Mandy
- Now, you listen here: 'e's not the Messiah, 'e's a very naughty boy! Now, go away!
Boring Prophet
- And there shall in that time be rumours of things going astray, and there will be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia work base, that has an attachment…at this time, a friend shall lose his friends’s hammer and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before around eight o’clock...
Blood and Thunder Prophet
- ... And the beast shall be huge and black, and the eyes thereof red with the blood of living creatures, and the whore of Babylon shall ride forth on a three-headed serpent, and throughout the lands, there'll be a great rubbing of parts. Yeeah...
Mr. Frisbee III
- Cheer up, Brian. You know what they say: Some things in life are bad. They can really make you mad. Other things just make you swear and curse. When you're chewing on life's gristle, Don't grumble. Give a whistle. And this'll help things turn out for the best. And... [music] Always look on the bright side of life.
Prisoner
- Oh, what I wouldn't give to be spitted at in the face. I sometimes hang awake at night dreaming of being spat at in the face.
Dialogue
