 Geoffrey Palmer QuotationMovie Title: The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin (1976) as Jimmy Anderson / Jimmy Armstrong: [Jimmy is explaining to Reggie what kinds of people his secret army will be against] Jimmy Anderson : Wreckers of law and order. Communists, Maoists, Trotskyists, neo-Trotskyists, crypto-Trotskyists, union leaders, Communist union leaders, atheists, agnostics, long-haired weirdos, short-haired weirdos, vandals, hooligans, football supporters, namby-pamby probation officers, rapists, papists, papist rapists, foreign surgeons - headshrinkers, who ought to be locked up, Wedgwood Benn, keg bitter, punk rock, glue-sniffers, "Play For Today", Clive Jenkins, Roy Jenkins, Up Jenkins, up everybody's, Chinese restaurants - why do you think Windsor Castle is ringed with Chinese restaurants? Reginald Perrin : You realise the sort of people you're going to attract, don't you, Jimmy? Thugs, bully-boys, psychopaths, sacked policemen, security guards, sacked security guards, ratialists, Paki-bashers, queer-bashers, Chink-bashers, anybody-bashers, rear Admirals, queer admirals, Vice Admirals, fascists, neo-fascists, crypto-fascists, loyalists, neo-loyalists, crypto-loyalists. Jimmy Anderson : Do you think so? I thought recruitment might be difficult. Jimmy Armstrong : Compost heaps, pros and cons. Credit side - Big enough. Nice and warm. Element of surprise when attacked by compost heap considerable. Debit side - Smelly, bad for morale. Field of vision limited. Delay in getting out of compost heap considerable. And, erm, anyway we haven't got any. Careful consideration, but on balance, "thumbs down". Reginald Perrin : Congratulations, Jimmy. Well done! Jimmy Armstrong : Why? What for? Reginald Perrin : For deciding it shouldn't be compost heaps. Movie Title: Butterflies (1978) as Ben Parkinson: Ben Parkinson : [to Adam, after he compares baking a cake to giving birth] I will not have you talking to your mother like that. She is baking a cake. Nothing that goes on around that oven has anything to do with procreation. This a kitchen, not a maternity ward. Cakes are delivered here. Cakes! And other disasters. Movie Title: Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) as Admiral Roebuck: Admiral Roebuck : With all due respect, M, I don't think you have the balls for this. M : Perhaps. The advantage is I don't have to think with them all the time. [the Royal Navy has launched a cruise missile at a terrorist site Bond is surveying - Robinson gets on communications line with Bond] Charles Robinson : White knight, 4 minutes to impact. Get out of there. [pause] Charles Robinson : Yes, dammit, I know what it is, it's on the screen in front of me. It's a jeep in front of a plane! Now get the hell OUT of there! Admiral Roebuck : What the hell is going on? Charles Robinson : [to Bond] You will NOT wait! That is an order! Admiral Roebuck : What is your man waiting for? Charles Robinson : White Knight? [Robinson reacts with horror to something on the screen] Charles Robinson : Oh my God, those are Soviet SB-5 nuclear torpedoes! If the cruise hits them... M : Order them to abort the missile! Admiral Roebuck : [picks up phone] HMS Chester, urgent, Abort missile! Abort missile! Movie Title: The Madness of King George (1994) as Warren: Warren : One may produce a copious, regular evacuation every day of the week and still be a stranger to reason. Movie Title: Fawlty Towers (1975) as Dr. Price: Dr. Price : I don't understand. He's been dead for about ten hours. Basil Fawlty : Yes, it's so final, isn't it? Sybil Fawlty : Basil! Basil Fawlty : Well wouldn't you say it was final dear? I'd say it was pretty *bloody* final... Dr. Price : Do you mean to tell me you didn't realize this man was dead? Basil Fawlty : People don't talk that much in the morning... Well look, I'm just delivering a tray, right? If the guest isn't singing "Oh What A Beautiful Morning," I don't immediately think, "Oh there's another snuffed it in the night." Another name in the Fawlty Towers Book of Remembrance. I mean this is a hotel, not the Burma Railway. I mean it does actually say "Hotel" outside, you know. Perhaps I should be more specific. What about "Hotel for people who have a better than fifty percent chance of making it through the night"? |
