Quotes 

• JJ : You see, all Jess needs is to feel important. Maureen, she needs to feel... loved. And you, you just... you just need to grow a brain.

  Martin : Fair enough.

• Martin : You know how I feel when I wake up in the morning? Humiliated. How do I feel at lunch time? Humiliated. My life flows in a steady stream of humiliation. I'm not sad, not angry, just humiliated.

• Martin : Has anyone ever told you you're a bit of an idiot?

  Chris : I'm a politician, that's all they *ever* tell me.

• Martin : I underestimated how much they hate me.

• Martin : We belong together, we're a team I mean we're the worst team the world has ever know and if I were picking none of you would have made it to the subs bench but still.

• Martin : I wasn't aware this was a competition.

  Martin : Anyway, to cut a long story short, I decided to kill myself. That's the trouble with suicides, I've learned you can't cut the long story short, because it's the long story that people are interested in. Especially if you're me, which regrettably I was, and still am to this day. So, forgive me if you already knew this, but I'm Martin Sharp, the man who had everything. One wife, two children, three dogs, at least four People's Choice Awards, and five mornings a week on the most successful breakfast show in Britain. They were even offering me Mondays off. So far, so good. I had reached middle-age, unscathed, with money in the bank. Until I met Suzy Jenkins at a launch for a new men's moisturizer. All I can say in my defense, Your Honor, is she looked 25 to me.

• Martin : [about Jess]  Genuinely, I don't know how you've survived her.

  Chris : Ear plugs.

• Jess : Are we in a gang?

  Martin : This is not a gang.
