Samuel West: Zak Gist

Quotes 

• Zak Gist : Jogging. In the universe of mysteries, it's the greatest one of all.

• Woman on TV : In your face, bitch!

  Zak Gist : "In your face"? It's not even a proper sentence.

• Zak Gist : Marcus, Bruno and Felix - it's all a bit 'Hail Caesar', isn't it?

  Marcus : Dad was a nut for Roman epics. It could've been worse, I could've been saying, 'I'm Spartacus'.

• [Hannah is questioning Zak's belief in Marcus] 

  Zak Gist : You think it's naive to believe in a person. I think it's essential.

  Hannah : Well, I believed in a person once, and that turned out to be... stupidly naive.

  Zak Gist : When you believe in someone, Hannah, and they let you down... that doesn't mean you're wrong. It means, you're... the victim. Don't give up. You'll be happy again.

• Zak Gist : My fear... is we fail. And I could've... been with her all along.

  Richard Pembroke : And live. Huh? Come on, you coward. Come in from the cold.

  Zak Gist : I'm not in the cold. I've got a warm room and... delicious food, good wine, dear friends waiting for me. Oh, and cheese. And biscuits.

• Zak Gist : It's a broken world. But we can fix it. We *will* fix it.

• Zak Gist : Mrs Sheringham, do we have proper butter, as opposed to this "I'm Nearly Convinced It's Like Butter"?

• Zak Gist : Go to his flat...

  Tom Greening : We've already asked. He won't let us.

  Zak Gist : Be creative.

  Tom Greening : Oh... right. OK.

  Zak Gist : Yes.

  Tom Greening : O-kay.

  Zak Gist : Good.

  Tom Greening : I read you. A-OK!

  Zak Gist : Now you just sound American. Stop it.

• Zak Gist : In your face, bitch.

  [after winning his case against Richard] 

• Tom Greening : I'm so proud.

  Zak Gist : Pride's a sin, Tom.

  Tom Greening : I mean I'm so proud of you, Zak.

• Zak Gist : I may possess a modicum of chuffness.
