:: PATRICK ::

 

What does Ben have to say about his character?

 

He’s still a complete himbo, but there are some quite big developments in Patrick’s life. He’s still got his fantastic job in the City, his sports car, his long list of conquests - which is always a joy to play - and is still far from bashful when it comes to sex. But in series two he experienced a new phenomenon; friendship with a girl. And by series three he is distinctly perturbed by the effect Sally is having on him. Despite that, we see him with a girlfriend who he takes to a dinner party to meet the others, which is a bit of a turn-up for the books! "

:: QUOTE/UNQUOTE ::

 

SPLIT

 

Patrick: "I got phoned during sex once."
Steve: "Can we please not hear about it!"
Patrick: "Bit embarrassing actually. There I was in the middle of serious full-on sex when my girlfriend phones. She kept going on and on about how I was ignoring her."
Steve: "You don't think it was may be because you were having sex with someone else?"
Patrick: "No, no, I was having sex with her!"

 

Steve: "Do you think this is the sort of place that degrades women?"
Patrick: "We could ask?"

 

 

FAITHLESS

 

Susan: "Need any help translating that one?"
Sally: "These are my ovaries."
Susan: "Please come inside."
Patrick: "Careful Jeff, she's packing ovaries!"

 

UNCONDITIONAL SEX

 

Patrick: "Jane, could you explain to this gentleman why I've been standing in the rain behind an empty car shouting 'Park, you stupid bitch!'"
Jane: "Sorry Officer, I forgot he can't park on his own!"
Patrick: "Arrest this woman!"

 

REMEMBER THIS

 

Patrick: "That's a bit offensive actually! I don't have an agenda. I'm perfectly capable of being friends with women without any kind of agenda."
Steve: "For how long?"
Patrick: "As long as it takes."

 

Patrick: "It's too late for Sally and me. I know her too well, that's why it didn't work out. I mean, by the time I saw her naked she was like, a person. Where's the fun in that?"

 

Patrick: "I know, I know! Ugly women can have feelings too, which frankly doesn't improve them any."

 

 

THE FRECKLE, THE KEY AND THE COUPLE WHO WEREN'T

 

Patrick: "I find radio excellent for driving because it never really distracts you. It's good how you guys do that."

 

Patrick: "I think it's good the way they put radios in hospitals. It's an intelligent use of space."

 

 

THE GIRL WITH ONE HEART

 

Patrick: "I don't get it. If you want the lock back on the door why don't you just tell her? That's what I'd do if my girlfriend made an error in household maintenance."

 

Steve: "Girlfriend is a word you never use!"
Patrick: "Ok, fair point, generally I don't like to use the word 'girlfriend' in case it's mistaken for affection.."

 

PERHAPS, PERHAPS, PERHAPS

 

Susan:"A week after Sally tells you she loves you and you're getting some girls phone number."
Patrick: "We were talking. She's a nurse. It's automatic!"

 

Patrick: "Sally, you are the most wonderful woman in the history of the entire universe. You're incredible. You've got the looks of a Miss World with the brains to match. You're more than a woman. You're like a man! Seriously, you could be a bloke any time you wanted. I mean, a bloke with some pretty serious defects but, hey, who cares about that. I've seen you down drinks with the best of them. I wish I'd had a mother like you, or a grandmother, or any kind of ancestor! Since you said what you said I've had a lot of time to think, but obviously that isn't always possible. None the less, I have been able to consider your application and this is the point, this is the important point, Sally. You need someone good enough for you. You don't want some mutton-headed city boy who spends all his time thinking about his cars and his golf clubs. You want someone who can love you the way you deserve to be loved, the way I want you to be loved. Sally, you need someone who will love you forever, properly. You're my friend, Sally, and I wanna see you with the best. You need Mr Amazing, Mr Incredibly Superbly Fantasticness. Now, in your heart, I'm sure you know I'm right."

 

Sally: "I don't want Mr Superbly Incredibly Fantasticness, you stupid, stupid arse! I want you!"
Patrick: "For God's sake, Sally!"
Sally: "What? What??"
Patrick: "I was talking about me!"
