Quotes 

• Tony Costello : The only thing I have of value, is this

  [pulls out Necklace with a tooth on it] 

  Tony Costello : Jimi Hendrix's tooth, there was a fight in a pub down Oxford Street, someone planked him, and I picked it up. I knew he was a genius even then.

• Tony Costello : [to Les and Beano]  Chrissake. This was about us. This was our second shot, and it was working. Anybody who was at Antwerp saw it. We were fucking brilliant; we were better than we ever were. We were a great band. You stupid bastards, why couldn't you bury the past before it buried us?

• Karen Knowles : [after almost running Beano over as he runs from the tax man]  Beano!

  Beano : What the fuck are you doing here?

  Tony Costello : How do you feel about getting the Fruits together again, Beano?

  Beano : Not a moment too soon, my old son!

• Beano : What do you think then, Luke?

  Luke Shand : I thought we were shit, guys.

  Les : Kill that racket, Hughie.

  Beano : Come again?

  Luke Shand : We were totally crap, I mean, especially on 'Heartbreaker'. I think we should dump that altogether.

  Tony Costello : It's a classic!

  Luke Shand : Well, maybe we should agree on what key it's in.

  Les : B-flat.

  Ray Simms : C.

  Tony Costello : G.

• Karen Knowles : I had enough rock'n'roll to last a lifetime.

  Tony Costello : So you gave it all up for this?

• Beano : You were engaged to a Guinness heiress, wasn't it?

  Tony Costello : Yeah, but they paid me to go away.

  Beano : Not enough from the look of ya.

  Tony Costello : Never is, man.

• Hughie : Feast your eyes on this magnificent land yacht: tinted windows, air conditioned, twin porto-loos - not to mention an extensive library of pornography courtesy of the Psychedelic Furs world tour of 19 and 88. Step right up, ladies and gentlemen!

  Tony Costello : Hey, Hughie, pongs in here a bit. Think one of the Furs is still in here.

  Hughie : That's pedigree, Tony

  [inhaling deeply] 

  Hughie : . Smell that Dettol, fag ends, vomit!

• Tony Costello : What's the situation, boyfriend-wise?

  Clare : I've had a couple. Nothing serious.

  Tony Costello : I was talking about your mother.

• Tony Costello : Do you know where we could contact him?

  Mrs. Baggot : You're the second lot's been lookin' for him this mornin'. He's at work, at the nursery.

  Tony Costello : He works at a nursery?

  Karen Knowles : Not around children?
