Jacob Coote
- Jacob Coote: Two things happened to me yesterday. The first was, I received all this shit about voting for the first time, which I chucked in the bin, 'cos I reckon all politicians are a bunch of dickheads. And the other thing was, my old man was watching a documentary about insects rooting on fig leaves, so I caught the end of the world news. And I saw this guy who was being chased by his own government, and I didn't understand anything about it except that he was wearing a Nick Cave T-shirt. And then I wondered how a guy my age, with my taste in music, had gotten himself into a situation where his own government was trying to have him shot, just because he had something to say. And I realised I'm lucky because in this country, I can rant and rave and call the Prime Minister a dickhead without the Army coming in and shooting me, and stopping you all from listening. And I figured that in this country, we don't vote to keep the best party in--'cos there's no such thing--but we vote to keep the worst party out. Because I don't want to end up being watched by some bloke at the other end of the world who thinks that this can't happen to him.

- Jacob Coote: You ready?
- Josie Alibrandi: Just let me check my bag for ID. I don't want to be named Jane Doe at the morgue.
- Jacob Coote: You get into punch-ups with aspiring models, you wipe your nose with your sleeve... you're my kind of chick. Why are we such a disaster together?
- Jacob Coote: Do you want to go out with me?
- Josie Alibrandi: You'd have to meet my mother.
- Jacob Coote: I don't meet mothers.
- Josie Alibrandi: Well, I don't go out with guys who don't meet mothers.
- Jacob Coote: All right, forget it, it was a stupid idea anyway.
