You know, I stand here now and I look at the two of us, and I ask one simple question: Who is the rich man? You, with your fifty-eight houses, your private island in the Bahamas, your multi-billion pound business empire; or me, with ... with ... with what I've got... [pause] It's you isn't it?
Holly
:
I'm the nearest thing you can get to infullible.
Dave Lister
:
Infallible.
Holly
:
Exactly.
Dave Lister
:
Rimmer, they're a bunch of arrogant, pompous, emotionally weird, stuck-up megalomaniacs -- do you really think you'll fit in with them? What am I saying? Bon voyage.
Arnold Rimmer
:
Step up to red alert!
Kryten
:
Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb.
Kryten
:
Don't be sad, Mr David, sir. I am going to a far, far better place.
Dave Lister
:
Just out of interest: Is silicon heaven the same place as human heaven?
Kryten
:
Human heaven? Goodness me! Humans don't go to heaven! No, someone made that up to prevent you all from going nuts!
Cat
:
Maybe we should drop the defensive shields?
Kryten
:
A superlative suggestion sir, with only two drawbacks: one, we don't have any defensive shields and two, we don't have any defensive shields. I know that, technically, that's only one drawback, but it was such a big one I thought I'd mention it twice.
Arnold Rimmer
:
So let me get this straight. If we board that ship and get captured, we're finished.
... However if we board that ship and don't get captured, but the superstructure disintegrates around us, we're finished.
... On the other hand, if we board that ship and don't get captured and the superstructure doesn't disintegrate around us, but we can't find any fuel, we are, in fact, finished.
Kryten
:
[to Lister] They despise humans and all forms of humanoid life. They believe you to be the vermin of the universe sir.
Cat
:
I didn't know they'd met him.
Arnold Rimmer
:
Plot a course for scarper city!
Kryten
:
Sir, a class-A enforcement orb can easily outrun us.
Arnold Rimmer
:
Kryten, the Eastbourne zimmer-frame relay team can easily outrun us. It's not about speed, it's about wit, brains and cunning.
Kryten
:
Hmm, I was praying it wouldn't come to that, sir.
Dave Lister
:
[Moving to the cell window] There's got to be a way out. There hasn't been a prison built that could hold Derek Custer. Why don't we scrape away this mortar here, slide one of these bricks out, then using a rope weaved from strands of this hessian, rig up a kind of a pulley system so that when a guard comes in, using it as a trip wire, gets laid out, and we put Rimmer in the guard's uniform, he leads us out, we steal some swords, and fight our way back to the 'bug...
Kryten
:
Or we could use the teleporter.
Arnold Rimmer
:
Open communications channels Lister. Broadcast on all known frequencies, and in all known languages. including Welsh.
Christine Kochanski
:
Look at the acceleration of that thing! They're already halfway across the sector!
Dave Lister
:
The Centauri can travel at speeds that we can only dream of.
Cat
:
Most ice cream vans can travel at speeds we can only dream of.
