Best Fawlty Towers Quote or Scene Page 4

For me, the best bit of dialogue is between Basil and Sybil when she's the hospital at the beginning of The Germans.

(Basil walks out of cupboard with broom)
"Right, the game is up!"
(Doctors shock on face)
"Bit of game pie stuck up there!"

Laughing out loud Laughing out loud Laughing out loud

I knew! I knew!

Hello, Fawlty titties.

No! No! I'll not have that! there's a place in Eastbourne.

You naughty Moose!

I always enjoy the following exchange (the more so because it doesn't get much of a laugh).

Mrs. Peignor: (disappointed) Oh. Pas pour tu?

Basil: No. I'll probably have one later.

I reckon you transcribed it more accurately first time around: https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/6413/5#P619976

'That's Brahms. Brahms' Third Racket!'

"Did you ever see that film, "How To Murder Your Wife"? awfully good. I saw it six times".
