Dorothy

That's what I love about going out with you, Gary, it's an endless orgy of glamour and entertainment.

Dorothy's usual, please, Les.

LLes

Refresh my memory.

Dorothy

Vodka in a chipped glass with a dribble of flat tonic and an aftertaste of cigarette ash.

LLes

Oh, yeah. I remember now.

I've had some bad news. Had a postcard from Dermot. He's not coming back.

Dorothy

Have fallen in love with a croupier called Letizia. We're going around the world on her Yamaha. Is that an organ?

No, it's a motorbike.

Dorothy

Send my Polynesian love ball and other important items to my mum. Sell everything else, my saucepans, et cetera, to cover what I owe you. Thanks. Generous of him.

Well, it would be if his possessions weren't worth precisely £16.47.

Dorothy

What does he owe you?

Eight hundred and sixty two quid.

Dorothy

Weather lovely. Rimini has a body shop. Oh. A donkey, having sex with another donkey.

Why doesn't anybody take me around the world?

Dorothy

Cause they know they'd have a crap time.

I've been writing an ad for the newspaper.

Dorothy

Let's have a look.

You'll use it as an excuse for a cheap laugh.

Dorothy

I will not.

You always do.

Dorothy

(tuts). Ah, looks fine. You don't think Jacuzzi's pushing it a bit, do you?

Why?

Dorothy

You haven't got one.

No, but if you whoosh to the shower attachment in the bath, it's just like it, honestly.

Dorothy

Don't you think you should put bath with shower attachment you can whoosh round a bit?

Too many words.

LLes

Yeah. (chuckles) I'll tell you how you can get a Jacuzzi when you're in the bath. (Chuckles)

Les, are you going to say what I think you're going to say?

LLes

(chuckles) Yeah.

Dorothy

Just relax, Gary.

I'm perfectly relaxed. Will you stop using all my bloody water?!

S2 E6 People Behaving Irritatingly
View quote →

[on the way to the countryside]

Dorothy

Maybe I should move down here.

Nah, you'd miss the sophisticated city talk.

Dorothy

What, you and Tony discussing the most comfortable pants you've ever had?

That's a bit unfair. Oh, look at those lovely hedges... so what are the most comfortable pants you've ever had?

S3 E4 Weekend
View quote →

Do you wanna come in?

Dorothy

I'd better not.

Don't worry, we found out where that faint musky smell came from. It was Tony.

Dorothy

No, I'd just rather be somewhere a bit more neutral.

Switzerland?

Dorothy

I shouldn't have come here, but I...

I know. You needed a shoulder to cry on.

Dorothy

No. Just needed someone I could feel superior to.

Dorothy

Rearrange these words to form a sentence: Tony, and, Gary, are, morons, witless.

Morons are witless, Tony Gary... and?

Dorothy

Nearly.

Dorothy

Well, first there was Clive, the one they call Dances With Trousers Down. Then Dermot.

Did I tell you he's got a job at Euro Disney testing the rides?

Dorothy

You see? And now Tony.

[Gary, Dorothy, Deborah and Tony are in a car, lost whilst looking for a rave]

Dorothy

I've had enough. I'm turning back.

[drunkenly] Had enough? Turning back? Are you mad? Are you... madder than Brian Mad of Madcastle? Are you!?

Come on, it's two o'clock in the morning.

No! Absolutely no; we're having a brilliant time! It's two o'clock, and we haven't even got there yet, now that's very fashionable - I read it in a magazine, of, er... well some sort [pauses] or other.

Dorothy

We always said if we ended up as one of those couples who watch television in bed, we'd split up.

(still watching) Close the door quietly on your way out.

Dorothy

Gary, when I was away, did you sleep with a woman?

How do you mean "woman"?

Dorothy

A woman. You know, the ones with what you and Tony call "shirt potatoes".

S6 E1 Stag Night
View quote →

How come you can't drive, Gary?

Some people were born to drive, and some people were born to be driven.

Dorothy

Some people were born to be run over.

View quote →

You know Felicity Kendal?

DDDeborah/Dorothy

She was deliciously pert, wasn't she?

Yes.
