Quotes 

• Emma Messinger : [on phone]  Have you seen the Mail?

  Oliver Reeder : No, I haven't. I am under 40 and I have a penis. Why?

  Emma Messinger : They've got a big graphic on the night's winners and losers. It's not a great picture of you.

  Oliver Reeder : What, me? I'm in it?

  Emma Messinger : You look very, very pasty and about nine.

  Oliver Reeder : Am I a winner or a loser?

  Emma Messinger : You are a loser.

  Oliver Reeder : I'm a loser? For fuck's sake. Is that Ben on Today in the background? You can even hear him blinking on the radio. This is bollocks. I'm not supposed to be in the paper. I'm just, you know, it's not me who's supposed to be in the paper, is it? It's fucking ridiculous.

  Emma Messinger : Oh, come on, it's only the Mail. Don't worry about it.

  Oliver Reeder : Yeah, I know it's only the Mail, but, you know, my mum gets the Mail.
