Series 2
[edit]Episode 1 [2.1]
[edit]- [Guy has brought a kitten in Mac’s room. He then takes out a gun and points it at the kitten.]
- Guy: Wake up, or the kitty gets it. [Pause, followed by the kitten meowing quietly, then he talks to the kitten.] You said it would work.
- Caroline: Guy, did you take a cat and a gun into Mac’s ward?
- Guy: It was a replica.
- Caroline: [Gasps] You brought in a replica cat?
- Guy: [slowly] A replica gun.
- Caroline: You're trying to get fully reinstated, how stupid can you be?
- Guy: Not stupid enough to ask whether or not someone has brought in a replica cat.
- Martin is puzzled about Guy's choice of lunch
- Martin: You don't like curry.
- Guy: No. Ah, not usually, no. But it's Ramadan! [waves the curry under the noses of two nurses] A time for fasting. Yum yum yum! Smells so good!
- Nurse: We're Hindu, you nipple!
Episode 2 [2.2]
[edit]- Angela: Just tell him what happened.
- Caroline: He might not believe me. I’ve got no witnesses.
- Angela: Well, if he knows his minds gone a bit…blurrg…so just tell him.
- Caroline: Oh right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hi Mac, I’m er, I’m Caroline. You know, the one you found a bit irritating at first, but then er…well, the thing is you really, really liked me and now we’re kind of a couple. So, there you go, I’ve filled in all the gaps, let’s go to bed.
- Angela: Well, maybe in not so many words.
- [At an internal tribunal.]
- Charles: Isn’t there something else you’d like to say?
- Guy: Err…I don’t think so?
- Sue: What’s the magic word?
- Guy: Abracadabra?
- Charles: How do you normally express your gratitude to somebody?
- Guy: You want a tip? Is that ethical?
- Caroline: Look, we’re all back!
- Mac: Yeah, but I don’t really remember who you are?
- Guy: Well, as long you remember in what order to put the organs back in in.
- Mac: What an odd thing to say say. [Mac has a scalpel in his hand, and starts waving it around.] A one, a two, a one, two, three, four.
- Caroline: Yeah, I’m actually a little bit worried now.
- Mac: Wuss.
- Guy: Oooh…no! Not like that! Don’t hold it like that. Oh my God, the man’s a butcher. Be careful with that bit, that’s the bit they need to…eat asparagus. They won’t be able to eat asparagus if you cut that bit out.
- [Guy and Mac’s top five qualities in a woman, to Caroline.]
- Guy: Five qualities, that’s easy. Number one, bendy.
- Mac: Unpredictable.
- Guy: Number two, shaved.
- Mac: Must appreciate the genius of the Kinks.
- Guy: Number three, slightly anorexic.
- Mac: Thoughtful eyes.
- Guy: Four, about sort of 5% lesbian.
- Mac: Should be in touch with her masculine side.
- Guy: And finally, mustn’t be too smelly in the cellar.
- Mac: Compassionate.
- Guy: [Disgusted] Ugh…So what you’ve come up with is an unpredictable, yet compassionate, slightly masculine, Kinks fan... with eyes?
- Mac: I know. It’s an impossible dream.
- Guy: [to Caroline as they leave] In the cellar. Down below...
Episode 3 [2.3]
[edit]- [Harriet rushes into the office.]
- Harriet: Oh, sorry I’m late. The kids.
- Kim: Took forever to get ready?
- Harriet: Yeah, and the traffic.
- Rachel: Terrible?
- Harriet: Wasn’t it. Then I had to stop off at… [She opens her bag, and a cat comes out of it.] Oh. Well who did I leave at the vets then?
- Caroline: I’m just saying it’s a male dominated workplace.
- Guy: Bollocks!
- Caroline: I’ve got a few other points you can prove for me if you like.
- Guy: It’s not male dominated, there are bloody women everywhere.
- Mac: Hmm…crunching underfoot everywhere they walk.
- Guy: Yeah. Have you ever paid for a woman to walk on you? I have. It’s pointless. Really hurts.
- Caroline: Wow, it’s like working with Germaine Greer.
- Joanna: Right, what have we got? Anything?
- Kim: Oh wait, there’s a complaints file.
- Joanna: I knew it! [They open the file. A pop-up paper set of flowers comes up from the file. Both scream at the sight.] Oh damn, she’s good.
- Sue: Do I look like a mug? Have I got a handle? Am I made of china? Am I kept in a cupboard or on a small wooden tree? Would you like to put your lips on my rim? You may answer that question, the others were rhetorical.
- Angela: This is the chance of a lifetime. If it doesn’t happen now, it may never happen!
- Sue: Are we still on the rim thing?
- [Mac enters the gents'.]
- Martin: [O. O. V.] Hi Mac.
- [Mac turns]
- Mac: OK, that is the worst "going to the toilet" I’ve ever seen.
