Quotes of Movie: "Not the Nine O'Clock News" [1979]

  • Sergeant:
    Savage, why do you keep arresting this man?



    Constable Savage:
    He's a villain, sir.



    Sergeant:
    ...A villain.



    Constable Savage:
    And a jailbird, sir.



    Sergeant:
    I know he's a jailbird, Savage, he's down in the cells now! We're holding him on a charge of being caught in possession of curly black hair and thick lips!

  • Buyer:
    [looking at scaled down model of bathroom set with toilet and shower on the scene] A shower isn't as much use as a toilet is it? Well let's stick another toilet in there then!



    Salesperson:
    But you've already got one sir!


    [pause]



    Salesperson:
    How about this heating rack? It can go just here...



    Buyer:
    For drying towels and things?



    Salesperson:
    That's right, yes.



    Buyer:
    A heating rack isn't as much use as a toilet is it, really?



    Salesperson:
    [laughing] Well, I suppose not, no...



    Buyer:
    [takes out rack] , well let's put a toilet there then!


    [puts toilet in in its place]



    Salesperson:
    [confused] Um, three toilets...



    Buyer:
    Ah yes - in case of blockage.



    Buyer:
    [slightly later in scene] The bath's taking up a lot of room isn't it?



    Salesperson:
    Well it is a bathroom sir!



    Buyer:
    No, I prefer a shower.


    [removes the bath and puts a shower in]



    Buyer:
    Put it here and we'll have a couple of toilets in there as well


    [insert two more toilets]



    Salesperson:
    [bemused] That's now six toilets...



    Buyer:
    I'll stick a toilet in the shower as well, kill two birds with one stone as it were.



    Salesperson:
    That's now seven toilets...



    Buyer:
    Do you have anything else?



    Salesperson:
    No, I'm afraid you've used up our entire stock!

  • [a ticket tout solicits a man in a theatre lobby]



    Scalper:
    Psst... here... want a couple of tickets for the Osmonds concert tonight?



    Man:
    Osmonds concert? No.



    Scalper:
    Yeah...! Best seats, no rubbish, front stalls.

    How much?

    Fiver each?

    Alright.

    Two front stalls...

    Scalper:
    and five and five...

  • [a scientist is being interviewed about his project to communicate with a gorilla sitting next to him]



    Interviewer:
    Professor, can Gerald really speak as we would understand it?



    Prof. Timothy Fielding:
    Oh yes, yes. He can speak a few actual words. Of course it was extremely difficult to get him even to this stage. When I first captured Gerald in the Congo, '67 I think it was...



    Gerald, the Gorilla:
    '68



    Prof. Timothy Fielding:
    '68. Umm... there was an awful lot of work to do. He was enormously slow and difficult. I had to do a lot of work with him on a sort of one-to-one basis...



    Gerald, the Gorilla:
    [interrupting] Yes, yes, if I might just butt at this point Tim, I think I should point out that I have done a considerable amount of work on this project myself and if I may say so your teaching methods do leave a bit to be desired...



    Prof. Timothy Fielding:
    That's a bit ungrateful, isn't it?



    Gerald, the Gorilla:
    ...and your diction for instance...



    Prof. Timothy Fielding:
    I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Can I put this into some sort of perspective? When I caught Gerald in '68 he was completely wild.



    Gerald, the Gorilla:
    Wild? I was absolutely livid!

  • Prof. Timothy Fielding:
    I didn't see the point of him writing letters, I mean they either ate them or wiped their bottoms on them.



    Gerald, the Gorilla:
    Look, I know you've never got on with my mother.



    Prof. Timothy Fielding:
    Well, she didn't exactly like me either, did she?



    Gerald, the Gorilla:
    She got on perfectly well with David Attenborough.



    Prof. Timothy Fielding:
    David Attenborough! All I ever hear is David bloody Attenborough!



    Gerald, the Gorilla:
    Let's leave Dave out of this.



    Prof. Timothy Fielding:
    Oh, shut up and have a banana!



    Gerald, the Gorilla:
    All right, then, I will.

  • Gerald, the Gorilla:
    I went to evening classes.



    Prof. Timothy Fielding:
    Oh, shut up about your bloody evening classes, Gerald!



    Gerald, the Gorilla:
    As Aristotle once said...


    [speaks Greek]



    Prof. Timothy Fielding:
    You arrogant little bastard, you're wrecking my life's work! Trampling around the garden... eating daffodils!



    Gerald, the Gorilla:
    I do *not* eat daffodils.



    Prof. Timothy Fielding:
    Well, somebody does, don't they?



    Interviewer:
    Well, I'm afraid that's all we've got time for. Professor, Gerald, thank you very much.



    A Daffodil:
    He bloody does eat daffodils, you know.

  • Various roles:
    [opens a back door and shouts] Why don't you grow up, you little bastards?



    Various roles:
    What's the matter, dear?



    Various roles:
    Nothing, I'm just talking to the plants.

  • Doctor:
    I've got your results back from the lab, and you have the highest level of cholesterol they've ever seen.



    Man:
    Oh.



    Doctor:
    I know this is premature, but when you die, would you consider leaving your body to me?



    Man:
    Well, obviously, if I can be of any help. For research purposes?



    Doctor:
    No, I want to hang you in the garden so the blue-tits can peck at you.

  • Well we'd just seen Gerry. I think he wanted somebody who had that authority and was handsome. The thing is, he's a big hunk isn't he? All I can say, if you look at his chat line, or the Phantom website, it's quite worrying. Because the girls really seem to love him. (Andrew Lloyd Webber)

  • Worst Quote

  • I'm thinking, this is Robert Redford. You know, he's won an Academy Award, he's talking to me about directing a movie he's in. So you just think that it's Hollywood stuff or whatever (Barry Levinson)
