A.Young: Emile…. You’ve gone too far this time.
*Heskey crouches down to tighten the buckle on his sandles*
Heskey: Come again?
A.Young: You. Dressed as Jesus.
Heskey: Dressed as who?
*Heskey adjusts his thorned crown*
A.Young: Jesus!
Heskey: Never heard of him, what is he one of your ‘grime’ or ‘dubstep’ people? I’ve told you before I don’t listen to that nonsense.

Heskey: I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m just here to score goals lads.

Downing: Well, this is embarrassin’ like.
