Quotes

• David Brent: I don't look upon this like it's the end. I look upon it like it's moving on. It's almost like my work here is done. I can't imagine Jesus going, "oh, I've told a few people here in Bethlehem I'm the son of God, can I just stay with Mum and Dad now?" "No, you've got to move on. You've got to spread the word. You've got to go to Nazareth, please." And that's very much like me.

• Helena: Private life, then, just to flesh out David Brent the man. Is there a better half?
  David Brent: "David quipped, 'Why buy a book when you can join the library?'"
  Helena: So you play the field?
  David Brent: Well... I don't like using chicks and shit, but I'm just chilling out while I'm young, I suppose.
  Helena: And is there a chick in tow at the moment?
  David Brent: Ooh, I don't kiss and tell.
  Helena: I'm just trying to figure out if you're in a relationship at the moment.
  David Brent: "Brent says, 'no comment!'"
  Helena: Right, so you don't have a girlfriend?
  David Brent: Well, what is a "girlfriend", you know?
  Helena: Um, someone you'd have sex with?
  David Brent: Alright, don't get coarse in a magazine for the public. I don't think you'll win a Pulitzer for filth.
