GO TO : Patrick | Episode Descriptions | Quotes | Links
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! "

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!"
