Life in a Bottle |
One day, I want to be a writer. Until then, I'm living in a sleepy seaside town. "All magic comes at a price!" |
| Adam: | And does he love you? |
| Me: | Of course he does. (pauses) He'd better love me! |
| Adam: | I like how you picked up a pair of scissors as you said that. |
| Me: | (picks up "Zoo" from our magazine delivery) Who's been ordering dirty magazines? |
| Adam: | They're not dirty. |
| Me: | Yeah, there's nothing dirty about the naked lesbians on the front cover. |
| Adam: | (open magazine, a picture of two women making out on a sofa) See, it's an advert for the sofa. Oh look, there's another advert for the same sofa! |
| Ricky: | (to me) Hey, it's my favourite lady! |
| Adam: | Why, thank you! |
| Me: | You're not a woman. |
| Adam: | You don't know that. |
| Me: | True. |
| Adam: | At the weekends, I become Nancy! (disappears to his office) |
| Viv: | Who set the sweets up like that? |
| Me: | (pointing at Adam) He did it! |
| Adam: | Yeah, because- |
| Viv: | Children, please! |
| Adam: | (picks up a bag of haribo smurfs and puts on a squeaky voice) No! Don't eat us! Don't eat us! |
| Me: | You are a madman. |
| Me: | (to a cashier) Thank you, have a nice day! |
| Me: | (to Rob) I really need to get out of that habit. I'm not serving people, I'm being served. |
| (ten minutes later) | |
| Me: | (to another cashier) Thanks, have a nice day! |
| Rob: | I thought you were going to stop that. |
| Me: | Is that a butterfly tattoo on your chest? |
| Adam: | Yeah. I have lots of butterflies (lifts his shirt) see, they go all the way onto my back. |
| Me: | That's neat. |
| Adam: | And I have fairies on my back. I'll show you when we have no customers. |
| Me: | Surely the tattooist looked at you funny when you asked for fairies. |
| Adam: | Nah, he was alright. |
| Viv: | Are you scared of Harry? |
| Adam: | No... |
| Viv: | He said you always had a right cob on. |
| Adam: | Yeah, he thinks I'm grumpy. |
| Me: | You are grumpy. |
| Adam: | (smiles) No hours for you next week. |
| (when Elliot came into work to take over from me, as my shift had ended) | |
| Adam: | Elliot, she called me grumpy. I'm not grumpy, am I? |
| Elliot: | (hesitantly) No. |
| Adam: | I love you, Elliot. |
| (After me and my manager have spent twenty minutes moving a fixture closer to the wall) | |
| Me: | Are you happy now? We moved the shelf five inches closer to the wall. |
| Adam: | Hey, to some blokes, five inches is a lot! (grins and heads to his office) |
| Mark: | Skeletons have spines, don't they? |
| Me: | ...yeah? |
| Mark: | Oh, I meant pigs have spines! |
| [whilst watching a film] | |
| Me: | Can you hear next door's baby crying? |
| Chloe: | Yeah. It's not even the sad part yet. |
| Me: | I know. |
| Chloe: | I really want to knock the wall down and hug that baby. |
| [seeing my jobseekers advisor, David] | |
| David: | So what happened? |
| Me: | I lost both of my jobs. |
| David: | You never do things by halves, do you? (laughs) |
| Tiago: | It's your last night tonight, isn't it? |
| Me: | Yeah |
| Tiago: | Thank fuck! |
| [hugs me] |
| [after I have sneezed three times in a row] | |
| Chloe: | You have hay fever. |
| Me: | You don't get hay fever in January. |
| Chloe: | So you have snow fever. |
I loved Star Trek but I think it was missing a scene where Kirk makes Spock take him and the Tribble out for ice cream.
SAGGERS
