Quotes 

• Barry Taylor : Do you play ping-pong Pippa?

• Barry Taylor : [On British Basketball]  Always seemed strange to me, all those seven foot American Negroes playing for Milton Keynes.

• Barry Taylor : They'll probably be in the Bel and Dragon, drinking penis coladas til dawn.

• Barry Taylor : It's a nightmare. I said to Hazel, that was back in January, "Haz", I said, "By the time your wedding day comes around, the home of your dreams will be ready and waiting for you." If it isn't... I don't think she'll marry me.

  Trevor : You know, a place this size could house about eight homeless families.

  Barry Taylor : Oh don't give me any of your militant claptrap, Trevor. I sweated blood to buy this place.

  Trevor : Oh aye, The Falklands.

  Barry Taylor : Not just The Falklands, thank you, I was in Germany before that. Yeah we roughed it, we did. Dusseldorf in January's no picnic, I can tell you, mate. Here,

  [Finds photo of him and the lads] 

  Barry Taylor : Ahhh here we are, look at this.

  Trevor : Desperate looking bunch.

  Barry Taylor : Do you mind? Salt of the earth, these lads. We were known as The Magnificent Seven.

  Trevor : What, throughout Germany?

  Barry Taylor : No, in our hut, amongst ourselves like, aye. Yes. There's Bomber, strong as an ox, gentle as a kitten. Wayne, oohh, no fraulein was safe from Bavaria to The Baltic with this one, mate. That's uh, that's Dennis. He was our anchor, Trev. And uh, yes, that's Neville next to me, bit of a worrier, Nev, he'd give you the shirt off his back. Come to think of it, I think this is his shirt actually.

  Trevor : Who's that mad looking maniac there?

  Barry Taylor : Oz. He was in The Falklands with me. First person to be thrown off the island since we saw the Argies off. Aye. Last one's Moxey. He was an arsonist from Kirby. Ah happy days.

  Trevor : How long is it since you've seen these mates of yours, then?

  Barry Taylor : Day we took the picture.

  Trevor : [Sarcastically]  So you're really close.

  Barry Taylor : 'Ere, 'ere 'ere, oi. It's not like that, friendship forged in adversity, it's, that's there for life, that is. Look, each one of us knows, that if the chips were down, if we're in dire straights, like, all we'd have to do is send out an SOS and the others would down tools and come running.

  [Barry falls through the floor] 

  Barry Taylor : Oh, bloody hell!

  Trevor : I'll tell you something. If you ever wanna get this place finished, you better look your mates up again.
