The whole darn town knows about her previous stealing spree and they don't take kindly to that kind of behavior. Some think she's no-good. How's she supposed to justify accepting a whole box of frozen dinners or oil for the pick-up?

Quotes:

Mrs. Ferret: Have you been fired?::Ferret: [brushing it off] Fired? [laughs] Hahaha! Fired? Hahahaha [more nervous now]::Mrs. Ferret: Then why is the car for sale? [we see the car through the house window; in the side window there is a crudely written sign saying FORSALE]::Ferret: Oh that? That's a mistake. That's one of Rimmer's cockups. That should read Fors Ale. A new beer we're advertising. [as giving a slogan] Fors Ale - keeps you hearty and hale.::Mrs. Ferret: Well I've never heard of it.::Ferret: And you may never! Very hush hush.

Ferret: The survey shows that... [realizing the survey asked the wrong question]... it shows that 90% of English families do not eat boot polish for breakfast.

Michael Rimmer: [schmoozing] Hugh, I loved your speech on abortion. It was really gorgeous.

Priest: Have you been able to find time for the survey in regard to the declining attendance in England's churches?::Michael Rimmer: Yes, we have.::Priest: We've tried everything, you know... cutthroat bingo, hallucinogens in the wafers, neon lights for the graveyards, chapels on wheels, fifty-fifty drawings after communion...::Michael Rimmer: Really?::Priest: [grabbing hold of his vestments] And these clothes are a bit out-of-date for the 1960s.::Michael Rimmer: Yes, well, we've done a great deal of research on the results of our religious polls and I believe we have discovered the true root of the problem.::Priest: What would that be?::Michael Rimmer: God.::Priest: I had a nasty suspicion it was that.::Michael Rimmer: It's just that people have a hard time believing in Him. So, get rid of the God and you'll do just fine.::Priest: Interesting. Sort of an "Our Father who *might be* in heaven"...::Michael Rimmer: Yes, very good.

Michael Rimmer: [after seeing Fromage faint] What's the matter with Fromage?::Pumer: Oh, these recent sex surveys have him worn out.

Priest: [on a television interview] I have nothing against Buddhism, per se. It is possible for people to approach God in a great many ways... but there is no need to be silly about it!

Steven Hench: Mr Blocket, you had been on rather acrimonious terms with the late Prime Minister::Blocket: We had our differences::Steven Hench: On one occasion, indeed on several occasions, you described him as a two-faced weasel-eyed git.::Blocket: In the rough and tumble of parliamentary debate things are said that can often be misinterpreted but there was a lot of warmth there.

Ranjit X: Don't let's go into bourgeois things like money! Talk to my agent!

Old woman at party conference: [heckling] What about the Old Age Pension?::Tom Hutchinson: Don't talk to me about "unemployment", young man! I was unemployed before you were born!

Steven Hench: [In radio studio] How do you feel about the violent heckling which punctuated your speech?::Tom Hutchinson: I am not saying that the Labour Party was *responsible* for this disgraceful episode. But I will say this - it did seem to be *organised*. [Looks at Michael Rimmer through studio glass]
