Season 1 Quotes

01x02 - The Hustler Season 1 / Episode 2: - The Hustler

Ives: Venables has cracked down like a ton of bricks ever since the Earwig Derby.
Norman Stanley Fletcher: Earwig Derby?
Ives: Yeah, the Earwig Derby.
Evans: Earwig derby, yeah tragic, that.
Norman Stanley Fletcher: What's the Earwig Derby, when was that then?
Ives: Last earwig season.
Norman Stanley Fletcher: Oh, was it, well, then.
Ives: Organised by Grouty of course, very much on the lines of the Jockey Club. Handicaps, eliminators, and then in September the finale... the Derby. Eight yards across the laundry. The whole prison was on. Until of course Mackay finds out. Ah, we never knew.
Norman Stanley Fletcher: What did he do?
Ives: He put his foot down. Yeah, right on top of them! Splat!
01x02 - The Hustler Season 1 / Episode 2: - The Hustler

Mr. Mackay: [Mackay shouts from outside] Ives!
Norman Stanley Fletcher: [Ives has had an egg crushed in his right hand] What are you going to do? Shake hands with him, go on. [Ives walks out]
Norman Stanley Fletcher: [Fletch carries on talking to himself] What a loser. Poor old Ives, what a loser. You know, if Liz Taylor had triplets, and he was one, he'd be the one in the middle, on the bottle.
Norman Stanley Fletcher: [Fletch addresses the chicken] There you are, darling. You ain't a loser. You'd have won if I hadn't cut off your access. [Fletch removes paper from the hatch and retrieves an egg] Look at that, it's a beautiful one. How do you get them so egg-shaped?
Norman Stanley Fletcher: Hang on a minute. Now then, girls. This is what's known as a perk of the job.
