Rodney(to himself on spotting that picture of Tommy whilst alone in the room) Bloody Hell, he's a big bloke!
RodneyBoycie would scalp you if dandruff had a going rate.
RodneyWell I can't wait to fill out my next passport application form. Mother's name: Joan Mavis Trotter; father's name: Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
Rodney(about Albert) I've said it before, I'll say it again: that man's a right Jonah. I reckon that when he boarded his last ship, the crew shot an albatross for luck.
RodneyPeople round here don't pay £85 for a painting... People round here don't pay £85 for a car.
RodneyFreddie the Frog. Killed himself by sitting on someone else's detonator... What a plonker.
Rodney(upon seeing the chains) What'd you do, rob Mr. T?
[The Jolly Boys' coach has blown up due to Del's faulty radio. Rodney is watching the explosion from inside a telephone booth.]
RodneyCass? You still there? Our coach has just blown up!
RodneyI feel like I've taken a mountain to Muhammad to find out he's already bloody got one.
Rodney(after a failed attempt to call Cassandra's dad, Alan) He's not in. He's probably gone to Manchester to pick up Cassandra, and she will tell him I've booked into a hotel with another woman. He will fire me, she will divorce me, (to Uncle Albert) And it's all your fault! (To Del) And yours!
Rodney(seeing Don) You git!
RodneyYou rotten, lying, conniving git!
RodneyWe are not dealing with a normal person; this is Derek Trotter! Don't you understand, he is sucking the land dry! I'm expecting a visit from Lenny Henry and Bob Geldof any minute!
Rodney(when Del says that he enjoys hanging with his friends rather than spending time with Raquel and Damien) Just who are your mates, Del? Denzil is a man who eats porridge with a wig in it, Trigger is a roadsweeper who gives pet names to his teeth, and then we have Boycie the freemason, a total snob who thinks anyone with a quid less than him is a peasant.
