Kryten[about Kochanski] And another thing is that she keeps her pants in her sock drawer! Do you know how time-consuming that can be to put it all back?
You mean you've seen her pants?
Do you think I like living in this big skip with thrusters? Do you think I even enjoy breathing in on this ship?! And to top it all off, I am faced with a neurotic droid who is completely obsessed with my pants drawer!
KrytenYou mean I'm not alone? Oh, I see. You mean me.
[about Rimmer] I never wanna see or hear from that scum sucking, lying, weasel minded smeghead in my entire life.
KrytenSigmund Freud, eat your heart out.
KrytenPerhaps I didn't make myself clear. I said supper is ready! (He fires, completely destroying the gazebo) Is anyone still unclear as to the supper situation? No? Excellent!
Didn't know robots got PMT!
It's nice, Kryts, really nice.
It's really great!
In fact it's better than nice, it's fantastic!
Isn't it great!
It's really great!
It's really really great!
Are we eating the same stuff?
KrytenI don't know why I make the effort? No one appreciates the hours I put into food prep. My fingers are practically worn down to the exoskeleton!
Is there any Ketchup?
KrytenAny what?!
Ketchup, I thought it could do with a bit of ketchup, just a dollop...
Ketchup?!
Oh my god..
KrytenYou want Ketchup?!
Emmm... Brown not tomato, Brown. It's not like I've got no class?
KrytenWith Lobster? You want brown ketchup?!
It's really nice Kryts, but you know me. I just thought it could do with a bit of a pep up...
KrytenI can't believe it... I simply cannot B...! (His head explodes)
Oh well done bud! Now we'll have to do the washing up.
He's literally blown his top. Cat, can you go and get a spare head?
How come I have to do everything around here? I can't get a second to myself. Cat do this, Cat do that. What am I, a dog?!
[The crew discusses a plan to remove Lister's arm to save his life.]
Can you explain it to me? Something a bit more confidence-stirring than "Can I hack off your limb?"
KrytenThe plan is to inject antivirals in a precise pattern through your body, forcing epideme into your arm.
And then you cut it off. Great plan. What choice have I got?... Okay, but make it my left arm, okay. 'Cause my right arm does all my favourite things.
KrytenI take it we're speaking with the Epideme virus?
Give that man an eyebrow! Hey, I'm feeling generous -- give him two!
KrytenSir, you're awake!
Buddy you look great! (Puts out hand to shake Lister's before realising he put his right hand out)
Forget Red -- let's go all the way up to Brown Alert!
KrytenThere's no such thing as a Brown Alert, sir.
You won't be saying that in a minute! And don't say I didn't alert you!
KrytenFirst, we sabotage the date.
What, "we"? You mean you're gonna help me?
KrytenStep on board the "love express," sir! Now, we get to his quarters through the air vents; I've paid off the guards. Then you make him look like the nerdiest slob in the entire universe. This is what you leave in his quarters. A half-eaten onion sandwich. That's always a passion-killer.
Is it? I like those.
KrytenThen there's this: "Morris Dancer Monthly." What a total dweebo nerdmeister he'll look with those!
They're mine!
KrytenAnd then there's these: tragically unfashionable underpants.
[exasperated] They're mine!
KrytenAnd finally: Christian rock music. It that doesn't scare her off, nothing will.
Have you been going through my things?
[Lister and Rimmer plan to leave after seeing Krytie TV's "Ladies Shower Night," fearing it could damage their appeal]
I want no part of this.
Me neither.
We've gotta go.
Right now.
Not a minute to lose.
I'm dust.
Me too. After two. One, two, go!
[They still sit there, moving their heads sideways, while watching the feature.]
KrytenAnd now, I'm going to stare at a cracked floor tile. [He does so. The other inmates yell in displeasure.]
What's he doing that for?!
KrytenRemember: Shower Night is a Pay-Per-View event. Start filling those buckets!
[Men in "Krytie TV" t-shirts approach the inmates with buckets. The inmates put cans of beer, cigarettes and other items in the buckets.]
I don't believe this! He's running it like a business! There's even a bloke there selling ice creams!
Never mind him. Now. We got to go RIGHT NOW.
I'm going, I'm going.
KrytenAnd now, I'm going to get close and personal with one of the showers, Miss Kristine Kochanski!
[Rimmer and Lister stop as soon as they hear this and slowly turn round.]
Fancy a choc-ice?
[They sit down. Lister pushes another inmate's head out the way.]
You think you outsmart me, yes? But you don't, I here. Cut a second hole.
Science officer, excellent. So pleased you've caught up with us.
You gave me slip, I know. You not want to be erased. But you won't defeat me, I too smart.
Erase me? I thought it was murder to kill a hologram.
No, hologram already dead. Morally, ethically, hologram killing fine!
Fair enough. [Rimmer suddenly pushes her into oncoming traffic, and her image shorts out] Come on, we haven't got all day.
KrytenShe didn't see that coming did she. I did.
Whats going to happen to everybody in the reality we left? The guys all watching us on T.V?
KrytenWell, they will continue to exist as a consequence of us creating them in our hallucination, sir. Its quantum mechanics, every decision that is made creates a new universe, as do all dreams and hallucinations, its multi-verse 1.0.1.
But those sad suckers will live out the rest of their lives convinced they're the real ones and we are characters from a T.V show.
And you know if you tell them the truth, you know what they would probably do?
Laugh.
Yeah. [They all snigger] They probably would.
Series X
Trojan
Kryten, do you realise what this means?
KrytenNo, ma'am.
It means you're a real man.
KrytenIt does? Why?
Because now, like all men, you have absolutely no control over your penis.
[explaining a lateral thinking question.] 'It's 1971, a Swedish man crashes into a tree, what causes the accident?' There's nothing medical, nothing wrong with the car.
[deadpan.] Riiiight, so, um, this Swedish guy drives into a tree, what caused the accident.... Answer's in the back, right?
Right.
[milking it.] Well... That's a really hard one, that. I mean, probably gotta be pretty damn smart to get a question like that right. You know what, I'm gonna go for a moose.
A moose?! [scoffs.]
Yeah, it was in the road, he swerved to avoid the moose.
[checking.] Are you insane? That's never gonna be - it's a moose.
[wandering out.] Sometimes life is good.
KrytenAh, sir, you asked me to remind you, it's ten minutes til your exam-
Kryten, lateral thinking question, just got it myself. It's 1971, a Swedish man drives into a tree, what causes the accident?
KrytenWell, it's a moose, sir, he swerves and hits a tree.
Is it me? How did you get that?
Get what?
I've got something for you. A lateral thinking question.
A lottery what?
Ahhh, I knew I could rely on you. What caused this accident?
[alert.] What accident?
No, no. It's a question, alright? Are you ready? It's 1971, a man-
Was he Swedish?
... Yes?
A moose! [Rimmer sags in resignation.] It was a moose! He swerved to avoid it, and hit a tree! Oh, and the moose is on the road, by the way - not in the car driving. Oww! Yea-ah! [dances out of the room.] Oww! Yea-ah!
