Quotes 

  • [as many things has gone bad on Christmas eve] 

    Richie : Don't worry, Eddie, it's only half past eight.

    Eddie : [slowly and loud]  Half past eight! And all's crap!

  • Richie : You know, what we need are some girls with really big breasts.

    Eddie : You've been saying that for 20 years.

    Richie : Not for me you fool, for the baby.

  • Eddie : Not sprouts, I hate sprouts.

    Richie : Will you stop whinging Eddie, nobody likes sprouts.

    Eddie : Then why are we having them then?

    Richie : Because it's Christmas.

  • Richie : [carrying the turkey to the table on a tray]  Cor, what a magnificent bird!

    Eddie , Spudgun , Hedgehog : Where?

    Richie : Ha ha, gets 'em every year!

  • Spudgun : [looking at the baby that's been left on their doorstep]  Poor little mite. What a way to spend your first Christmas.

    Eddie : What, lying on your back with a bottle in your mouth? It sounds pretty good to me!

  • Spudgun : [looking at the baby, getting emotional]  Poor little blighter. His first Christmas, no family, no friends, no Christmas presents.

    Richie : Well, he's got us now. We'll look after him.

    Spudgun : Yeah, he can have my Christmas present. It's a box of Terry's All Gold. We'll have to wait for his little teeth to come through before he can manage the chewy ones.

    Eddie : Yeah, look... he can have my Frankenstein mask I was going to scare the shit out of Richie with later.

    [he holds the mask close to Richie's face, Richie yelps in fright] 

    Hedgehog : [takes out a bottle with a picture of a tiger on it]  Yeah, and he can have my bottle of aftershave. It's a new one. It's called "Grrr".

    [suddenly Richie is having a realisation as he looks at Eddie, Spudgun and Hedgehog kneeling around the baby's crib, wearing paper crowns] 

    Richie : Gold... Frankenstein... and "Grrr"... And you're all wearing crowns... And I'm a virgin!

    Eddie : I thought you said you weren't?

    Richie : No, I know, but I am really, I was fibbing to look hunky.

    Eddie : Oh. Didn't work, did it?

    Richie : No. But enough of that... Guys, if I was you I'd stay on my knees. This is it. This is the Second Coming.

    Eddie , Spudgun , Hedgehog : What?

    Richie : [points at them]  Well, look, the three kings. Gold, Frankenstein, and "Grrr". The virgin birth.

    [he notices the blue towel he's still wearing over his head from playing peek-a-boo to stop the baby crying] 

    Richie : And look! A blue head-scarf! I mean, that really tops it off! It's all slotting into place. I knew I was special. I always knew I was different from the other people. That's why I never got a shag! I was being kept pure, because I'm better than everyone else in the whole world! Oh, I had a few pretty narrow squeaks though. Ho ho, yes!

    [pause] 

    Richie : No, I didn't really, I'm lying to myself.

  • Spudgun : [Goes to sit down at the dinner table]  What's that smell?

    Eddie : That's lunch.

    Spudgun : Oh, thank God for that! Thought I had an accident.

  • Spudgun : [the baby messes his nappy]  I think his nappy needs changing.

    Richie : What?

    Eddie : Well, go on Richie, your his... mother.

    Richie : Oh come one, guys, this is the twentieth century, it's not fair.

    Spudgun : But we're not worthy, oh holy one.

    Eddie : Oh yes, oh majestic... thing

    Dave Hedgehog : Yeah, oh one... what he said.

    Richie : What do you mean what he said, you're supposed to be a wise man! Oh never mind, I'll do it, who'd be a woman?

    [He undoes the nappy and the smell makes them all wretch] 

    Eddie : Are you sure he's the son of God?

    Richie : Nobody smoke! Eddie, got the mop, the bucket and the bleach.

    Spudgun : What? You can't put bleach on a baby's bottom. Here, let me, I come from a large family.

    Richie : You'd have to, wouldn't you, mate?

    [Spudgun clocks him] 

  • Eddie : [Deleted scene]  Now, where's mine?

    Richie : Oh right.

    [Hums the 20th Century Fox theme and unwraps a poor self-portrait] 

    Eddie : What is it?

    Richie : It's a picture.

    Eddie : Oh, a picture. What of?

    Richie : Me. Self-portrait. Don't you like it?

    Eddie : Well, it's bollocks, isn't it Richie?

    Richie : No, no, it's one of mine. Although he is awfully good! We do have a similar style, don't we? In fact, a lot of people tell me my paintings look like Bollocks. I thought I'd go well next to the dining room table.

    Eddie : Yes, that should help me lose a lot of weight.

    Richie : Or hey, what about sticking it in the toilet?

    Eddie : Not a bad idea, although I'm not sure the flush mechanism could handle it.

    Richie : What?

    Eddie : I've got the perfect place for it!

    [Transition to the living room, Eddie is directing the portrait] 

    Eddie : Right a bit, I think. No, left a bit, down a bit, hold it there. Yep, that looks about dandy.

    [Smashes portrait over Richie] 

    Eddie : Yep, that looks lovely.

    Richie : [Glares at Eddie]  You're a philistine, Edward Hitler, that's your problem. It took me fifteen minutes to paint that!
