• Rick : Gotcha, Vyvyan! Using my ketchup on your corn flakes!

  Vyvyan : Well I couldn't get any milk out of the fridge!

  Rick : Why, what are you, a spazzy?

  Vyvyan : No, there just happens to be an atom bomb in front of the door!

• Vyvyan : [about the person at the door]  It's probably someone unbelievably boring.

  Neil : [Upon discovering who's at the door]  Oh no! It's the TV detector man!

  Rick : MIKE, YOU BASTARD! Why didn't you buy a license? I can't go to prison, I'm too pretty, I'll get raped!

• Rick : Absolutely pathetic! There's nothing on at all! Humph! Don't know why we bother to pay our licence!

  Mike TheCoolPerson : We don't.

  Rick : But haven't we got a licence?

  Mike TheCoolPerson : No.

  Rick : But that makes me a criminal! Right on! Yeah, this will shake them up at the Anarchists Society! Occupying the refectories! So what? This is the real stuff! I'm a fugitive! A desperado! I'm going to form a new union society, right? With me a president! 'People Who Don't Pay Their TV Licences Against the Nazis!' This is only the beginning!

  Vyvyan Basterd : What are you going to do, Rick? Burn your bra?

  Rick : Well, someone's got to do it, Vyvyan. It's very easy to sit on your backside, isn't it?

  Vyvyan Basterd : Not if you haven't got a bottom!

• Rick : [dramatically reciting poetry into the mirror]  Pollution! All around! Sometimes... up

  [raises his eyes] 

  Rick : , sometimes... down

  [lowers eyes] 

  Rick : , but always... around

  [swivels eyes] 

  Rick : . Pollution, are you coming to my town? Or am I coming to yours! Hah! We're on different buses, Pollution. But we're both using petrol. BOMBS!

• Rick : I notice you haven't written the call down in the book, Mike. That's very interesting, isn't it? I mean, we've got this book here to write down all the calls we make in. I suppose you forgot, did you? Well, I wonder how many other times you conveniently forgot?

  Mike : Rick, what are you talking about? This is a pay phone.

• Rick : [gazing in horror at a skin mag Mike has handed him]  You're sick, Mike!

  Mike : If people weren't sick, we wouldn't need penicillin.
