  • Chalkboard: "NO ANECDOTAGE". Fran and Manny also record the number of sales they have on it. []
  • Manny: Did you win or lose?
    Bernard: It's hard to say...
    Manny: Alright. Have you got more money or less money?
    Bernard: That's complicated...
    Manny: You got no money?
    Bernard: ... Yeah. []
  • Bernard: Now! All I need is some kind of system.
    Manny: There's only one system. Bet. Lose. Borrow. Steal. Lose. Take the drugs. Lose. Prison... Death. []
  • Bernard: Is this what you spend your pocket money on? Filthy gambling?!
    Manny: It's not really gambling Bernard. It's the Grand National. It's a moment when the whole nation comes together. Like the opening of a Richard Curtis movie or a... manhunt for a serial killer. []
