++ GUIDES :: COUPLING SERIES ONE++
GO TO : Patrick | Episode Descriptions | Quotes | Links
What does Ben have to say about his character?
"He’s permanently fifteen, as most of the men in the series are, and I can sort of identify with that, with sex being permanently on the brain, that’s the way you relate to the world at that age. But as far as all the baggage is concerned, Patrick would tell you to leave it in the hall, take it with you when you go. He doesn’t have any baggage as he doesn’t have anything to put in it. There’s just air between his ears and hugeness between his legs – I’m described as a tripod in the series. I can relate to that..." - BBC press kit

FLUSHED
Sally: "So,
back on your own again, eh? Back out there."
Patrick: "You're smiling at 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?"
Susan(talking
about her breasts): "I wasn't aware you'd assessed them individually!"
Patrick: "You were asleep, I was bored!"
Susan: "What's wrong with the left one?"
Patrick: "Oh don't be like that. There has to be a second place!"
SIZE MATTERS
Sally: "A
motor show?"
Patrick: "Yes. I thought we could go together. You like cars right? Everybody
likes cars."
Sally: "Would this be a date?"
Patrick: "I'm sorry?"
Sally: "I'd love to go Patrick, but strictly as your friend"
Patrick: "What do you mean 'friend' exactly?"
Sally: "I wouldn't be your date, I'd be your friend"
Patrick: "No, still not with you."
Sally: "Ok, let's take this slowly. What do you call someone you go out with
but your don't try to sleep with?"
Patrick: "Men?"
Sally: "Now, since I'm only a friend date, do you want to take this ticket back
and get an upgrade?"
Patrick: "Hey, no! We can go as this 'friends' thing."
Sally: "I'm never going to sleep with you Patrick, ever, ever, ever!"
Patrick(takes ticket back): "Ok!"
SEX, DEATH AND NUDITY
Susan: "I'm
asking you a favour and sex isn't involved"
Patrick: "And you're admitting that up front, see where you're going
wrong?"
Susan: "Does
your dick do all the thinking?"
Patrick: "I don't know, I'll ask it."
Patrick (trying to persuade Sally to go with him to the funeral): "There's going to be a lot of old people there, you'd be the most moist."
INFERNO
Jeff: "New
haircut? "
Patrick: "Yeah, I've got a lot of big meetings coming up. Wanted the
hard man look."
Steve: "Isn't it a bit, um.."
Patrick: "What?"
Jeff: "Gay?"
Patrick: "This is not a gay cut! This is a hard man cut!"
Steve: "What specifically did
you tell your hairdresser?"
Patrick: "I said I wanted a hard man."
Patrick (to Steve): "I can't believe you said you loved her! She wasn't even naked!"
Patrick: "I
like films with lesbians in them cos it's nice to think that there
are attractive women out there who can't find a boyfriend."
Steve: "No, Patrick, they're lesbians"
Patrick: "That's what I said!"
THE GIRL WITH TWO BREASTS
Jeff: "I
see women as people in their own right"
Patrick: "In many ways, they are."
Patrick: "Wobble
wars "
Steve: "What?"
Patrick: "Wobble wars! The title for the new porn film about battling
breast brains! "
Steve: "In
the event of a mind ray alert, stand next to Patrick."
Patrick: "The
girl with two brains."
Steve: "3 brains, Patrick"
Patrick: "Oh yeah! Forgot about that one!"
THE CUPBOARD OF PATRICK'S LOVE
Jane: "Why
do you never come and talk to me, Patrick?"
Patrick: "Well, I've never really had to. There's always been blokes
around."
Jane: "What
do you do when you're unhappy, Patrick?"
Patrick : "It's never really come up."
Jane: "What do you do when you really need someone?"
Patrick: "Pull."
Jane: "Why
do you have so many videos, and why have they all got girls names on
them?"
Patrick: "Well, if I tape a film like Basic Instinct say, and I don't
want to forget which tape the film is on, I give the tape a name like
Paula or Astrid"
Jane: "Do you think I'm a complete idiot Patrick?"
Patrick: "Well, I hadn't really thought about it!"
Sally: "You really don't have enough blood for both ends of your body do you Patrick?"
Patrick: "And that's a guarantee!"
