Quotes

Clifford : Look at this! Front page news, again. Suppose the whole lot of you'd been drowned.
Ginger Spice : Well, we weren't though, were we?

Sporty : Look, Clifford, we're old enough to take responsibility for our own lives, do you know what I mean?
Clifford : You don't have a life, you have a schedule! You are part of a well-oiled, global machine! There are people everywhere working their butts off for you! People like Deborah, here.
Deborah : Oh, can we leave my butt out of this, please?
Ginger Spice : Oh, just don't be so uptight, Clifford.
Clifford : Uptight? Uptight? You've got a live gig here tomorrow. It's my job to see that you turn up. My bum is on the line, here!
Posh : Can you please leave butts and bums out of this, for one minute?
Sporty : Clifford, some things are more important than gigs, you know.
Clifford : Like what?
Ginger Spice : Like self respect and our freedom, for a start!
Baby : Yeah, and friendship!
Clifford : What are you saying? You-you don't want to turn up here, tomorrow night?
Ginger Spice : [defiantly] Well, maybe we don't.
Baby : What'd you say that for?
Ginger Spice : I don't know, I just said it.

[the Spice Girls have all just stormed out after a huge row about an incident where they ran off with two competition winners and several of them fall into the River Thames]
Clifford : So what do you think? No I don't want to hear what you think?
[pauses]
Clifford : What do you think?
Deborah : I think you have definitely, definitely lost
Clifford : I think I may have just started the breakup of The Spice Girls
Clifford : [as Deborah stalks off] AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!

Deborah : [finding Clifford alone in a bar] I thought I'd find you here.
Clifford : Sorry, there's only room for one depressed personality here.
Deborah : Come on, Clifford. At least you're still alive.
Clifford : That's the bit that depresses me.
Deborah : If it makes you feel better, I have a degree in politics, philosophy and economics, and I spend my entire life worrying whether Mel C is wearing the right Nike Air Max.
Clifford : By the way, did you sort them out yet?
Deborah : Yes.
Clifford : Whoo.
Deborah : Mind you, I'd rather be us than the girls. Fame is such a fickle thing.
Elvis Costello : [the bartender] So, what can I get you?
Deborah : Gin and Tonic, please. Wait a minute. Can you make that a double?
Elvis Costello : Yes.
Deborah : You know what happens now, don't you?
Clifford : What's That?
Deborah : We sit here more and more self-pitying, telling tragic tales of lost lovers, and deaden the pain with bursting passion and ruining our professional relationship.
Clifford : [a lascivious leer on his face] I'm up for that.
