Favorite episode and/or quotes

 

[japankorea]

"Knew a girl once....

Took her too see India......

At The Oval!"

More of the Major:

Major: "D'Oliveira got a century..."

Basil: "......did he? Good old Dolly........

Major: "Strikes, strikes strikes. Why do we bother Fawlty?"

Basil: "Didn't know you did Major?"


Major: "Vermin Fawlty!"

Basil: "No, none this week Major."

Major: "What?"

Basil: "No Germans this week."

Some are the best moments for me are Basil's looks espicially some of the double takes.

Checking 'Lord' Marberry's briefcase.

When questioned by Sybil about what day it was: "Agincourt?"

Examining the trifle at the Gourmet Evening.

On the phone to O'Reilly as Lord Marberry tries to book in and the thought process as the word 'Lord' goes through his mind before the final curt 'go away' down the phone.

"A satisfied customer. We should have him stuffed." Is a line I often use.

In the car thrashing scene he warns the car of the result of another failure to start but then doesn't even try the ignition before going for the branch.

"Duck with orange, duck with lemon, duck suprise"

"Whats duck suprise?"

"Duck without orange or lemon"

Also Mr O'Reiley after being violently beaten up Cybil and her umbrella:

Basil: "Your not going to take her seriously are you?"
O'Reiley: "Well I thought I might"

More Kipper ...

Miss Gatsby -You're very cheerful this morning, Mr Fawlty.
Basil (Big Grin) - Yes, well one of the guests has just died.

The Builders.

 

[o no its mo]

Ohh, too many to think of, all the aforementioned. But - I cannot say the word 'Eventually' any more. I have to say 'Hevenshuwally'.

[briff]

"May I ask what you were expecting from a Torquay Hotel bedroom window? The Sydney Opera House perhaps? The hanging gardens of Babylon? HerRAB of wilderbeast sweeping away majestically?"

Communication problems is my favourite, along with Gourmet Night.

Some more Kipper ...
Sybil to Basil - "What were you talking to him about Basil ? Car strikes was it ?
Basil sarcastically "Thank you, Sybil !"

 

[Pros_and_cons]

Fatty Owls !

 

[tonya_momma]

My favourite episode is probably "The Pscychiatrists" marginally ahead of "The Germans", but all twelve episodes were brilliant.

Two of my favourite lines

 

[Risaki]

Thanks, I'll check Youtube.

I think Communication Problems is the best.

Mrs RicharRAB: I'm looking for the manager...
Manuel: Que?
Mrs RicharRAB: Que?
Manuel: Si
Mrs RicharRAB: K.C.?!!
Manuel: Si...que?
Mrs RicharRAB: C.K.
Manuel: What?
Mrs RicharRAB: C.K. Watt? Excuse me, I want to see the manager...
Manuel: Ahh manager, fawlty!
Mrs RicharRAB: He's just told me the manager's a Mr C.K. Watt aged forty!
Polly: I'm sorry?
Manuel: Fawlty!!
Mrs RicharRAB: Faulty? What's wrong with him?
----------------
Basil: Is this a piece of your brain?
----------------
Basil: If you come 'round again I'll visit you in the small hours of the morning and put a bat up your nightdress.
----------------
Mrs RicharRAB: You said there's a sea view.
Basil: There is, over there between the land and the sky.
Mrs RicharRAB: Well, it's not good enough?
Basil: Not good enough...that's Torquay madam, what do you expect, the hanging gardens of Babylon...? HerRAB of wildebeest sweeping majestically?

Plus Gourmet Night:

Sybil: And he comes up with the crate of brown ale and *laughs*
---------------------
Basil: If you don't like duck...then erm...you're rather stuck.
---------------------
Basil: Would you like a tall or or a not so erm tall?


All comic gold.

The Builders.[/QUOTE]

The 'Orelly' men!!!
Polly going upstairs for a kip and Manuel not understanding, she says "You know, SIESTA"...
Ah, says Manuel. Siesta, is same in Spanish!! I often find myself repeating that one -
Also when Basil sees Manuel's 'Siberian hamster', realises it's a rat and says "cuddle that and you'll never play the guitar again"
So many other brilliant quotes that all of you have already mentioned.
The most brilliantly witty comedy the Brits ever did, I think!

 

[lalalove<3]

Ha snap.

 

[ghost_monkey47]

German: Will you stop talking about the war!

Basil: Me? You started it!

German: We did not start it.

Basil: Yes you did, you invaded Poland...

 

[Darian H]

Basil to dead guest :
"Well, if they don't like building cars, why don't they do something else, like composing piano concerto's.
The British Leyland Concerto, in four parts. All of them slow, with a four hour tea break in between" !

 

[Sayeed]

Basil to Manuel
"Get me a hammer"
Manuel
"My Hamster ??"
Basil : "No, not your hamster ! How can I knock a nail in with your hamster ?? Well, I could try..."!

 

[Gsaba]

"You're too busy sticking your noses into every corner . . . poking about for things to complain about aren't you. Well let me tell you something . . . this is exactly how Nazi Germany started."

Basil berating the assembled complaining guests.
