I tried not to...here's two I love from Fawlty Towers.

Basil Fawlty: Is there? Well I'd like to meet him. I could do with a laugh.

O'Reilly: You'll have to worry for the both of us. I tell you, if the Good Lord---

Basil Fawlty: ---is mentioned ONCE more, I shall move you closer to him.

and:

Basil: Might I suggest you get a hearing aid?

Mrs. Richards: I have a hearing aid.

Basil: Would you like me to get it repaired?

Mrs Richards: It's not damaged. I don't turn it on.

Basil: Why?

Mrs Richards: The battery runs down.


Oh, all right. One or two from 'Yes, Minister'.

(Hacker goes to leave the office)

Hacker: Wh...what's going to happen?

Sir Humphrey: Well, Minister...the Prime Minister giveth and the Prime Minister taketh away...

(Hacker leaves, Sir Humphrey and Bernard begin to leave)

Sir Humphrey: Blessed be the name of the Prime Minister...

and:

Hacker: Excellent idea, Humphrey!

Sir Humphrey: Takes two to QUANGO, Minister.


Apologies to anyone who hasn't seen Yes Minister, you don't know what you've missed. Besides, if HE can quote something I've never seen... ;-)
