The Man with Two Legs (2001)

Ben Miles: Patrick Maitland

Quotes 

• Patrick : There's one thing I don't get here. You've seen this woman on the train and you find her attractive, right?

  Jeff : Yeah.

  Patrick : And you haven't had sex with her?

  Jeff : No.

  Patrick : You see my problem?

  Steve : Let me explain, Patrick. Here on earth, there is a gap between seeing someone you like and having sex with them that we like to call *conversation*. In Jeff's case, it can last for up to ten years.

  Patrick : Are you saying I don't converse? I converse. I talk to women.

  Steve : Well, do the women talk too?

  Patrick : [pause]  Well, they must do.
