Quotes 

  • Lewis Prothero : So I read that the former United States is so desperate for medical supplies that they have allegedly sent several containers filled with wheat and tobacco. A gesture, they said, of good will. You wanna know what I think? Well, you're listening to my show, so I will assume you do... I think it's high time we let the colonies know what we really think of them. I think its payback time for a little tea party they threw for us a few hundred years ago. I say we go down to those docks tonight and dump that crap where everything from the Ulcered Sphincter of Arse-erica belongs! Who's with me? Who's bloody with me?

    [audience applauds] 

    Lewis Prothero : Did you like that? USA... Ulcered Sphincter of Arse-erica, I mean what else can you say? Here was a country that had everything, absolutely everything. And now, 20 years later, is what? The world's biggest leper colony. Why? Godlessness. Let me say that again... Godlessness. It wasn't the war they started. It wasn't the plague they created. It was Judgement. No one escapes their past. No one escapes Judgement. You think he's not up there? You think he's not watching over this country? How else can you explain it? He tested us, but we came through. We did what we had to do. Islington. Enfield. I was there, I saw it all. Immigrants, Muslims, homosexuals, terrorists. Disease-ridden degenerates. They had to go. Strength through unity. Unity through faith. I'm a God-fearing Englishman and I'm goddamn proud of it!

  • Lewis Prothero : You... it is you!

    V : The Ghost of Christmas past.

  • [Prothero is showering, while watching his own television rant about the terrorist V] 

    Lewis Prothero : [on television]  I'll tell you what I wish. I wish I had been there! I wish I had the chance for a face-to-face. Just one chance, that's all I'd need!

    [V breaks into Prothero's home] 

  • Lewis Prothero : [on TV screen]  This so called V and his accomplice Evey Hammond, neo-demagogues spouting their message of hate, a delusional and aberrant voice...

    Lewis Prothero : Aberrant and abhorrent!

    Lewis Prothero : [on TV screen]  delivering a terrorist's ultimatum...

    Lewis Prothero : Traitor!

    Lewis Prothero : [on TV screen]  An ultimatum that was met with swift, surgically precise justice!

    Lewis Prothero : No mercy!

    Lewis Prothero : [on TV screen]  The moral of this story ladies and gentleman is...

    Lewis Prothero : [turns off TV]  Good guys win, bad guys lose, and as always, England prevails!

  • Lewis Prothero : Strength through unity! Unity through faith!

  • Lewis Prothero : [on TV screen]  I'll tell you what I know. I know this is not a man.

    Lewis Prothero : What is he?

    Lewis Prothero : [on TV screen]  A man does not wear a mask!

    Lewis Prothero : What is he?

    Lewis Prothero : [on TV screen]  A man does not threaten innocent civilians! He's what every gutless freedom hating terrorist is, a goddamn coward!

  • Lewis Prothero : [talking to Roger Dascombe on the phone]  There will be no negotiation, Roger. When I arrive in the morning, the paddy will be gone. I'm looking at the tape right now, and he has no idea how to light me! My nose looks like Big freaking Ben!

    [gets very angry and shouts to Dascombe on the phone] 

    Lewis Prothero : Listen to me, you bleeding sod, England prevails because I say it does! And so does every lazy bum on this show, and that includes you! Find another DOP, or find yourself another job!

    [hangs up the phone] 

  • Lewis Prothero : England Prevails!
