Josie Alibrandi:
Dear Guiness Book of Records: I've just been out on a ten minute date. Is that a record?!

Jacob Coote:
You ready?

Josie Alibrandi:
Just let me check my bag for ID. I don't want to be named Jane Doe at the morgue.

Josie Alibrandi:
I swear, the phone companies'd go broke if it weren't for the Italians!

Josie Alibrandi:
Would you like me to refresh your memory?

Jacob Coote:
You get into punch-ups with other girls, you wipe your nose with your sleeve...you're my kind of chick. Why are we such a disaster together?

Jacob Coote:
Do you want to go out with me?

Josie Alibrandi:
You'd have to meet my mother.

Jacob Coote:
I don't meet mothers.

Josie Alibrandi:
Well, I don't go out with guys who don't meet mothers.

Jacob Coote:
All right, forget it, it was a stupid idea anyway.

Josie Alibrandi:
I didn't know you were political.

Josie Alibrandi:
What? Being the leader of the Liberal party?!

Josie Alibrandi:
Are you sure you don't mean in an hour?

Josie Alibrandi:
I have the dubious honour of being Vice-Captain, which is kind of like being runner-up at the Miss Universe beauty pageant. I get to take over if Miss St Martha's becomes ill or gets involved in a sex scandal.

Jacob Coote:
Two things happened to me yesterday. The first was I received all this shit about voting for the first time, which I chucked in the bin, cos I reckon all politicians are a bunch of dickheads. And the other thing was my old man was watching a documentary about insects rooting on fig leaves, so I caught the end of the world news. And I saw this guy who was being chased by his own government, and I didn't understand anything about it except that he was wearing a Nick Cave t-shirt. And then I wondered how a guy my age, with my taste in music, had gotten himself into a situation where his own government was trying to have him shot, just because he had something to say. And I realised I'm lucky because in this country, I can rant and rave and call the Prime Minister a dickhead without the army coming in and shooting me, and stopping you all from listening. And I figured that in this country, we don't vote to keep the best party in - cos there's no such thing - but we vote to keep the worst party out. Because I don't want to end up being watched by some bloke at the other end of the world who thinks that this can't happen to him.
