Episode Quotes

Rik: (reading a poem) "Oh Cliff, sometimes it must be difficult not to feel as if
You really are a cliff
When fascists keep trying to push you over it
Are they the lemmings?
Or are you Cliff?
Or are you Cliff?"

Rik: Neil, are these lentils South African?
Neil: Well...
Rik: YOU BASTARD! You complete and utter bastard! Why don't you just go out and become a policeman, a pig? I suppose you hate gay people too...hippie.

Rik: (after being told he owes 4.50 for the lentil casserole) I'm not paying you to eat black men! I could become a pig and do that for free if I wanted to.

Rat #1: Knock, knock.
Rat #2: Who's there?
Rat #1: Euripides.
Rat #2: Euripides, who?
Rat #1: Euripides the trousers, you mend-a these trousers.

Balowski: (after switching from a crazy Eastern European accent to a lower class English one) I'm not really foreign. I just act that way to appear more sophisticated.

Balowski: ABBA! ABBA? Swedish? I knew them when they were a Lancashire clog dancing trio!
