Better Than Life (1988)

Norman Lovett: Holly

Quotes 

• Holly : Loneliness weighs heavily on us all. Personally, the only thing that keeps me going is the thought that we are over 60 billion miles away from the nearest Berni Inn.

• Holly : What's happening, dudes?

  Lister : Hi, Hol.

  Holly : Guess what?

  Rimmer : What?

  Holly : Go on. Have a guess.

  Rimmer : What is it vaguely about?

  Holly : No clues. Just have a guess.

  [Lister and Rimmer look puzzled] 

  Holly : I knew you wouldn't get it. The Post Pod's arrived.

  Rimmer : What? The mail?

  Holly : It's been tracking us since we left Earth. Now we've turned round, it's caught up.

  Lister : Do you mean it's taken three million years?

  Holly : Yeah. Just about average for second class post.

• Rimmer : Look, Casablanca. They've remade Casablanca.

  Lister : Philistines! I mean, how can you remake Casablanca? The one starring Myra Binglebat and Peter Beardsley was definitive!

  Holly : Yeah, I saw that one. Knockout. "Of all the space bars in all the worlds, you had to re-materialise in mine."

• Holly : What's happening, dudes?

  The Cat : We're having a really nice time. I'm dating Marilyn Monroe and also I have another girlfriend who's a mermaid. She's half woman, half fish.

  [turns round to look] 

  The Cat : It's Miranda, my girlfriend!

  [as she comes out of the water we see that the top half of her is a fish, the bottom half is a woman] 

  Holly : Somehow I'd imagined she'd be a woman on top and a fish on the bottom.

  The Cat : No, that's the *stupid* way round!
