"Rick, where'd you find all that firewood?" "Ah." "Uh..." "Between my legs." " Wish I'd thought of that." " I wish you'd done it!" " I might want children one day." " What a revolting thought!" "Vyv, throw another record player on the fire." " Certainly, Michael." " Bastards!" "That's my record player!" "You said it was yours." "No, I said, "Let's throw Rick's record player on the fire."

"There's no ghosts, there's no God, there's a rational explanation for any phenomena you might encounter." "Yeah?" "How do you explain the table shrinking, then?" " Ah." "Uh..." " Well, I did that, actually." "Like this." "See?" "God!" "Mike's floating!" "How's that done, then?" "Yeah, you see?" "I was right!" "It's the poltergoost!" " It's making him float!" " Aaah!" "Get a priest!" "Get a vicar!" "I believe in God!" "Never mind priests." "Call an ambulance." " Why?" " I've nailed my legs to the table." "(THUNDER AND COUGHING)" " Sore throat?" " Yeah."

" I thought we did." "Right, Neil." "We're ready!" "Right." "Here it is." "Now, eat it up quickly, OK?" " What's this?" " Uh..." "It's risotto, Mike." "It's snow, isn't it, Neil?" "No, it's probably just gone cold, Vyv." "Neil, it is snow!" " It's risotto, Vyv!" " I know snow when I see it!" "It's all I've had to eat for three days." " Well, it's very nourishing, Vyvyan." " Snow!" "I hate the sight of it!" " Don't you want yours, then?" " Ah!" "I didn't say that, Mike." "Oh, God, this is disgusting!" "Don't blame me." "I didn't cook it." " Can't we get decent food?"

" You are, Rick." "I can sense it." "I am not!" "Why does it have to be me who gets a job?" "Well, it can't be me." "I lead an alternative lifestyle." "Ha!" "You're about as alternative as Channel 4!" "All right, let's look in the paper." "Vyvyan." "I'm sorry about that bang." "I just fired a gun." "Here we are." "Situations vacant, pages seven to thirteen." " There isn't much choice." " Wait." "What's this?" " "Join the professionals." - "You can have a gun."" "Ah, well..." "Now..." "Yes, well..." "That's me out, you see." "Uh..." "Perforated eardrum." "Really?" "Yeah, me too." " Uh..." "Pardon?" " Flat feet." "Well, that just leaves Neil, then." "What?" "No way!" "Why can't it be Vyvyan for a change?" "Uh..." "Well, Neil, since you come to mention it..." "Um...there is something I've been meaning to tell all of you for some time..." "Um..." "I went to see the doctor today... and, well..." "I think I'm pregnant." " What?" " I'm going to have a baby!" " That's impossible!" " That's what she said!" "You just can't trust women, can you?" " But..." "But..." "How did it happen?" " Come on, Rick." "How old are you?" "Well, that's rather a personal question!" "Didn't your mother explain about the birds and the bees?" "Mine did, but I didn't believe her." "Well, what if the bird got stung halfway through?" "Well, there's a big size difference." "Ostriches are really big, right..." "Ah!" "Ah!" "Oh, no!" "The contractions are starting!" " Oh, no!" " I'm having a baby!" "Quick!" "Quick!" "Mike, get some boiling towels." "Rick, clean water." "Vyvyan, sit down." "Take the weight off your feet." " There aren't any chairs!" " All the towels have been burnt!" "Oh, no!" "We've got to buy some furniture for Vyvyan quickly!" "We can't!" "We haven't got any money!" "Vyvyan's baby will be a pauper!" "Oliver Twist!" "Geoffrey Dickens!" "Back to Victorian values!" "I hope you're satisfied, Thatcher!" " Get some money very quickly." " There's only one thing for it." " Neil." " You're right." "I've got to join the army before Vyvyan has a baby." "(CACKLES INSANELY)" "I've just been round my neighbour's house to borrow a drill, but he wasn't in." "So, I broke in and ate his fish tank, and I wasn't even hungry."

"It's finished as far as I'm concerned." " At least I'm half fashionable." " What?" "You're 150% fashion!" "The army can't say no to this suit." " Thanks for letting me hire it." " It's somewhat on the snug side." "Come on." "The recruiting office closes in one hour!" " Come on!" " Don't tell them you're a pacifist!" "I only said I was a pacifist!" "Well, we're back to square one." "God!" "Look at this weather." "You'd think it was winter." "Yes, a chap could lose his bearings in weather like this." "Hey!" "Do you see what I see?" "(VYVYAN) Oh, brilliant!" "Neil, you're joining the police." " (KNOCK AT DOOR)" " Entrez." "Hello, I've come to join the police, but I shouldn't think you'd take me..." "Hey, hey, hey!" "Hey, aren't you Benito Mussolini, conqueror of Abyssinia and former dictator of Italy?" "No." "So, what can I do for you?" "It's about joining the police, but I don't think I'm motivated." "Sure you are." "There's only one thing you need to know to be a policeman." "Really." "You have to be able to go, "Cccch!"" "(RETCHES)" "No, "Cccch!" For when you talk into your radio."
