Best Line In Spaced? - Spaced (1999) Discussion

[–] Crosses01 15 years ago

Too hard to pick one.

I always liked:

Tim: So, are you going to go?
Brian: I don't know, it's been such a long time.
Tim: No, I meant are you going to go. Now.
_________________________________________

On Daisy telling Tim that her boyfriend dumped her after she told him she had been cheating on him.

Daisy: But you told me to tell him, you said it would strengthen our relationship.
Tim (laughs): I didn't mean it.
___________________________________________

Daisy: So do you rent downstairs?
Brian: Do you mean...am I gay?
_______________________________________

Brian's whole breakdown in front of the mirror is brilliant.

Brian: Brian. Painter. Loser
________________________________________________________

Daisy: It's times like this I wish I was psychic...don't you Tim?...Sh*t

It's not really a funny line but I love the way Daisy just points at Brian and says 'I think you're sitting on my dog!'.

Bilbo: But what about the Ewoks?
Tim: Jar Jar makes the Ewoks look like *beep* Shaft!

I also loved this one. I can't remember the exact lines, but it went something like this:

Tim: I met a girl last night, she's psychic. She gave me her number.
Daisy: This is our number!
Tim: God she's good.

Nice marmot.

I can't write it down here becuase i don't have the words (if someone could post it that would be great) but the bit in series 2's episode where Tim and Daisy discuss what they are going to do for the night is awsome. Daisy tells her version first and then Tim and then they end up in the bar drinking tequilla!!!

Best episode aswell

:-P

[–] jmalmsten 15 years ago

I've always loved the way the conversation about Brians sexuality carries on afterwards

D: So do you rent downstairs?
B: Do you mean... am I gay?
D: Nnnno, I mean... Do you rent downstairs?
B: Ah... Yes.
D: Allright... Are you gay though?
B: (Thinking really hard about it) Nnnno?

---

Another good Brian-one is:

Twist: I want you to look at me as a whole!
Brian: But, I do!
Twist: I mean, a WHOLE, With a "W"!!!
Brian: Oh...

---

And of course the star wars phantom menace ones

- 1 -
Bilbo: The Phantom Menace was 18 months ago Tim!
Tim: Yeah, I know Bilbo, it's just... It still hurts!

- 2 -
D: So what have you been up to?
T: I've been working out some issues...
D: With your girlfriend?
T: No, with George Lucas!
(cut to Tim burning his Star Wars memorabilia, re-enacting the return of the jedi)

And lastly the classic:

Tim: You are so blind! You so do not understand! You weren't there at the beginning. You don't know how good it was! How important! This is it for you! This jumped-up firework display of a toy advert! People like you make me sick! What's wrong with you? Now, I don't care if you've saved up all your fifty 'p's, take your pocket money and get out! ... - ... - What a prick.

In Series 1 the montage when Tim and Daisy meet up regularly in the cafe which is abruptly interrupted by Daisy's overt depression about her situation.... the way she says.... "Everyday it's the same!" makes me laugh every time!! As does the way they each take it in turn to let out a their crying!

The way she says to Tim after he's been dumped, something like.... "You can't think to lose faith in all woman kind!" ... the loss of breath at the end of the line or the faint surprise in which Daisy takes Tim's admission, whatever way it was intended to be delivered, I found quite funny

Agree with "Timmy... fetch me my tools!" lol!

The club names they give each character in the brilliant club scene are pretty funny.... Brian Can't is the best one! Timothy B, Happy Daiz, Twist O'Lemon and Mike Le Watt!

I also found it amusing they were only drinking water throughout being in the club and the scene in the chill out room between Daisy and Tim when they were saying how great each other was and that they were going to do so well in life.... mimmicking what drunk people often say in that situation.

reply

[–] drwillsutherland 15 years ago

Errrrr, I think you missed the point.

They are doing Ecstasy. It's not mentioned, but the loved-up attitude towards everyone and the constant water-drinking are both signs of ecstasy.

I'm almost 100% about it.

Though this is not a line (It's actually a moment), during the rave at the end of "Epiphanies" the camera freezes on Tyres. His club name is listed as Wilfrid B*ramble. When I saw this I simply lost it!

I'm a big fan of the Beatles' film "A Hard Day's Night" which co-stars Wilfrid Brambell as Paul's granddad. He's absolutely hi-larious in this role. So when I saw Tyres "freeze-frame impersination" of Brambell, I knew right then and there that "Spaced" was truely something special.

I mean how many shows can make a reference that the average American TV watcher, that's watching a VERY "British" British comedy, would totally miss yet that someone such as I could catch? :) Good stuff.

Basically anytime Marsha says, "'Ello, Brian."

But possibly my favorite is from the episode where they all go on the mission to retreive Colin from the animal testing facility. Brian is the last one out the door, and Marsha's back is to him as she's at the table with drink and cig in hand (of course). She stops him without turning around, saying:

"Be sure and come back in one piece, Brian. (Pause) You know which piece I mean."

Before their party...
Tim: "So did you manage to invite some media types then?"
Daisy: "Huh, oh yeah..."
Tim: "Who?"
Daisy: "The paper boy." lol

Daisy: "It's not like we're gonna have a rrraavvve." ...the way she says rave lol!

When they're looking for Colin in the park....

Tim: (shouting) "Colin!! Come here you... Colin!"

Paintballing....

Mike: "Is this your first time kid?"
Bloke: "I'm 36."
Mike: "Is this your first time old man?" lol

Ep 1.

Daisy: "Every day I wake up and it's the same!" ... the way she says same lol!

When Tim is trying to get hold of Sophie but can't on the land line, the way Mike says... "Mobile telephone" makes me lol every time!

Tim: "Where's Colin?"
Daisy: "Oh, he's gone next door."
Tim: "Ohh... Daisy I'm so sorry."
Daisy: "No, he's not dead!"
Tim: "Oh its ok, my mum always used to use 'gone next door' as a cover to avoid telling me my pets died when I was a kid."
Mike: "Woahhh woahh so you mean when you told me Flopsy had gone next door..."

The way he says 'woahh' cracks me up!

^ YES!!

That is the greatest line. My wife and I both agree on that one. Tim delivers it so matter of factly.

Sorry, my reply is like two pages after what I was commenting on (this board is rarely used properly, haha).

The line is:

Brian: Do you think I should lose the waistcoat?
Tim: I think you should burn it . Because if you lose it, you might find it again

I also love (copied off the Spaced quote wiki):

Bilbo: Will you come back?
Tim: Well, I like it here, Bilbo. What makes you think I want to come back?
Bilbo: This.
[Bilbo produces an answering machine from nowhere and presses play]
Tim: [On machine; sobbing] Look, B-Bilbo, t-this is Tim. Please can I come back?! I don't like it here!
Tim: [Sheepish] You got that, did you?
Bilbo: I would have come in anyway. The place just isn't the same without you there.
Tim: [Warmly] I'm already there.
Bilbo: [Alarmed] What?!
Tim: I mean I'll come back.
Bilbo: Oh, right. Frightened me for a moment there.

I included the first bit because the joke of the answering machine is so great. The fact that he left the message, but especially the fact that Bilbo pulls, from nowhere, an answering machine that apparently runs on batteries.

But the best part is Bilbo's alarmed and confused expression when Tim says "I'm already there".

Anyway, this cake is great. It's so delicious and moist.
