- Stephen & Gillian who couldn't enter the Haçienda even if they were owners because they didn't have an invitation
And that table...

God to Wilson:
Pity you didn't sign the Smiths. But you were right about Mick Hucknell. His music's rubbish and he's a ginger.
It was only a blow job. You had full penetration...
10/10 for Coogan keeping a straight face when delivering that line!
All of the above.
plus, last night in FAC 51, after Wilson's speach, that beat dropping in and the place going mad. And Hannet recording silence then recording Tony Fuckin Wilson.
And of course, the sequence blending Happy Mondays into Gerald.."New Order were right".
And one lost scene too...Mondays slaughtering BM LOL
"Play it faster.....but slower"
Or the other way round.
And Hannett trying to shoot Wilson.
Hannett a fookin nutcase, but a genius.
The Pigeon scene with SWR 
the day Stephen and Gillian were too busy fking to turn up for rehearsals and Barney and Hookys` 12 year old brother wrote Blue Monday in an undecorated since 1979 Rehearsal room
I love this movie.
"I'm a serious fucking journalist! I went to Cambridge University!"
"I'm being post-modern. Before it was fashionable."
On ACR: "They're crap though." "Utter shite."
Bernard while producing for the Mondays tastes his Chinese food and immediately throws it into the trash. Ryder and someone else jump after it.
Gretton smoking the joint while the London people were buying Factory.
Wilson on the Monday's tour bus on the offering of charlie, "Cocaine is the destroyer of art." (something like that)
"Icarus"
"Oi Wilson,yer a cunt!"
and the sublime in the van scene,with the "Hurry up and finish me off luv"after his woman catches him being,ahem,noshed!
wilson asks at what exotic location alan erasmus purchased the weed they're smoking.
erasmus: "rhyl."
The Ryders feeding pigeons with poisoned bread crumbs (either it was rat poison or crack)
About the scene with the Happy Mondays butchering BM: Does that explain how the group got its name?
the "finish me off" bit in the van
Martin Hannett trying to get Hooky to stop playing in the studio. "You wear it very well"
The airport scene, with the Mondahys, on the way to Barbados.
Mark E. Smith & Howard Devoto.
The ACR tanning lotion bit
Any scene with Rob Gretton's character in it.Especially Rob chasing Wilson around the new Factory office table.
*When Rob Gretton says "Are you man enough for that" when Ryder has a gun in the Dry bar.
* Alan saying "Its funny cos Tonys actually on the television. "You know what I call television? The idiot box". Yeah, therea slot of rubbish on.
* Deleted scene where Tony is told about New Order being formed
* Joy Division in the studio "Faster, but slower"
Martin Hannett to Wilson in the studio with the Mondays,
"Could you try and convince this shower of cunts masquerading as a fucking band to actually play some music" (or words to that effect)
Ha ha, a shower of cunts - what a superb phrase!

I'm only a low life medium sized fish in a tiny pond and I'VE said shit as bad or worse over a talkback (more so at a gig than in the studio) on a number of occassions, and that low growling voice he uses is very well observed...it's a technique called "shouting without actually shouting cos it will peak the talkback mic" LOL
Oh and I forgot....the advenures of Robinson Rider or whatever..."why the fook shoul ah"
And Dr Eccleston calling philosophy down the street.
And of course the end credits when Here to Stay kicks in, that tune chokes me up, there's something about hearing barney sing "we're here to stay" while Hooky knocks the living shite out of his bass that speaks straight to my soul.
