- Geoff: Look don't tell anyone, but I moonlight as a talent scout for Sale of the Century. edit »
- Violet: If I choose to go behind your back, Jack Carruthers, I'll say it to your face first! edit »
- Jack: I've just been thinkin' about what we were talking about.
DJ: The disco.
Jack: No, no, no, um, about the kids havin' nothing to do.
DJ: Oh, we'll give 'em a disco.
Jack: No, no, no disco. Look, ah, ah, Red McNeill he's a farmer. Ya know, he's got a woolshed on the edge of town.
DJ: Hey, that'd be perfect for a disco!
Jack: No look stop talkin' about the flamin' disco. I've... I've just come out 'ere today to ask for your help. Ah, to start a gym.
DJ: A what?!
Jack: A gymnasium. Healthy body, healthy mind.
DJ: Come on, Sarge, they won't go for that. You'll need guys in black boots with truncheons and guard dogs to keep 'em in the place. You're gonna have to round them up with whips!
edit » - Geoff: DJ, look we've had a few complaints about your coordination of the radio clinics in the morning.
DJ: Complaints? What kind of complaints? I've been here on time every morning. I open up the airwaves, bright and breezy, nice and easy. I make little jokes, I'm real polite with all the customers. Come on, Doc, what's all the kaka?
Geoff: Well it's the little jokes. Um, I'm told that when people call in with their medical complaints...
DJ: Yeah, so I play a little blast from some track. You know, it brightens up the session.
Geoff: Possibly, but um, well for instance say when Mrs Wilkinson called in with her Angina problem.
DJ: Oh, yeah! I played Total Eclipse of the Heart, right? What's the matter hasn't anybody got a sense of humour around here?
edit » - At the disco
Jack: What do you think? (Nudges Violet to take her fingers out of her ears) I said what do you think?
Violet: I thought it was supposed to be a gymnasium.
Jack: Yeah, lost a bit in the translation. Still, they are gettin' exercise I s'pose.
Violet: So are my eardrums.
