Flight of the Conchords Details

The wonderfully quirky Flight of the Conchords is a comedy on HBO that follows a fictionalized version of the real life folk duo band, Flight of the Conchords.  In the fictionalized version, Jermaine Clement and Bret McKenzie play fictionalized versions of themselves.

Jermaine and Bret move from New Zealand to try to make it as a band in New York City.  They hire Murray (Rhys Darby) as their incompetent, but lovable manager, whose full time job is at the New Zeland consulate.  They have one fan, Mel (Kristen Schaal) who's unbelievably obsessed with them and one friend, Dave (Arj Barker).

Jemaine: I think I know where I went wrong last night.
Bret: Yeah?
Jemaine: Yeah, Sally wanted to leave when you turned the light on. I think she found it weird - the whole thing with you there with the - with the light ... on.
Bret: Yeah, I think it might also be because she and I used to go out.
Jemaine: Yeah. It's 'cause you and her used to go out, but also because of the thing with the light. She's thinking, "Oh this is a nice situation." But then, "Ugh, who-- who turned on the light?"
Bret: Yeah. Yeah, maybe. But I think it's mainly because her and I used to go out... for like six months.
Jemaine: Yeah, well -- yeah, it's mainly because you used to go out, but also mainly because of the whole situation with the light.
Bret: Yeah, but the last thing you want to see when you're hooking up is your ex in the same room.
Jemaine: Yeah, and you also don't want to be startled by a light, do you?

Murray: I've told you. When you are in a band, you don't get with your bandmate's girlfriend. Past or present.
Jemaine: Yes, well, thanks for that.
Murray: You get a love triangle, you know, a Fleetwood Mac situation. Although there was four of them, so more of a love square. But you know, no-one gets on.
Jemaine: Ok, I see.
Murray: Mind you, they did make some of their best music back then.
Bret: Rumours
Murray: No. No, it's all true
