QUOTES:
Vyvyan: Do you think ants go to discos?
Mike: Vyvyan - it has been proved that ants are highly intelligent with a well ordered society - the last thing they'd go to would be discos.
Vyvyan: Well, why's one of them wearing a silver boob tube then?
Neil: Oh wow. I never knew I wore a wig.
Mr. Balowski: "Aw, some sod broke your chair! That's 20 pounds you owe me."
Rick: "What's the difference ? There'll be plenty of chicks for these tigers on the road to the promised land! Who cares about Thatcher and unemployment? We can do just exactly whatever we want to do! And do you know why? Because we're Young Ones! Bachelor Boys! Wild eyed big bottomed anarchists! LOOK OUT !!! CLLLLLIIIIIFFFF !!!"
