Quotes 

• Mellie : What are you doing lunch time?

  Ace Rimmer : Not sure, why?

  Mellie : Because if you;re interested, I'll be in my quarters, covered in maple syrup.

  Ace Rimmer : I'm sorry Mellie, I don't fraternize with the staff.

  Mellie : I resign.

  Ace Rimmer : I'll be there at 1300.

• Ace Rimmer : Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

• Rimmer : [to Ace and Lister]  Yeah, the sooner we get back, the sooner you two can climb into a nice, hot, soapy bath and play "spot the submarine".

• Rimmer : Why didn't you just say: "Dear Rimmer, we're going on a fishing holiday and we don't want you to come"?

  The Cat : See, that's what I said we should say!

• Ace Rimmer : I'm gonna scrub up.

  Rimmer : I'm gonna throw up.

• Rimmer : I don't know what it is about me. All my life, it's been the same old story. It's not easy you know to come in every night, look in that mirror and see a guy nobody likes.

  The Cat : How do you think we feel? We gotta look at it all day.

• Rimmer : I don't believe anybody would want to go on a fishing holiday when they know there's no fish.

  Dave Lister : We used to do it all the time back home. Used to go down the canal. Never any fish in that. We used to go condom fishing. I swear, one time I caught this 2lb black ribbed knobbler. It was about that big!

• Rimmer : You don't like Reggie Wilson? What? Not even "Pop Goes Delius" or "Funking Up Wagner"?

  Dave Lister : I prefer something slightly more melodious like the long, drawn-out death rattle of a man suffering from terminal flatulence.

• Admiral Sir James Tranter : I know this probably won't interest you, but I'd hate myself for the rest of my life if I didn't at least suggest it.

  Ace Rimmer : Suggest what?

  Admiral Sir James Tranter : If you're interested, I'll be in my quarters at lunchtime, covered in taramasalata.

  Ace Rimmer : I didn't know your bread was buttered that side, Bongo.

  Admiral Sir James Tranter : It isn't, I've been happily married for 35 years. It's just, a chap like you can turn a guy's head.

  Ace Rimmer : I'm sorry, Bongo. Lunch is... on Mellie.

  Admiral Sir James Tranter : Would it make any difference if it was hummus?

  Ace Rimmer : I'm sorry, Bongo. I'm strictly butter-side up.

  Admiral Sir James Tranter : Understood.

  [Ace leaves] 

  Admiral Sir James Tranter : What a guy.

• Ace Rimmer : Now, look here, Arnie. You can say what you like about me, but I won't hear a word against Skipper here.

  Rimmer : Skipper?

  Ace Rimmer : A man like him deserves a nickname. I thought Skipper sat rather well.

  Rimmer : Ace and Skipper? You sound like a kids TV series about a boy and his bush kangaroo.

• Lister : [explaining crash procedure]  Sit down, tuck your head between your legs and brace yourself!

  Rimmer : Now what?

  Lister : Open the in-flight magazine, and start reading. The dullness of the articles acts as a sedative. I mean look at this contents list: "Salt, an epicure's delight", "Classic wines of Estonia", "Flemish weaving: the traditional way"...

  Lister : [to Cat]  Don't fight it man, let it take ya...

• The Cat : [Lister, Cat and Kryten try to hide the fact they're going on a fishing holiday from Rimmer]  What's he talking about?

  Dave Lister : I don't know. For some reason, he's got this crazy, whacked-out idea that we're going on a fishing holiday.

  The Cat : Fishing holiday?

  Rimmer : [Reads letter from the boys]  Dear Rimmer, we're going on a fishing holiday to that ocean planet we passed two days ago. We tried to wake you, but couldn't. See you in three days, L, K and C.

• Ace Rimmer , Lister : [chanting]  A wooga, a wooga, a wah, a wah! A wooga, a wooga, a wah!

  Ace Rimmer : What a team. How you got that housing clear I'll never know.

  Lister : Come on, Ace, it was you! I could never have reconnected that fuel line.

  Ace Rimmer : Well, I wouldn't have been able to do it if you hadn't been holding me by the ankles.

  Lister : Well, how could you hang upside down and fix the starboard engine? It was totally brutal!

  Ace Rimmer : What a team.

  Lister : What a team!

  Rimmer : Now I know where I've seen you two, weren't you the double-action centerfold in July's edition of Big Boys in Boots?

• Rimmer : Since the beginning of the Thirteenth Century, Belgium has been the home of some of the most remarkable weaving to come out of northwest Europe.
