Quotes 

  • 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    Priest : [grabbing hold of his vestments]  And these clothes are a bit out-of-date for the 1960s.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.

  • Michael Rimmer : Don't worry Tom, we'll supply the tears.

  • Michael Rimmer : Peter, I was just jotting down a few reasons why you might want to leave IOP and come over to us at the Fairburn Organisation.

    [hands over cheque] 

    Peter Niss : Oh yes, I see, that's very well put. Yes, I particularly like the noughts.

  • Patricia Cartwright : I've got the Olympic Heats tomorrow.

    Michael Rimmer : I've got the Olympic Heats tonight.
