“She is attractive, but brown rice and pop tarts, chamomile tea and economy vodka? That’s a car crash of a shopping basket.” (Mark)

“While we’re at it, there are systems for a reason in this world. Economic stability, interest rates, growth. It’s not all a conspiracy to keep you in little boxes, alright? It’s only the miracle of consumer capitalism that means you’re not lying in your own sh*t, dying at 43 with rotten teeth.” (Mark)

“Jeremy, there are many things I would do to help you. But digging a hole in the wintry earth with my bare hands so that you can bury the corpse of a dog you killed is not one of them.” (Mark)

“I’m not marrying out of spite, I’m marrying out of fear. There’s a very big difference.” (Mark)
