“It’s always me...servicing you.” “Oh, servicing? God, you make me sound like a Ford Mondeo.”

Mac’s comebacks in Green Wing are not only clever and funny, they’re, at times, educational. For example:
Guy: Caroline, there is a space in your place and there's me needing somewhere to be, and, you know, the problems interweave like a Jacquard loom.
Caroline: I don't understand.
Mac: It's a primitive punch-card system.
Caroline: I wasn't talking about the loom.
Guy: Can I have a room in your flat?
Caroline: House.
Guy: House. Can I? Just for a bit, until I get myself sorted out. Please? Don't look at him. Don't look at him, look at me. Please? I need somewhere. My life's so complex and difficult.
Caroline: Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, whatever!Yes!
Guy: Yes! (Caroline walks away)
Mac: A sabot, or the sabot, was a kind of wooden clog worn by impoverished French workers. As a protest against the Jacquard loom, which they thought would take away their jobs, they'd throw their sabots, or wooden clogs, into the delicate machinery to destroy its working, from which we get the modern word 'sabotage'.
Guy: Yeah, right. Now you've harshed my buzz, have you got a point?
Mac: If your plan to move in with Caroline is in any way an attempt to sabotage our relationship, I will hit you in the fucking face with a big wooden clog.
This is how I feel watching Green Wing
Thought you guys might enjoy a short clip... I even managed audio this time.
