Kev : I don't give a monkey's arsehole about Mods and Rockers. Underneath, we're all the same, 'n't we?
Jimmy : No, Kev, that's it. Look, I don't wanna be the same as everybody else. That's why I'm a Mod, see? I mean, you gotta be somebody, ain't ya, or you might as well jump in the sea and drown.
Kev : That's why I joined the army. To be different. To get away from all this. Don't matter where you go, there's always some cunt with stars and stripes who wants to push you about.

Jimmy : Bellboyyyyyy!

Mr. Fulford : Mr. Cale tells me that you spent the weekend in Brighton. I imagine you were involved some extent in the disturbances there?
Jimmy : Yeah, I was there.
Mr. Fulford : Weren't arrested or detained or anything like that were you?
Jimmy : No.
Mr. Fulford : I must say I find your attitude fairly incomprehensible. I feel I must warn you, Cooper, that we can't tolerate this kind of absenteeism amongst our junior staff. You've a good steady job here, Cooper. Plenty of young men would give their eye teeth to be in your shoes.
Jimmy : Yeah? Well, find one, then!
Mr. Fulford : I beg your pardon?
Jimmy : You heard. I said find one, then! Yeah, I'll tell you what you can do with your eye teeth and your job, you can take that mail and that franking machine and all that other rubbish I have to go about with and you can stuff 'em right up your arse!

Kev : Hi Jim. What's the matter with you, then?
Jimmy : Well, that gear you got, it's leather.
Kev : That's it. Goes with the bike, dunnit?
Jimmy : I never realised.
Kev : You never realised what?
Jimmy : Well, you's a rocker.
Kev : What, am I black or something?
Jimmy : You ain't exactly white in that sort of get-up, are you?

Father : What's this rubbish, then?
Jimmy : [watching The Who on TV] Ready Steady Go!
Father : Ready what?
Jimmy : Ready Steady Go!
Father : Ready Steady Go? Bunch of louts. Bloody moron. I suppose they wear wet jeans n'all, do they? Hey? What? What? Is that how you're supposed to play a guitar now, then? Hey? Oh, gawd help us. Here, have you seen this?
Mother : I haven't got time for all that rubbish.
Father : I can sing better than that little ape. You call that singing? Sounds like a drowned dog. That'll make you deaf, you know.

Jimmy : Nothing seems right, apart from Brighton. I mean, Brighton was OK. Going to court with the Ace and that. And, like, I was a mod there, you know? I mean that's something, innit, eh?
Steph : Oh, what are you talkin' about? Brighton was a laugh. That's why we went down. It was a giggle, that's all.
Jimmy : Oh, yeah? And me and you, then? Was that just a giggle?
Steph : Oh, what do you think? All right, so I fancied you. We had it off together. But that don't mean nothin', does it?
Jimmy : It did to fuckin' me!

Jimmy : You shut up and piss off! You're all wankers and cunts! Wankers and cunts!

Dave : You're fucking mad, you are, getting chucked out. You should have stayed around. You would've been well in.
Jimmy : What d'you mean?
Dave : She was all on her Jack Jones, wasn't she?
Jimmy : Steph?
Dave : Yeah. Fucking Fenton gets off with this beatnik chick. And she's all on her own, ain't she. Well, I'll tell you, I would've been up her like a fuckin' ferret. Well, if I hadn't know that you and her were so...
Jimmy : So what? I ain't gone on her, you know.
Dave : Leave it out, everybody knows you fancy her. I reckon she's a right good bunk-up, lads.
Jimmy : Oh, you animal!
