CLASSIC SCENE

Mrs. Richards Girl, there's no paper in my room, why don't you check these things? That's what you're being paid for isn't it.

Polly We don't put it in the rooms.

Mrs. Richards What?

Polly We keep it in the lounge.

Mrs. Richards [aghast] In the lounge?

Polly I'll get you some. Do you want plain ones or ones with our address on it?

Mrs. Richards Address on it?

Polly How many sheets? I mean, how many are you going to use?

Mrs. Richards MANAGER.

Major Gowen Have you the flutter, Fawlty?

Basil Fawlty No, no, no.

Sybil Fawlty No, Basil doesn't bet on the horses anymore, do you, dear?

Basil Fawlty No, I don't, no. That particular avenue of pleasure has been closed off.

Sybil Fawlty And we don't want it opened up again, do we Basil?

Basil Fawlty No YOU don't, dear.

Manuel [after Manuel loses Basil's money by "knowing nothing"] See, I know nothing!

Basil Fawlty I'm going to sell you to a vivisectionist!
