Tamsin Greig: Fran

Quotes 

• Fran : [Bernard is hooked on poker but has run up huge debts, his creditors demand payment or they will repossess his shop or cut his legs off. He turns to Fran and Manny for help]  Ugh. Manny, do you still have those funny looking sunglasses you got in Whitstable?

  Manny : Yeah, they're in the bathroom. You think they're funny looking?

  [Fran nods] 

  Bernard Black : I'm going to be made homeless and short and you're chatting.

  Fran : Relax. Everything's going to be fine.

• Fran : [posing as loud American tourists]  Look. A real English bookie. There. Are you happy now?

  Manny : What is this with the tiny television? Why can't we go someplace and play cards?

  Fran : Why you wanna play cards? You lose!

• Martin : I couldn't help overhearing. I know of a game if you're interested.

  Fran : Anything. Anything to shut him up. Hey mister, do you mind if I sit in? I wanna make sure he doesn't lose too much. Hundred grand here, hundred grand there - it adds up.

  Martin : That's not gonna be a problem.
