Cluster F-Bomb: "I knew it was shite, long before you told me it was shite. But at least, I write shite. You sit on your arse at the taxpayers expense and tell people who write shite that what they write is shite. But you know what? My shite shits on your shite." Later on he comments that Sam's script is 'good shite'.

You Just Told Me: Played with; when Nigel calls him a wanker, he's in the middle of a conversation about sperm tests, he asks "How did you know?".
