Quotes

The Ice House (1992)

• Our reputation has obviously preceded us. Don't worry shaking hands with a lesbian is perfectly safe.
  I have nothing against dykes Miss Cattrell, just wouldn't put my finger in one.
  The only disabilities that idiot has are both in his trousers. He's a prick and an arsehole.
  • Kitty Cattrell and D.S. Andy McLoughlin

• Did you know where the ice house was?
  No
  Well, what did you think the hillock was?
  A hillock probably.
  • D.S. Andy McLoughlin and Kitty Cattrell

• You've lived here for eight years, surely you must have explored the grounds.
  Do I look like someone who takes exercise?
  You're very slim.
  Well, I eat very little, drink neat spirits and smoke like a chimney. It does wonders for the figure, but leaves me gasping for breath halfway up the stairs.
