• Major Gowen : What sort of dog is that?

  Mrs. Chase : Well, he's a little Shih Tzu.

  Major Gowen : Is he really? Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear... So what breed is he?

• Mrs. Chase : [Manuel is checking the window for a draft that is disturbing Mrs. Chase's dog]  We have to be very careful, Mr. Fawlty. He's not very strong.

  Basil Fawlty : Indeed, yes. A rapid movement of air could damage him irreparably! If, um, if only one could keep him in air-tight containers.

  Major Gowen : He wouldn't be able to breathe then, would he, Fawlty?

  Basil Fawlty : Well, he could try, Major. He could try.

• Mrs. Chase : [to Manuel]  You make sudden movements like that, of course he's going to bite. Don't you have dogs in Calcutta?
