your favourite quote?


I've already mentioned the Scottish crocodile quote in another topic, one of my other favourites is a gem from Grim:

"Your cockup, my arse!"

I love nearly every quote from Gladstone.
For example, when he talks about his wife:
Gladstone: "And I said to her: if I want to stop and have a few beers, I will ! And I expect my dinner on the table when I get home !"
Goody: "And she took notice of that, didn't she ?"
Gladstone: "I don't know, I never saw her again".

Of when he talks about the young boy in Trinidad who "gave" his knife: "He stuck in my shoulder" LOL

And of course the elephant impression ! But that isn't really a quote, of course.

Grim rules as well, of course. "Out of the mum, and into the cell... That's a great idea, Kray !"
His short quotes are the best:
"And I said Tina, COME ON !"
"...And all that FANNYING about !"
"Hoity-toity, wishy-woshy, lardy-tardy, and so on" :D

And Kray, when the others are exercising the "Alpha, Bravo, Foxtrot, etc."-codes, and he's just ordering a pizza. Hilarious !

My fave is in "Honey Trap", I think that is the name of the episode, where Habib dresses to impress and lure in a dangerous criminal and she passes Kevin...

Habib: Hello big boy! Is that a truncheon in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?
*She walks away*
Kevin: Actually, it's a Mars bar.

I fell off the sofa laughing at that!

from "road rage"

Goody - "and here's one Garry Boyle made up."
Boyle - "No I didn't."
Goody - "Whats the difference between a bank manager having a fight and Inspector fowler having a conversation? Well ones a warring banker, the other's a boring.."
Fowler - "ALRIGHT, LET ME DOWN NOW!
Goody - "HAHA It worked he's coming down!"

reply

I have a couple, because it is so awesome

the one where Grim rants about "lahdy-dahdy, lahdie dahs"

“Phone the home office, phone the armed response unit, get me a tea – milk, four sugars”
“In what order sir”
“Blimey, Craig, where were you dragged up? Milk in first, tea next, sugar last.”

“When you run us up the flagpole, you’ll find you’re saluting a very different kettle of fish.”

“You have the soul of an amoeba and the imagination of a pot noodle. You’d be bored watching Olivier play ‘Hamlet’.”
“Well I don’t like football. Especially foreign teams.”

reply

The best scene by far is in the episode in which they all have to share the same changing rooms and the guys are waiting outside for the ladies to finish getting ready. They eventually emerge and Grim has a go at them for taking a long time. They reply by having a go back at him and the rest of the blokes for peeing all over the floor, and Grim retaliates with...
'Drips !?! Women are obsessed with drips !! I say, "Tina, wear a pair of slippers !"'

Combined with Goody and Fowler's facial reactions - classic !

In 'Kids Today', I love Stephen Fry's Scottish character Brigadia Blaster Sump Damn You (what a name). When Fowler says to him that they would like to go and do the trip alone, Brigadia Blaster Sump Damn You shouts at him...

'DAMN YOU, YOU BITCH!'

"I blame those refridgerator magnets!"-Anything out of Gladstone's mouth

"...And you know what that reporter's thinking...I hope I don't say condom, I hope I don't say condom."-Goody

"I know what a joke is and this is not a joke. Here's a joke: A man walks into a bar and he says ouch because its a public bar...I MEAN AN IRON BAR. Now that's a joke!!"
"Well they do say its how you tell them."

This is one of my favourite Grim quotes:

"Football is not a game! Well obviously it is a game ... but it is also not a game! I mean even though it is a game, there's no point treating it like a game because it is not a game ... although clearly it is a game! Right GO GO GO!!!"


And i love this one too (although i can't remember it exactly):

Goody: (snickering after Fowler says he was "sucking on a fisherman's friend")

Fowler: what's funny about that?

Goody: well everyone knows they're horrible aren't they?!

reply

I have every right to search you, indeed if i suspect you of posseing drugs, i'm intitled to conduct an internal search involving a rubber glove and a wooden spoon, would you like me to suspect you of possesing drugs?

Love that line, lol

Fowler: "Appearances are like bus timetables. Often, highly misleading."

reply

How about:

Fowler: ... Give a dog a bad name?

Gladstone: We gave our dog a bad name once, Colin.. you wouldnt believe how many Colins are about, u shout him and allthese blokes turn round.. some are big blokes...

reply

In Fly On The Wall. They're all standing behind the desk, Gladstone looks particularly nervous and stiff.

Director - Roll camera.
Gladstone - Ol man river...

And also Grims reaction to the news.

Grim - I reckon we should cut a single! Starsky and Hutch did it. COME ON SILVER LADY TAKE ME HOME! And Kojak, he had a bash. IF A PICTURE PAINTS A THOUSAND WORDS

Everyone - THEN WHY CANT I PAINT YOU!

reply

Alternative Culture - while they're having to share changing facilities.

Habib getting increasingly irate with Boyle.

H - 'Constable Boyle, if you're going to use my soap, could you PLEASE remove your HAIRS from it.'

B - 'Don't be so squeamish. It's just benign, non-volatile, dead cell matter.'

H - 'It's benign, non-volatile, dead cell matter that GREW OUT OF YOUR SCROTUM!'

The COURT IN THE ACT episode has a lot of great moments. My favorite part is the scene where they are trying to show Goody what it will be like when he's on the stand. I nearly fell off the sofa when Goody starts crying and saying "You're being so meeeeeeeeaaaaaaannnnnn!" If that wasn't enough, Fowler puts on a mop head to help Goody see him as a defense lawyer, Habib donning a carton of some kind for the prosecutor, and best of all, Gladstone makes a wig out of shredded papers. That last bit with Gladstone put me away.

I also like the scene where Fowler is trying to get the others to tap their batons on their riot gear in unison and in rhythm. Goody needs words to help them keep the beat. What does Gladstone suggest? "Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake baker's man". The payoff has to be seen to be appreciated.

Best of all : Patricia: "There's nothing wrong with NOOKY!!!!" from the NIGHT SHIFT episode

I forgot the episode, but the station was overrun. A bum rushes up to Sgt. Dawkin's desk, his cheeks puffing in and out, about to blow chowder on her desk.

Dawkins: Before you even *think* about being sick on my desk (pulls up her billy club), first think about removing this truncheon from your ear-hole!

The bum stops, forcibly swallows back his chunder, then grins in obvious discomfort.

Cosby: "GET OUTTA HERE, CHICKEN HEART! YOU WON'T COME NEAR SMOKE AND FIRE AND JELL-O!"
