Quotes 

• Trelkovsky : There is something odd going on in my building. I quite often see people in the toilets, on the other side of the courtyard.

  Simon : What are you? A peeping Tom, now?

  Scope : You mean, people together in the shithouse? Like an orgy?

  Trelkovsky : No, no, they just stand there for hours, you know? Absolutely dead still.

  Scope : They're obviously playing with themselves.

  Trelkovsky : Not at all.

  Simon : He just told you. They stand dead still. Can you play with yourself without moving?

• Viviane - Office Worker : Would anybody mind if the subject were changed?

  Scope : And what do you want talk about then? Women's lib? Social security?
