EXTRACT: Everyone is...pretending that nothing is going on. Our guy reads the numbers, doesn't flinch. He carefully folds up the piece of paper and then starts tapping on a glass to get every ones attention. He stands up and says I've got something I'd like to announce. Everyone shuts up and listens right. Trying not to laugh. The guy turns to his wife and says "Our marriage is over you fucking nagging bitch. I hate you" He then turns to the boss and says "Stick your job up your ass you fucken tight prick. I quit"

EXTRACT: You know what he was don't ya...? He was the deputy secretary of the B.L.F in the seventies. A man is but the sum total of his deeds. Look at him now...Poor old cunt. He was a paid up member of the communist party. They should stuff him and put him up next to Phar Lap. He's kicked more fucken heads than we've had hot meals. (loud) You want a beer Dickie?... Ah you fucken heard that didn't you?
