LAURIE: How’s your jaw?
GEOFF: Still sore. How’s your gut?
LAURIE: Likewise.
GEOFF: Push-ups are one thing but slugging me into submission just isn’t on.
LAURIE: I know. I’m sorry. I love football and I love this Club and it’s a bit hard for me to understand someone who holds both of them in contempt.
GEOFF: Love the Club? Jock, Ted and Gerry?
LAURIE: The Club’s not Jock, Ted and Gerry. It’s nearly a hundred years of history.
GEOFF: Yeah. Well I missed the history and copped Jock, Ted and Gerry.
—The Club, David Williamson (1977)
love this bit of dialogue from The Club. they kept it as is in the 1980 film adaptation too. i read the original play this morning and it's so fun. i'd love to see it performed but until then the film is an excellent version of it.
