Memorable Quotes from
"Garth Marenghi's Darkplace" (2004)

Garth Marenghi: [reading an extract from one of his novels] "John looked down and was horrified to see that his hands had fallen off and been replaced by maggots. Maggots. Maggots. Maggots. Maggots.
[turns the page]
Garth Marenghi: Maggots...

Garth Marenghi: I realized that man needs to keep in touch with his primal urges, whether through sport or through violent movies. Otherwise, we'd end up like Bill Wyman.

Dean Learner: She was like a candle in the wind... unreliable.

Garth Marenghi: The broccoli had gone. But the hurt remained.

Garth Marenghi: With this show, I wanted people to laugh and cry... and shit themselves all at the same time.

Thornton Reed: [after firing a shotgun to break up a bar brawl] Knock it off you two, this is a hospital!

Dean Learner: If he gets word of this my arse is grass and he's got a lawnmower if you know what I mean?

Padre: [to Dr. Rick Dagless] You're the most sensitive man I know, and I know god.

Thornton: I need to crack this, Dag, cos if not, Won Ton will be all over me like knockers in a wind tunnel.

Lucien: Not my fault. Monkey bastard hands!

Dr. Rick Dagless: I'm finding food a real bore at the moment.
Dr Lucien Sanchez: What I do is sometimes get a tin of soup, heat it up, poach an egg in it, serve that with a pork pie sausage roll.
Dr. Rick Dagless: I'll get a Wimpy.

Padre: If you need me I'll be right here in the vestry, if not I'll be out in the jeep.

Padre: [opens arms to give Dag a hug] Come on, come to Padre, embrace the infinite.

Dr. Rick Dagless: What's this?
Dr Liz Asher: A dreamcatcher
Dr. Rick Dagless: What's a dreamcatcher?
Dr Liz Asher: It's like a wind chime.
Dr. Rick Dagless: Then why didn't you say wind chime?

Dr. Rick Dagless: [talking to mother about hospitalized son] He's a good kid, you've got to keep him off the smack though or this will keep happening.

Garth Marenghi: As a horror writer I don't ask for much. I just hope I've changed then way you think about life.

Dean Learner: Garth is the most significant artist that I've worked with and I've worked with Lulu and four other people, so were talking crème de la crème.

Garth Marenghi: I've always loved the great tragedies, King Lear, The Poseidon Adventure, Superman 2.

Dr Liz Asher: [talking about a patient that has turned green] Apparently she was in for a routine operation to get her toe shortened which was really long like a finger, the next thing she knew this happened. All in all you could say that she's a little off color.
[Thorton, Liz, and Dagless all laugh]
Dr Lucien Sanchez: [shouts] You shut your mouth Liz!
Dr. Rick Dagless: No you shut your mouth Sanch, that was funny.

Thorton Reed: I've been there hombre, when I heard my wife died I could barely finish my lunch.

Dr. Sanchez: I know "mon" means man, but I don't think "Och" means anything.

Garth Marenghi: I have never exploded. But I know what it would be like. Don't ask me how. I just know. I've always just known.
Dean Learner: Now I don't know whether someone close to Garth had exploded - whether it was a colleague or a pet - but you could tell that scene meant a lot to him. There were tears on set. Not from Garth. He was strong for the crew. But I wept. I'm not ashamed of that.

Dean Learner: I had a cat once. I dropped a safe on it. It was a write-off, so I stood on its head.

Thornton Reed: [firing a shotgun at possessed kitchen equipment hovering outside his office window] Hurry up, Liz, I can't hold these plates off forever!

Dr. Rick Dagless: What I couldn't work out was how he'd managed to make another man pregnant. I guess we'll never know. So, just to restate, that is something we'll never know, you're not going to find out later.
 
i havn't seen this before, after reading this thread and getting a few recomendations from friends when it was originally shown - should i watch the final 2 episodes in 15mins on channel 4?i intend to borow them in the coming weeks off someone. better to watch it chronologicolallally or does it matter?
