LORELAI: Michel, get that please.
MICHEL: I cannot.
LORELAI: Michel, we’ve been over this: we all cover the phone. That includes you.
MICHEL: Don’t misunderstand. I want to answer it, I truly do, but today, today I am suffering from ennui.
LORELAI: Ennui?
MICHEL: Severe ennui. You know what ennui is, yes?
LORELAI: Yes. Um, Webster’s defines ennui as a lazy, soon-to-be-out-of-work French concierge who won’t answer the phone.
MICHEL: Look, I’ve made my peace with the fact that everyone who calls here is a notch above brain dead, and that the pennies I am thrown each week are in exchange for me dealing with these people in a non-violent manner. And usually that is fine, but today…sorry, lady: I have ennui.
LORELAI: So, you’re sleepy?
MICHEL: It’s a metaphysical angst.
LORELAI: So, you wanna go beddy-bye?
MICHEL: You make light, it increases my ennui.

Scott & Bailey quotes

RACHEL: "Why would you tie a dog collar around someone's neck and set fire to them?"
JANET:  "Well, if you're a psychopathic murdering nutter, why wouldn't you?"

Doctor Who quotes

SARAH: “How long have we been travelling?”
DOCTOR: “Hmm? What did you say?”
SARAH: “You promised me we’d be back in London five minutes before leaving Loch Ness.”
DOCTOR: “Did I?”
SARAH: “Oh, you’re trying to wriggle out of it.”
DOCTOR: “Wriggle out of what?”
SARAH: “Your promise.”
DOCTOR: “Listen, we’re on the edge of a time-space vortex and you’re talking in minutes.”
SARAH: “Oh, I see. What’s gone wrong this time?”
DOCTOR: “Nothing. Nothing at all. What makes you think something’s gone wrong?”
SARAH: “Because you always get rude when you’re trying to cover up a mistake.”
DOCTOR: “Nothing of consequence. Slight overshoot, easily rectified.”
SARAH: “Come on, where are we?”
DOCTOR: “We’ve come out of the time vortex at the wrong point, that’s all. A few years too late.”
SARAH: “How many?”
DOCTOR: “Thirty thousand.”

Ten Reasons Why I Love Harry Sullivan


  1. So pretty! Check out the eyes and the curls and the epic sideburns!
  2. He’s wonderfully laid back, which stands him in good stead where travelling with the Doctor is concerned; once the initial culture shock has worn off, he just takes all the crazy completely in his stride!
  3. He may not always fully understand what’s going on, but he’s always willing to pitch in and help.
  4. He’s brave. He gets scared when faced with deadly danger on alien planets, and is man enough that he can admit it, but he never runs and hides; he faces danger head on and doesn’t let fear stop him doing the right thing.
  5. He’s so very well meaning and so endearingly apologetic about his clumsiness.
  6. He’s capable of so much more than he thinks he is, as the Doctor proves many times during their adventures – be it operating wildly futuristic technology, performing an autopsy on a giant space bug, or sabotaging a Sontaran spaceship…if asked, Harry will give it a go and always succeeds.
  7. He’s the perfect English gentleman and officer, always so impeccably turned out – but he can also handle himself in a fight and isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty for the greater good.
  8. He’s so very jolly hockey-sticks – such a natural cheer-leader, always so enthusiastic and congratulatory about other peoples’ success, and utterly sincere with it, absolutely adorable.
  9. He saves the Doctor’s life several times over during their adventures together – including one time while concussed and a prisoner, and no one ever finds out that he did it.
  10. He has a healer’s instinct: if he sees someone sick or injured, he rushes straight to them, without hesitation, to see what he can do for them.
  11. He is not an imbecile.
  12. He’s a sweetheart. ‘Nuff said!
