Quotes 

  • Basil Fawlty : Did you ever see that film "How To Murder Your Wife"?

    Major Gowen : "How To Murder Your Wife"?

    Basil Fawlty : Yes, awfully good. I saw it six times.

  • Basil Fawlty : [about Sybil's laugh]  It reminds me of somebody machine-gunning a seal.

  • Basil Fawlty : [into phone]  Hello, Fawlty Titties.

  • Basil Fawlty : [thinking it's another woman knocking at his locked bedroom door]  Go away. My wife will hear us.

    Sybil Fawlty : [on the other side]  This IS your wife.

  • Mrs. Peignoir : [asking for coffee with her breakfast]  Cafe au lait.

    Basil Fawlty : Cafe what?

    Mrs. Peignoir : Au lait.

    Basil Fawlty : Ah.

    [thinking she means "Ole," the Spanish word for "Bravo!"] 

    Basil Fawlty : Ole. Quite.

  • Basil Fawlty : I fought in the Korean War, you know. I killed four men!

    Sybil Fawlty : [to guests]  He was in the catering corps. He poisoned them.

  • Basil Fawlty : How's Audrey?

    Sybil Fawlty : She's in a terrible state.

    Basil Fawlty : [absently]  Ah, good, good.

  • Basil Fawlty : I'm frightfully sorry, but you know what women are like. They've got one brain between the lot of them. Well, not all of them, but some of them have.

  • Basil Fawlty : [angry at Polly]  Oh, well, so long as I amuse the staff; I mean, that's all I'm here for!

  • Basil Fawlty : Please don't alarm yourself. That's only my wife laughing. I'm afraid her local finishing school was bombed.

  • Basil Fawlty : One other thing, Polly. I'm afraid we've abandoned the idea of the topless afternoon tea, so it you wouldn't mind changing before you go in where people may be trying to eat.

  • Basil Fawlty : [to Mrs Peignoir]  Ah, formidable!

  • Basil Fawlty : [to the Major]  Mrs Peignoir is an antique dealer. She's down here for a few days, sniffing around for dainty relics.

  • Major Gowen : By jove, it's warm tonight, isn't it, Fawlty?

    Basil Fawlty : It certainly is, yes, Major.

    Major Gowen : Very warm, phew!

    Basil Fawlty : Oh! Can I get you another drink?

    Major Gowen : What? Oh, well, why not indeed. What a nice idea.

  • Mrs. Peignoir : Do you have any Ricard?

    Basil Fawlty : [blankly]  I'm sorry?

    Mrs. Peignoir : Any Ricard.

    Basil Fawlty : [having no idea what it is]  We're just out of it, I think.

    Mrs. Peignoir : A sherry, then.

    Basil Fawlty : [smiling and bowing]  But of course.

  • Miss Agatha Tibbs : Are you all right, Mr Fawlty?

    Basil Fawlty : What? Yes, yes, thank you very much. Are you all right?

    Miss Ursula Gatsby : Yes.

    Basil Fawlty : [sarcastically]  Good, good. Well we're all all right, then.

  • Sybil Fawlty : Tell them you made a mistake.

    Basil Fawlty : Oh, brilliant. Is that what made Britain great? I'm so sorry I made a mistake. What have you got for a brain - spongecake?

  • Basil Fawlty : [talking to Alan and his family, upon entering their room]  I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, but my wife has made a mistake, I don't know how she did it, but she did, she's made a complete pudding of the whole thing as usual.

  • Mrs. Peignoir : [talking about the classical music Basil is playing]  Ah, it's so romantic!

    Basil Fawlty : Exactly.

    Mrs. Peignoir : Are you romantic, Mr Fawlty?

    Basil Fawlty : No, good god, no!

  • Basil Fawlty : I want to see you at reception in one minute in your hat and coat!

    Polly Sherman : Will they fit you?

  • Alan : I don't suppose you've got a couple...

    Basil Fawlty : Now, look! Just don't push your luck! I have a breaking point, you know.

    Alan : I only want some batteries.

    Basil Fawlty : I don't believe it.

    Alan : What?

    Basil Fawlty : Batteries, eh? You know something? You disgust me. I know what people like you get up to, and I think it's disgusting!

    Alan : What are you talking about? I want some batteries for my electric razor. I want to shave!

    Basil Fawlty : Oh, yes?

    Alan : Yes! I haven't shaved today. Look, see?

    Basil Fawlty : Electric razor, huh?

    Alan : Right.

    Basil Fawlty : Well, that's what I was referring to when I said it was disgusting. It is, of course, disgusting that you haven't shaved, but understandable. I mean, sometimes I don't shave either, and that's disgusting, too. So I shall have a razor sent up to your room straightaway. Thank you so much, good night.

  • Basil Fawlty : Well, I'd better go and see who that is, then, Sybil. I expect it's some key who forgot to get the guest for their door, or something like that.

  • Jean : [asking about a hotel room]  Well, is... is it airy?

    Basil Fawlty : Well, there's air in it.

  • Alan : Do you know if there's a chemist still open?

    Basil Fawlty : I suppose you think this is funny, do you?

    Alan : Funny?

    Basil Fawlty : Ha, ha, ha.

    Alan : No, no. I really want to know.

    Basil Fawlty : Oh, do you? Well, I don't. So far as I know, all the chemists are shut. You'll just have to wait till tomorrow. Sorry. Bit of a blow, I imagine.

  • Basil Fawlty : I was just saying please do stay, my wife made a most dreadful mistake.

    Mr. Lloyd : Yes, I think she probably did.

  • Mrs. Peignoir : Your wife shouldn't leave you with strange women.

    Basil Fawlty : Oh well, I... I wouldn't call you that strange.

  • Basil Fawlty : She's an antique dealer, you know. I mean, she deals in antiques. She's not frightfully old or anything.

  • Basil Fawlty : Where's Manuel?

    Sybil Fawlty : We've given him the evening off, dear. It's his birthday.

    Basil Fawlty : I mean, how old is he? Two and a half?

  • Basil Fawlty : Try to control yourself. Where do you think you are, Paris?
