• Honey : William just turned down Anna Scott.

  Spike : You daft prick.

• Spike : Just going to the kitchen to get some food, then I'm going to tell you a story that will make your balls shrink to the size of raisins.

  [leaves corridor for kitchen] 

  Anna Scott : Probably best not tell anyone about this.

  William : Right, no one. I mean, I'll tell myself sometimes but - don't worry - I won't believe it.

• Spike : I knew a girl at school called Pandora. Never got to see her box, though.

• Spike : There's something wrong with this yogurt.

  William : Ah, that's not yogurt, that's mayonnaise...

  Spike : Ah, right-o then.

  [continues to eat it] 

• William : [Spike is wearing Will's wetsuit]  Can I ask you why you are wearing that?

  Spike : Combination of factors. No clean clothes.

  William : There never will be unless you actually *clean* your clothes.

  Spike : Vicious circle. And I was rooting around in your things and found this and thought groovy. Kind of... spacy.

• Spike : [comes in after being photographed by the press]  How did I look?

  [looking in a mirror] 

  Spike : Not bad, not bad at all. Well chosen briefs I must say. Chicks dig grey.

  [clenching his butt] 

  Spike : Nice. Firm. Buttocks.

• Anna Scott : Oh really? So the entire British press got up this morning and said, "I know where Anna Scott is, she's in that house with the blue door, in Notting Hill." And then you go out, in your goddamn underwear...

  Spike : [walks in]  I went out in my goddamn underwear too.

• Spike : [about Anna who is staying with Will]  Well, isn't this a good opportunity to... slip her one?

• Spike : Bugger this for a bunch of bananas.

• William : [Anna has left after the press showed up on the doorstep]  Was it you?

  Spike : I may have told a few people down at the pub.