- [The camera moves to show Martin stuck to the wall with parcel tape.]
- Martin: Yeah, Guy said he’d be phoning the gays.
- Mac: Which gays?
- Martin: Well, all of them.
- Mac: The thing you have to understand about the gays, is that they're probably more scared of you, than you are of them.
Episode 4 [2.4]
[edit]- Guy: [To Caroline] You’ve got paperclips stuck to your hand.
- Caroline: Have I? [Caroline lifts up her left hand. There are paperclips stuck to it.] Oh, must be a full moon; my hand goes magnetic.
- Caroline: Swiss mouth, shut!
- Caroline has reluctantly agreed to let Guy move into her spare room
- Mac: A sabot, or sa-bot, was a kind of wooden clog worn by impoverished French workers, and as a protest against the Jacquard loom-- which they thought would take away their jobs-- they'd throw their sabots-- or wooden clogs-- into the delicate machinery to destroy its workings, from which we get the modern word sabotage.
- Guy: Yeah, alright. Now you've harshed my buzz, have you got a point?
- Mac: Well, if your plan to move in with Caroline is, in any way, an attempt to sabotage our relationship, I will hit you in the fucking face with a big wooden clog.
Episode 5 [2.5]
[edit]- [Mac and Caroline are ready to kiss]
- Guy: Can you get a verruca on your penis?
- Caroline: I can’t, can you?
- Mac: Never tried, pretty good at most parlour games though.
- Guy: A friend of mine fell knob first into a foot bath at a swimming pool, he was wondering, that’s all. I’m not interrupting anything am I?
- Mac: Just the evolution of mankind.

- Karen: (embarrassed smile) No!

- Alan: Not really.
- [Joanna takes Alan’s notebook and reads it herself.]
- Joanna: “Damaged heron.” Somehow that’s worse.
- Alan: Give it here.
- Joanna: No, that’s going to the same place as my cousin.
- Alan: Oh that’s terrific, where am I supposed to jot down my useful ideas?
- Joanna: On your knob end? You wouldn’t need a huge amount of space will you? Oh here’s a useful idea for you, don’t kill dwarfs with herons.
Episode 7 [2.7]
[edit]- [Sue is kissing the ventriloquist's dummy.]
- Sue: Live, damn you, live!
- Dummy: Fuck off! Save yourself for Dr. Macartney.
- Sue: Yeah, I know you're right, you're right; but, Mac and Holly...what are we going to do?
- Dummy: Destroy her!
- Sue: Yes, good, how?
- Dummy: Leave it to me.
- Alan: Let’s have sex.
- Joanna: We have to keep away from each other!
- Alan: Let’s have sex separately.
- Mac: I think my son's hair is dyed.
- Martin: Oh, right. Well, have you checked to see whether his collar and cuffs match?
- Mac: Martin, he's four years old.
- Martin: Yeah, I know.
- Mac: But if it is dyed, do you see what that means? Do you see what that implies?
- Martin: Means he's probably quite vain about his appearance? Oh my God! He's gay!
Episode 8 [2.8]
[edit]- Guy: [As Caroline takes a towel and wipes the mirror without reading the message.] No!
- Caroline: What?
- Guy: You spoilt it.
- Caroline: [Brushing her teeth] Spoilt what?
- Guy: The mirror, I'd written in it.
- Caroline: Really.
- Guy: Yes.
- Caroline: Wrote what?
- Guy: It doesn’t matter now, but if you must know it was, 'I love you.'
- Caroline: You bloody narcissist!
- Mac: All I’m saying is that you’ll never be a one-woman man.
- Guy: That’s rubbish, I am.
- Mac: Are you?
- Guy: Yeah.
- Mac: What about that new blonde girl in ENT, nice or what?
- Guy: Not interested.
- Mac: Not interested?
- Guy: No. No, I’ve changed.
- Mac: Oh great. What about Graham in dermatology
- Guy: Changed as in, “I think I’m ready for commitment.”
- Mac: Fantastic. I’ll sign your commitment papers for you today.
The Secret Policeman's Ball Sketch
[edit]- Mac: You look a bit like a fairy.
- Guy: [Points to Mac and Sue] Pot, kettle. Kettle, pot. That's the introductions out of the way.
- Sue: Really? Who's this, then? [Get up off the gurney and talks to the patient] Oh, no, you don't, little lady. Uh-huh. Think we might've met before. Come on, up you pop. Off your trolley!
- Guy: [Points to Sue and the patient] Pot, kettle. Kettle, pot.
Misc quotes
[edit]- Joanna: “Criminals always get caught in the end, don’t you watch TV?”
- Boyce: [To Martin, after he denies he offered a ride on his motorbike to a prostitute.] "Well, there was someone straddling you mate, maybe you should check your rear-view mirrors more."
