Quotes
-
Holly : This is an S.O.S distress call from the mining ship Red Dwarf. The crew are dead, killed by a radiation leak. The only survivors are Dave Lister, who was in suspended-animation during the disaster, and his pregnant cat who was safely sealed in the hold. Revived 3 million years later, Lister's only companions are, a life form who evolved from his cat and Arnold Rimmer, a hologram simulation of one of the dead crew. I am Holly, the ships computer with an IQ of 6,000 - the same IQ of 6,000 P.E. teachers.

[Rimmer has just noticed the woman's hair-do given to him after he insulted Holly]
Rimmer : Holly! Holly!
[a static image of Holly appears on the screen]
Holly : This is a recording. I'm afraid Holly is busy at the moment, but if you would like to leave a message after the bleep, he will get back to you. Bleep.
-
Holly : I am Holly, the ship's computer, with an IQ of 6000; the same IQ as 6000 PE teachers.
-
Holly : Look, I'm trying to navigate at faster than the speed of light, which means that before you see something, you've already passed through it. Even with an IQ of 6000, it's still brown-trousers time.

Rimmer : [to the future echo of 171-year-old Lister] What about me? What happens to me?
Lister : He can't hear us, Rimmer. He's from the future.
Rimmer : Ah, but if I ask you now, you can remember it and when you get to be him, you can tell me.
Lister : Boss thinking.
Future Lister : Rimmer? You wanted to know what happened to you?
Rimmer : Yes!
Future Lister : Well, come closer.
Rimmer : Yes!
Future Lister : Come closer still.
Rimmer : Yes!
Future Lister : Closer.
Rimmer : Yes!
[Future Lister opens his mouth, then just laughs, then he vanishes]
Rimmer : You goit!
[turns around and points at Lister]
Rimmer : No, you goit! They're all goits! I'm surrounded by goits! Holly, you're a goit!
Holly : I'm a what?
Rimmer : You heard!
