Tony Slattery and John Sessions

(Tony's going next door to borrow some coffee for a dinner party) 

Tony: Hi, I need some very sophisticated coffee.
John: Sorry, I don’t touch coffee, I only touch the air.
Tony: You’re doing tai-chi, aren’t you?
John: No, I’m just a wanker, that’s all.
Tony: You seem the perfect person to run the numbers, why don’t             you  come next door? (pause) I’m not a homosexual.

(Documentary – specifically, Stock Exchange Information)
Tony: Of course the price of coffee can rise and can fall and here to talk about is...John Sessions.
John: Thanks, Jack. Coffee, um, is a major problem in the world at the moment insofar that you’re better off in guilt. If of course you do drink the guilt, of course, you’ll have a likelihood of turning into maybe an Aztec insofar as they swallowed a lot of guilt all those centuries ago.

(Escape Movie)
Tony: The plan’s this-
John: I don’t wanna hear your plan, Brett!
Tony: Oh, so you’re American now, are you?
John: Ya goddamn right I am! You know, with God save the Queen and all that…Adolph is laughing at you man, you know that?
Tony: You Texans think you’re so bloody spunky, well you’re not!
John: I’m not from Texas, I was born in Melton Mobridge, you know that?
Tony: I don’t want to know about your flashy American u-towns, we’ve got to tunnel underneath the plantation and get all the coffee out, it’s simple!.
John: If you want the tunnel, you dig it!

(Restoration Comedy)
Tony: Say!
John: Why my lord I was just walking around(?) but three hours ago it slipped through the bottom, came to my ear and my nose, indeed, have faith there, madam, she is coming close with her coffee beans dancing in the air and I, I will be lowered into her cup, my lord?
Tony: So says...so says me lady politic bum hole!
John: Right, yes she would come now, she would walk through the garden, within a spindle of her wickedness, close into thy heart-
Tony: Ha ha ha ha ha!
John: - Enough of this madam, would thy take coffee with thee or would thy bring tea into thy heart and there bring happiness. You, my lord love wit, he’s a clever pretty nobleman, he drinks coffee, tea and also when he’s weird, drinks herbal tea and chamomile.
Tony: Rather would I spite thy blonky-what?!

Richard: I’m coming in to buy this sandwich shop, you little guys never survive, it’s always people like me, the big guys, that make it to the top –don’t you worry about a thing, I've got it taken care of.

(Spaghetti Western)
Paul: You want mayonnaise with that?
Richard: ……if you cut my sandwich, I’ll have to cut you.
Paul: I’ve got a fistful of ham!

(Monty Python)
Richard: No!
Paul: Yes, this is an ex-ham sandwich! I took this ham sandwich away from this shop alone not less than an hour ago-
Richard: No!
Paul: Yes!
Richard: Say it isn’t so!
Paul: I won’t, this is an ex-ham sandwich!

(Horror)
Richard: My god, the ham! It’s crawling up your arm!
