Colonel: Watkins, why did you join the army? Watkins: For the water-skiing and the travel, sir. Not for the killing, sir. I asked them to put it on my form, sir: "no killing". Colonel: Watkins, are you a pacifist? Watkins: No, sir. I'm not a pacifist, sir: I'm a coward.

Superintendant Praline: Next we have number four - "Crunchy Frog". Am I right in thinking there's a real frog in here? Mr Milton: Yes, a little one. Superintendant Praline: What sort of frog? Mr Milton: A dead frog. Superintendant Praline: Is it cooked? Mr Milton: No. Superintendant Praline: What, a raw frog?! Mr Milton: We use only the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose. Superintendant Praline: That's as may be — it's still a frog. Don't you even take the bones out? Mr Milton: If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, would it?
Mr. Praline: It's not pining, it's passed on! This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late parrot! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies! It's run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This is an ex-parrot!
Woman: I object to all this sex on the television. I mean, I keep falling off.
Kenny Lust: Now, every so often here in the Refreshment Room it is my honor, my privilege, to welcome some of the truly great international artists. And tonight we have one such artist. Ladies and gentlemen, someone who've I've always personally admired. More deeply, more strongly, more abjectly than anyone before. A man, no, more than a man, a god! A great god whose personality is so totally and utterly wonderful, that my feeble words of welcome sound wretchedly and pathetically inadequate. Someone whose boots I would gladly lick clean, until holes wore through my tounge! A man who is so totally and utterly wonderful, that I would rather be sealed in a pit of my filth than dare tread on the same stage with him. Ladies and gentlemen, the incomparably superior human being, Harry Fink!
Counsellor: Your report here says that you are an extremely dull person. You see, our experts describe you as an appallingly dull fellow, unimaginative, timid, lacking in initiative, spineless, easily dominated, no sense of humour, tedious company and irrepressibly drab and awful. And whereas in most professions these would be considerable drawbacks, in chartered accountancy, they're a positive boon.

Pepperpot 2: Penguins don't come from next door; they come from the Antarctic! Pepperpot 1: BURMA! Pepperpot 2: Why'd you say 'Burma'? Pepperpot 1: I panicked. Pepperpot 2: Perhaps it's from the zoo. Pepperpot 1: Which zoo? Pepperpot 2: How should I know which zoo? I'm not Dr. Bloody Bronowski! Pepperpot 1: How does Dr. Bronowski know which zoo it came from? Pepperpot 2: He knows everything. Pepperpot 1: Ooh, I wouldn't like that. It'd take the mystery out of life. Anyway, if it came from the zoo, it'd have 'Property of the Zoo' stamped on it. Pepperpot 2: No it wouldn't. They don't stamp animals 'Property of the Zoo'! You couldn't stamp a huge lion! Pepperpot 1: They stamp them when they're small. Pepperpot 2: What happens when they moult? Pepperpot 1: Lions don't moult! Pepperpot 2: No, but penguins do. There! I've run rings around you, logically. Pepperpot 1: Oh, intercourse the penguin!
Announcer #1: The BBC would like to apologize to everyone in the world for that last item. It was disgusting and bad and thoroughly disobedient, and please don't bother to phone up because we know it was very tasteless, but they didn't really mean it and they all come from broken homes and have very unhappy personal lives, especially Eric. Anyway, they're all really nice people underneath, and very warm in the traditional show business way. And please don't write in either because the BBC is going through an unhappy phase at the moment, what with its father dying, and the mortgage, and BBC2 going out with men.
