Quotes:

[Peter discovers Dudley shagging a young woman in his dressing room when he should be getting ready to go on stage]::Peter Cook: If you *do* decide to come on stage, Dudley, make sure you take her off your penis first.

Dudley Moore: Is my entire contribution to this show going to consist of my humiliating myself?::Peter Cook: No, Dudley. We'll do that for you.::Dudley Moore: Thank you. I wouldn't want to be appreciated or anything.::Peter Cook: Well, we initially tried looking up to you, Dudley... but when we did, we invariably found ourselves looking down.

Eleanor Bron: Sorry, sir. The club's full.::Upper Class Man: But I have an invitation. Do you know who I am?::Peter Cook: [to the people in the queue] Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen. May I have everyone's attention for a moment? This gentleman doesn't seem to know who he is. If anyone here recognises this man, can you come to the front of the queue and tell him his name.::Upper Class Man: Fuck you!::Peter Cook: You'll have to queue for that, too, I'm afraid, sir. There's a £5 waiting list.

Dudley Moore: Why do you constantly belittle me?::Peter Cook: Dudley, I don't think it's possible to belittle a club-footed dwarf whose only talent is to play Chopsticks in the style of Debussy.

Wendy Snowden: Everything happens for a purpose. Go with the flow.::Peter Cook: I've enjoyed the plughole immensely. I can't wait for the drain.::Wendy Snowden: It's really weird that this has happened when it has. I'm pregnant.::Dudley Moore: I think that was the U-bend, Pete.

Dudley Moore: You have a generous heart.::Peter Cook: I do have a generous heart. I have a very generous heart. I recently caught it trying to give my liver to a wino.

Dudley Moore: Are you allergic to compassion?::Peter Cook: Only in suppository form.

[about to give a tribute to Dudley Moore on "This Is Your Life"]::Alan Bennett: They wanted a glowing accolade. But I said "No. I'll do an amusing anecdote" - because glowing accolades tend to sound so insincere.::Peter Cook: ...Especially when they are.

Peter Cook: The BBC want another series.::Dudley Moore: Oh good. I'll make it up, you write it down, take all the money, take all the credit, then turn up drunk, and I'll make it all up again.

[1978: sketch prompted by the recent death of Pope John Paul I]::Peter Cook: Hello, mother.::Dudley Moore: [falsetto] Hello, son.::Peter Cook: Did you go to the Pope's funeral?::Dudley Moore: [falsetto] Yeah, I did. It was lovely.::Peter Cook: The way they laid out the Pope was beautiful.::Dudley Moore: [falsetto] Oh yes, son.::Peter Cook: Looking at that dead Pope gave me the horn.::Dudley Moore: [falsetto, shocked] No!::Peter Cook: Yeah, I got so horny seeing him lying in state, I had to have a wank.::Dudley Moore: [corpses]::Peter Cook: Yeah. I came all over the Pope - right across his face.::Dudley Moore: [corpses]

Quotes:

[Four pepperpots have been asked what they would like to see on the BBC]::First pepperpot: I'd like to see that nice Michael Palet doing one of his travel programmes. You know when he says Hello, I'm Michael Palin and they say oh hello Michael how are you. And he says oh I'm very very well thank. What a nice hat you have. Would you like to come in and he says oh good idea and on and on and on.

Eric: Is Monty Python still alive? Well, technically, yes. He is on a wife support system in an old jokes' home in Surrey. When reached for tonight's tribute, he said, "Coo," then asked for a new bedpan. So the legendary wit has not gone with the passing of time... or his colon.

Eric: Well, John's obviously the cruel heartless bastard.::Doctor: [archive footage] Now I know some hospitals where you get the patients lying around in beds.::Eric: Michael's the sweet, slightly ineffective lower middle class one.::Silly Walker: [archive footage] I have a silly walk and I'd like to obtain a government grant to help me develop it.::Eric: Terry is the ratbag woman.::Ratbag Woman: [archive footage] [cackles with laughter]::Eric: and Gilliam is anything with unpleasant makeup jobs. [archive footage of Gilliam with a ferret through his head]

Eric: It's ridiculous, there's no sense to it at all. Why are the Vikings there? Why are they dressed as Vikings? Why are they singing love songs to pressed meat?

Eric: [about 'Sit on My Face'] Gracie would have loved my version I'm sure.

Michael Palin: [archive footage - debate in defence of Life of Brian] Yes, you started out with an open mind.

John Cleese: [archive footage - debate in defence of Life of Brian] 400 years ago we would have be burned for this film. Now I am suggesting we have made an advance.

Famous quotes by Alan Bennett:

"If you think squash is a competitive activity, try flower arranging."

"Life is generally something that happens elsewhere."

"I was an only child. I lost both my parents. By the time I was twenty I was bald. I'm homosexual. In the way of circumstances and background to transcend I had everything an artist could possibly want. It was practically a blueprint. I was programmed to be a novelist or a playwright. But I'm not."

"Those who have known the famous are publicly debriefed of their memories, knowing as their own dusk falls that they will only be remembered for remembering someone else."

"No mention of God. They keep Him up their sleeves for as long as they can, vicars do. They know it puts people off."

"I'm all in favour of free expression provided it's kept rigidly under control."

"Life is like a box of sardines and we are all looking for the key"

"Life is rather like a tin of sardines, we're all of us looking for the key"

"Definition of a classic: a book everyone is assumed to have read and often thinks they have."

"Children always assume the sexual lives of their parents come to a grinding halt at their conception."

"We started off trying to set up a small anarchist community, but people wouldn't obey the rules."

"My films are about embarrassment."

"I write plays about things that I can't resolve in my mind. I try to root things out."

"Life is like a box of sardines and we are all looking for the key."

"Your whole life is on the other side of the glass. And there is nobody watching."

"Cancer, like any other illness, is a bore."

"Were we closer to the ground as children, or is the grass emptier now?"

"I've never seen the point of the sea, except where it meets the land. The shore has a point. The sea has none."
