Quotes:
MIKE MOORE: Look, I just wanna flag my reservations right from the outset about this whole hiring of good-looking girls instead of serious journalists thing. I just hate this bimbo treatment.
EMMA: Well said Mike.
MIKE MOORE: See? We didn’t hire Emma for her looks.
(Emma walks out, annoyed)
MARTIN DI STASIO: Not so well said Mike.
BRIAN: (on shonky businessman) We don’t want an interview. A refusal makes him look guilty.
EMMA: Yes, we reverse the presumption of innocence.
BRIAN: Exactly!
EMMA: That was a criticism.
MARTIN DI STASIO: We’re gonna knock this over in ten minutes.
MARTIN DI STASIO: You must be the only person in Australia who gets sucked in to buying an apple pie.
STU: Well, I like ‘em! I like ‘em, okay? They’re alright.
MIKE MOORE: I thought we’d agreed this was a designated non-smoking area?
HUGH: I thought we’d agreed you’d never come in here.
EMMA: You name me one woman on Australian television who is not good-looking.
MIKE MOORE: Well… the matron on ‘A Country Practice’.
