Damon: To make a video it's sort of...you always agree to these things "yeah yeah no problem". By the time you get there, two months later, you don't want to do anything - you have no enthusiasm whatsoever, it's the last thing on the planet you wanna do.
Graham: It's alright though...the video it's alright.
Damon: I don't seem to remember at the time you being.......
Graham: No, I was...I said I'm gonna do this and that's fine and I did it very well, hiding behind a wall.

So I understand you were called Seymour before?
Damon: Uhh yeah we were hahah.
So what Damon, why were you named that in the first place?
Damon: Well it's like I don't know you have a name before you get married and then you change it, well if you're a woman.
Graham: You don't have to.
Damon: You don't have to. But we chose to. We got married. To each other.
Graham: Got rid of our maiden names.

Damon: Graham’s real indie. He’s a proper indie boy.
Alex: You’d never get him in here (the Rolls Royce they’re being driven around in).
Toby: No?
Alex: Oh no.
Toby: We were gonna go and see him -
Damon: Well, I said it wasn’t a good idea, but Alex likes winding him up.
Toby: So, the worst way to wind Graham up -
Damon: Well, I don’t like winding Graham up ‘cause he’s my friend.
Toby: (to Alex) Not of yours?
Alex: He’s my best friend.
