have a laugh at the horror of things to come."

"Suspicion breeds confidence."

"Be safe be suspicious."

"Relax in a panic free atmosphere."

"Don't suspect a friend, report him."

"Trust in haste, regret at leisure."

"Eagle eyes can save a life."

"Mr. Helpmann, I'm keen to get into Information Retrieval. Mr. Helpmann, I'm dying to get at this woman... no, no, no."

"Yes, I always used to wonder if she wore falsies. False ears..."
