Quotes


Does anyone have any good quotes for 'Last of the Summer Wine'?

My favourite is Foggy referring to Compo.

Foggy: He looks like the result of calling up an evil spirit in an Oxfam shop!




"Hey, d'you have a handkerchief?
What's wrong with your sleeve?"

reply

I've got a good one, also by Foggy:
"It's people like you who make this country so rich in idiots."

And Ivy's exclamation:
"What the blood and stomach pills?!"

And here's a cute scene from an episode where Compo dressed up in riding gear (motorcycle gear) to impress Nora:
Compo: Oh, Noooooora!
Foggy: That man, what are you doing?
Compo: You great long jessie!
Clegg: It's Biggles! (he laughs) It is! It's Biggles!

Finally, here's another funny scene, from the episode where they try to catch a giant "ape":
(Foggy comes down the street to Auntie Wainwright's shop; he is dressed in safari gear and the guys laugh at him)
Compo: It's Wild Bill Hiccup!
Clegg: It's Jungle Jim!
Compo (indicating Foggy's blowgun): Look! It's Clarissa with her curtain rod!

If I hear any more quotes, I'll post them on here for you!

I love the one when the old men are in the graveyard and Compo ponders what they will put on his grave. Foggy's reply is.....

"something heavy i hope"

That makes me laugh everytime i think about it

"so i said look mother its my life ok?! So if I want to live on a beach and walk around naked....." - the great muppet caper

Lol! Old Sylvester's funeral; I remember that episode! Good grief, it was so funny...

I love the following, taken from a conversation between Billy, Clegg, Truly, and Alvin in the episode "Watching The Clock" (or was it "Little Orphan Howard," I can't remember...). Anyway, here it is:

Alvin: All these things that eat grass... why aren't they green?
Truly: You eat Old English Humbugs; why aren't you sticky and striped?
Billy: I thought he was sticky and striped.
Clegg: No, that's just his mustache.

"THE FLAG AND ITS SNAGS"
Clegg - (to Sid) Where is the lady of the house?
Sid - she's out in front.
Compo - In a very big way.

"Desperate For A Duffield":
Clegg (to Compo): Well, that's the trouble with your trousers; any minute you're expecting to be facing it.

"The General's Greatest Battle":
Truly (spotting a donkey in a field): Now we'll see what he looks like on a horse.
Entwistle: Casual observer might think it's a donkey.
Truly: Close enough!
Clegg: This is as far as I go. I have a bad record with donkeys; I was thrown once at Bridlington.
