“MARIE. Yes! I can sew. I could make clothes out of the curtains. IAN. We don't have curtains. MARIE. Then I could make curtains out of the clothes.”
Tom Basden, Holes

“IAN. There were English-speaking people dying, Gus. That means it's a fucking huge catastrophe and you know it.”
Tom Basden, Holes

“MANIAC. Well, the initial inquiry is over, yes, but that wasn’t inquisitive enough, so now there’s an inquiry into that. It’s the British way, of course. Inquiries into inquiries into inquiries for as long as it takes for everyone involved to destroy the evidence and change careers. If God were British, there wouldn’t be a judgement day, they’d be an eternal fucking inquiry.”
Tom Basden, Accidental Death of An Anarchist
