To a complaining Hotel Guest:
'Do you want to run the place?'
Favourite Basil Fawlty Quote Page 6
Oh Gosh!!! ... there are soooooooo many to chose from, but one that stands out, has to be the scene where Cybil warns Basil about venturing back into betting, where she says something like "you know what will happen if I ever find out you have been gambling?" .... where only in true John Cleese fashion, he replies ....
"You'll have to sew them back on First!!"
Classic TV Moment.
All the best,

Quote: Mrs Mack @ February 24 2009, 2:43 AM BSTBasil: "Is this a piece of your brain?"
That's my favourite line too. They almost cut that out.
Quote: Vicky Pollard @ May 17 2010, 3:29 PM BSTSybil: Don't shout at me. I've had a difficult morning.
Basil: Oh, dear, what happened? Did you get entangled in the eiderdown again? Not enough cream in your eclair? Hmm? Or did you have to talk to all your friends for so long that you didn't have time to perm your ears?
That's my favourite too!
As a classical music fan that lives in a household where no-one else appreciates Ludvig, Wolfgang etc . .
Sybil:
You could have had them both done by now if you hadn't spent the whole morning skulking in there listening to that racket.
Basil:
Racket? That's Brahms! Brahms' Third Racket!
O'Reilly: There's always someone worse off than yourself.
Basil: Is there? Well I'd like to meet him, I could do with a laugh.
"I know. I know. I know. Oh, I know. I know."
"Why is she telling you then?"
"Oh, I know."
These are not real quotes, but I like the names he calls Sybill: "the sabre-toothed tart", "my little kommandant", "my little nest of vipers", "you rancorous, coiffured old sow", "golfing puff-adder", "toxic midget", ...
I'm doing it now tell her I'm doing it now.
