David Horton : This is Geraldine. She's the new vicar!
Geraldine : Hello.
Owen Newitt : No, she isn't!
Geraldine : Why not?
Owen Newitt : She's a woman!
Geraldine : Aaah, you noticed? These are such a give-away, aren't they?
[pointing to her breasts]

Geraldine : Hello, I'm Geraldine. Believe you're expecting me.
David Horton : No, I'm expecting our new vicar. Unless of course you are the new vicar and they've landed us with a woman
[laughs]
David Horton : as some sort of insane joke.
Geraldine : Oh, dear.
David Horton : Oh, my God!
Geraldine : You were expecting a bloke; beard, Bible, bad breath.
David Horton : Yes, that sort of thing.
Geraldine : Yeah. And instead you got a babe with a bob-cut and a magnificent bosom.
David Horton : So I see.

[first lines]
David Horton : [reading] "The wrath of the king was mighty and knew no bounds, and so they did leave that country and did with heavy heart return unto Japheth and unto Gad." Here ends the lesson.
Vicar Pottle : Let us pray. Dear Lord, we ask thee to bless all the members of this thy congregation, and we especially ask you to remember the Queen, who has been having trouble with her piles again, and Mrs. Sinclair Wilson and all her family.
[Alice whispers in Pottle's ear]
Vicar Pottle : Mrs. Sinclair Wilson who has been having trouble with her piles again, and the Queen and all her family. Amen.

Letitia Cropley : Uh...
David Horton : Yes?
Letitia Cropley : Nothing.
Frank Pickle : Would you like that to be minuted, Mrs. Cropley?
Letitia Cropley : Oh, yes, I suppose so.
Frank Pickle : Excellent. "Then Mrs. Cropley said 'Nothing'".

David Horton : Oh for goodness sake, Frank. You are the parish clerk, not Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

David Horton : Are we all here?
Frank Pickle : Yes, perfectly.
David Horton : Not 'can we all hear', 'are we all here'?

David Horton : Right, I call this meeting of the Dibley parish council to order; David Horton in the chair, and Frank Pickle taking minutes.
Frank Pickle : Shall I minute that, sir?
David Horton : What?
Frank Pickle : About my taking the minutes?
David Horton : Do you normally minute it?
Frank Pickle : Well, I like to, yes.
David Horton : Then do it again.
