David Stephens quotes from Shallow Grave (1994)

Christopher Eccleston
A line from David Stephens [voice-over]

I'm not ashamed. I've known love. I've known rejection. I'm not afraid to declare my feelings. Take trust for instance, or friendship. These are the important things in life, these are the things that matter, that help you on your way. If you can't trust your friends well, what then? What then? This could've been any city, they're all the same.

I've never seen a dead body before. I saw my grandmother, of course, but I don't suppose that counts. I mean, she was alive at the time.

Well, Brian McKinley, if you want to talk to my girlfriend, you talk to me first. If you want to dance with her, then you apply in writing three weeks in advance or you're gonna end up inside a **** bin-bag. You didn't apply, so you don't dance.

Juliet Miller

Do you think you could be a little more forceful next time?

David Stephens

I'm sorry.

Juliet Miller

It's alright. I think he got the message anyway.

David Stephens

That was stressful. I found that quite stressful.

Alex Law

Yeah, but you were good, you were really good. **** bin-bag', I liked that. You were good. You explored your maleness to the full there.

David Stephens

You paid 500 pounds for this?

Juliet Miller

That's what it cost, David.

David Stephens

No, no, that's what you paid for it. 500 pounds is what you paid for it. We don't know how much it cost us yet. For you two to have a good time, we don't know the cost of that yet.
