Favourite One-Liner

[jobsta]

I'm re-watching the series after a bit of a break from it and just watched 'It's a Sin to tell a lie'.

The 'Losing your penis is no excuse for betraying your country' line, made me snort orange juice!!

What are your favourite one-liners from the show?

I still don't know how we made it through that scene. Liz asked me how she should react after that line, and I told her to look away before she started laughing.

From "How I Won the War" (Series Six)...


GARY: My wives exist in different temporal aspects of a four-dimensional space-time continuum.

RON: Typical bigamist's excuse!

Terry, wouldn't it have been Dervla in that episode, not Liz?

It was a long time ago, my friend. ;D

Ron - "It's a time travelling complaint. You're just having a bad era."

and

Phoebe - "I'll be standing at the altar and you'll be out on the street trying to pick up a sailor."

There are so many but one of my favourites is in series 2:
Gary: So youve joined the WVS?
Phoebe: Yes. I can only do it part-time of course otherwise I would have been a FANNY
Gary: A what?
Phoebe: A First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, the FANNIES, you can't be a part-time FANY
Gary: No, no of course not
Phoebe: Well they're very difficult to get into <== That's the line!! You can see Dervla having to stop herself from laughing!!

I have a few.

Reg: Hello,hello,hello.

Gary: so that's where it started.

Phoebe: why's your bin on wheels?

Gary: I'm a spy, I need to be mobile!

And from the same scene, Phoebe:that's never Vera Lynn?!
Gary: she's changed labels!

And from accentuate the positive.

Reg: you were always the master of spin.

Gary: and I thought Peter mandelson started it.
