    Stephen: What is Richard Gere's middle name? [Shaun buzzes in] Yes?
    Shaun: I think it's a trick question. I don't think he has a middle name.
    Stephen: He does.
    Shaun: Oh.
    Arj: No-one can be expected to know it, so it must be "Gere".
    Stephen: Oh, that would be good. Richard Gere Gere.
    Arj: I thought, maybe, that his last name was his [real] middle name.
    Stephen: Ahh, that's cunning thinking, but that's not the case. It's one of those unusual ones. It's like you probably know John Wayne's first name...
    Shaun: Marion.
    Stephen: Marion. It's one of those.
    Shaun: [buzzing in] Marion?
    Stephen: No. Similar, not cognate.
    Alan: Susan?
    Stephen: No, not Susan. I like that, "A Wonderful Boy Called Sue"... [interrupted before he waffles off on another tangent]
    Alan: Judy!
    Stephen: We could be here all night.
    Alan: Angelina.
    Stephen: Angelin-
    Alan: Sarah-Jessica!
    Stephen: I'LL GIVE YOU A CLUE.
    Alan: Kylie!
    Stephen: No...
    Alan: Mary?
    Stephen: [ignores him] Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard, Mickey Rooney...
    Shaun: HA HA HAAAAA! [buzzes in triumphantly] Tiffany!
    Stephen: -is the right answer!
    Alan: ...so it's not "Hamster-Bum" or anything?

The little man in Stephen's ear is giving him the final scores

    Stephen: You talk amongst yourselves, will you...?
    [awkward silence]
    Shaun: ...so how are you, Alan?
    Alan: Whu-what?
    Shaun: How are you?
    Alan: I'm okay, Shaun. How're you going?
    Shaun: Not bad, not bad...
    Alan: I don't have an eraser... on my pencil.
    Shaun: ...why is that?
    [awkward silence]
    Stephen: Well, it's a fascinating conversation...
    Shaun: See what happens when you're not here?
    Alan: We could've gone on for hours.

    Stephen: [waffling off on a tangent]
    Alan: These chairs have wheels.
    [grins and starts rolling and spinning about on the chair]
    Alan: On the TV show, they don't have wheels.
    [pushes himself away from the desk and rolls into the background, grinning manically]
    Stephen: WOAH!
    Alan: On the TV show, they move you to a bit of tape, and they say "Don't fucking move.". The cameraman sits on a chair and just moves his hands around like that. [mimes moving a camera about] He can move it! But here... WOOOOOO! [pushes away and spins about]
    Stephen: Oh no... I may have to superglue it, I think.

"Stephen Fry: What’s the best way to get from the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre without seeing any French people?
Alan Davies: Underwater, look, just go straight along the river.
Sean Lock: What about if you went at lunchtime?
Stephen Fry: Yeah?
Sean Lock: ‘Cause they’re all stuffing their faces with pâté, aren’t they. You could just— oh yeah, lunch, ‘cause they all still break for lunch, don’t they, apart from the tourists.
Alan Davies: [Triumphantly] With your eyes shut! Do it with your eyes shut! Ha ha!
Stephen Fry: Ha ha. Ha ha.
Alan Davies: Wear a blindfold and say “Where’s the Louvre? Show me the Louvre!” People might say, “There’s no point. It’s all art.” Say “I want to experience the ambience. Without seeing any of you Frenchies."

"Stephen Fry: Which of these is the odd one out?
[Shows pictures of a machine gun, a tomato, and a jellyfish]
David Mitchell: You’ve asked which one’s the odd one out— they all are!
Stephen Fry: They’re all the odd one out.
Bill Bailey: Of what?
Stephen Fry: They kind of are, aren’t they. Well, there is a misapprehension about jellyfish, um— if you’re stung by a jellyfish, what are you supposed to do?
Alan Davies: Wee on it.
Stephen Fry: Yes. The odd thing is, the jellyfish is the odd one out because it’s the only one you’re not supposed to wee on.
Alan Davies: You’re supposed to wee on a tomato?
Stephen Fry: Yes! Weeing on tomatoes is good, and weeing on machine guns—
David Mitchell: I’ve never been stung by a tomato. I have to say, if they’d known about the weeing in the First World War, it could’ve saved a lot of casualties.
Stephen Fry: Well it did, actually, they did use them—
David Mitchell: What, after the first wave on the Somme everyone’s following with their cocks out?"
