Coupling quotes from series 1 episode 1  
Every time I feel a bit down... there is nothing better than watch an episode of Coupling (or Blackadder :P).

As [livejournal.com profile] koalathebear mentioned that she has the series in her 'to watch' pile... I remembered that they have great quotes and also that I had in mind to make more icons from it...

I am not inspired to make icons right now... maybe because I have Chinese exam next week so they just have to wait. However, I did get some parts of dialogue from the first episode of the series (I may get more when I watch more episodes... as I'm going crazy with Chinese, it may be soon since I need something funny to forget my misery ;)

Just a quick synopsis: Steve is trying to dump Jane at the same time that Patrick is trying to dump Susan. However Jane doesn't accept Steve's breaking up, and Susan dumps Patrick instead of he dumping her. Jeff, Steve's best friend is there to give Steve advices, meanwhile, Sally, Susan's best friend and her beautician, is there to support Susan and maybe get a chance with Patrick...


Quotes!!


Sally: Since thirty I had to put a daily limit on facial expressions. I only ever smile at single men so I can justify the lost of elasticity.
Susan: Is this how your mind works all the time?




Jeff: So you dumped her and then she does that suggesting thing…
Steve: ‘I’m wearing stockings’! And she has never worn them before! Not once in the entire relationship. I’ve begged.
Jeff: But Steve, you’re entitled to stockings.
Steve: Am I?
Jeff: You’re still in ‘the zone’.
Steve: The what?
Jeff: The boyfriend zone.




Jeff: Steve, do you know how I call this kind of woman, you know, the type that you can’t get rid of?
Steve: Is this going to be really tasteless? Am I going to be ashamed to be your friend?
Jeff: It’s a technical term. It’s a harmless expression.
Steve: All right. Hit me.
Jeff: Unflushable.
Steve: Turn around Jeff, walk away…
Jeff:… because they keep pomping around…
Steve: Go Jeff! Go! Go!... Don’t look back! Go!




Sally: Mary Kelly things you’re a complete idiot.
Patrick: Then, why does she keeps looking at my arse when we’re talking.
Sally: She is lip reading.




Steve: You got to let me out! Please!
Jane: Look, why don’t we give it a year?
Steve: Because if we give a year I’ll end up horribly murdering you and hacking up your body.
Jane: Okay… How long do you suggest?




Patrick: All right. I wasn’t going to say anything, but, actually, I’ve been seeing someone else too.
Susan: You’re been cheating on me!
Patrick: What?
Susan: Is that true, Patrick?
Patrick: But you were cheating on me!
Susan: I wasn’t cheating! I wasn’t being faithful! You’ve been faithful that means you were cheating. And I thought I knew you!




Jeff (to Patrick): Dumped and still here? (pointing at him) You’re an unflushable!




Susan (to Jeff): Your friend Steve. Is he all right?
Jeff: Yeah, he’s having a bit of trouble at the moment. He’s got an unflushable.
Susan: Oh! I see. You mean he can’t…
Jeff: No much can’t, he won’t.
Susan: He won’t?!
Jeff: At the last moment he gets all sentimental.




Patrick (to Sally): You’re smiling to me. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that.
Sally: You’re a single man now, you qualify for my elasticity.
Patrick: Is that as good as it sounds?




Steve and Jeff are playing videogames.
Steve: So, how well you know Susan? Are you close?
Jeff: Susan? I got her cicle in my organizer. Wow wait! Are you thinking about asking her out?




Jeff: Where were you, zonewise, with Jane when you asked Susan out?
Steve: Well, you know, pretty much… in there…
Jeff: Yeah, yeah, but where exactly? You know, like in… middle, edge…
Steve: During.
Jeff: During?! During!?
Steve: Yes, it’s not as bad as it sounds, you know. I was in the toilet keeping a go with Jane. When I was leaving to get a condom I asked out Susan.
Jeff (doing reverences to Steve): The zone has a new king!!! But you will rule alone!!!




Susan: Jeff!
Jeff: Hello!
Susan: That Steve guy. How well you know him? As you close?
Jeff: Close? We’re porn buddies.
Susan: Porn buddies?
Jeff: Oh yeah!
Susan: Is it code? Were you together in prison or something?




Jeff: Many years ago, Steve and I exchanged house keys.
Susan: Are you sure this isn’t code?
Jeff: It’s not code. In the event of Steve’s death, the first thing I will do, upset that I would be, is going straight to his house and remove all the pornography before his parents can find it. And he’s pressed to do the same for me. That’s so close we are!




Sorry if I missed or mistaked any word. I tried to write it all carefully but there are a couple of expressions that I'm not completely sure about.
This is just a tiny part of the episode. Let me tell you that there are plenty funny moments I haven't included!!

Good luck on your Chinese exam! My DVD order of Blackpool finally got processed today. I ordered it ages and ages ago and had one of those annoying situations where I ordered it, it was taking ages to come and then I saw it in a shop but couldn't buy it becuase I had ordered it :D

That's just freaky. I watched my first episodes of Coupling last night (first three of season 1) and I'm in love. It's such a great show, seriously. Jack Davenport is fantastic. Anyway that is a WEIRD coincidence!

And yay Blackadder. :)
