Miriam: As the sound of the playgrounds faded, the despair set in. Very odd, what happens in a world without children's voices.
Julian Taylor: Y'know that ringing in your ears? That 'eeeeeeeeee'? That's the sound of the ear cells dying, like their swan song. Once it's gone you'll never hear that frequency again. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Patric: This never fucking happened, so don't go telling tales 'cause we'll be watching you. At work, when you sleep, when you have a piss, we'll be watching. All the *fucking* time. Theodore Faron: Jeez, your breath stinks. Patric: No, it doesn't. T...
Theodore Faron: Julian? I haven't seen you in twenty years. You look good. The picture the police have of you doesn't do you justice. Julian Taylor: What do the police know about justice?
Theodore Faron: I can't really remember when I last had any hope, and I certainly can't remember when anyone else did either. Because really, since women stopped being able to have babies, what's left to hope for?
Theodore Faron: Who's the father? Kee: Whiffet! I'm a virgin. Nah! Be great, though, wouldn't it? Fuck knows. I don't know half the wankers' names.
Jasper: What did you do for your birthday? Theodore Faron: Nothing. Jasper: Oh come on, you must have done something. Theodore Faron: Nope. Woke up, felt like shit. Went to work, felt like shit. Jasper: That's called a hangover, Amigo.
Kee: Froley. Theodore Faron: Froley. Kee: Name my baby Froley. Theodore Faron: It's the first baby in 18 years. You can't call it Froley. Kee: Says who?
Kee: [giving birth] Fuck! Theo, I can't fucking do it! Theodore Faron: Yes, you fucking can!
Luke: Julian was wrong. She thought it could be peaceful. But how can it be peaceful when they try to take away your dignity?
[first lines] Newsreader: Day 1,000 of the Siege of Seattle. Newsreader: The Muslim community demands an end to the Army's occupation of mosques. Newsreader: The Homeland Security bill is ratified. After eight years, British borders will remain close...
Julian Taylor: You're smoking? Theodore Faron: Yeah; it's not working.
Kee: I want to call her Bazouka. Theodore Faron: Bazouka? Kee: You don't like it? Theodore Faron: I was getting used to Froley.
Kee: Dylan. I'll call my baby Dylan. It's a girl's name, too.
Theodore Faron: Oh yeah, there you go, that's what you always do when it gets tough, you walk away. Julian Taylor: This is our stop.
Radio Announcer: And now one for all the nostalgics out there. A blast from the past all the way back from 2003, that beautiful time when people refused to accept that the future was just around the corner.
Theodore Faron: A hundred years from now there won't be one sad fuck to look at any of this. What keeps you going? Nigel: You know what it is, Theo? I just don't think about it.
Jasper: Your baby is the miracle the whole world has been waiting for.
