Only Fools and Horses · Season 1, Episode 15

Grandad, Rodney and others in “Unfinished Business”

[At a graveyard, on the brow of the hill, their mother's monument is glowing a luminous yellow in the night sky. It looks radioactive.]

Oh my good gawd...

Is this where you've been for the last couple of days, painting Mum's monument??

It was her favourite colour and we both agreed it needed brightening up.

Brightening? It looks more like a rocket launch!

Well, I didn't know it was going to be luminous, did I?

Do you realise our mum's grave is now going to become a beacon for every Satanist and acid-head in England? There's gonna be white witches dancing round that on a full moon! There's going to be chicken blood everywhere!

What worries me is that it's on the main flight path to Heathrow!

I wish you two could see yourselves; there's Mum and her monument, she's fast asleep, the third coat's hardly dry and you're already quivering in your shoes. Well, I'll tell you this much, I don't regret that I did it, and I will not bow my head to any snotty-nosed town hall clerks and their narrow-minded rules! I shall look 'em straight in the face and say "I am the man who's responsible and I'm proud of it!" [Del takes another look at the monument, grimaces and turns to face Rodney and Grandad] We'll put it down to vandals. Come on, let's get out of here before we get our collars felt!
