Either Mr. Rimmer had the incredibly good fortune to land on a populated planet.... Or.....
Cat...Or what?.
It's too hideous to contemplate!
Enough of this heresy. At the stroke of dawn take them out and kill them. And when you've killed them, burn the bodies, then bring me the cold ashes on a silver plate with a glass of chilled sancerre.
CatThis guy's an animal. Doesn't he know it's red wine with cold ashes?
(After discovering Lister is now just a brain in a jar with fake dreadlocks)
Ohhhhhh dear!
CatWhat? Is he fat?
Far from it, he's lost a bit of weight, actually. In fact, he's lost quite a bit of everything.
CatSo what do we do?
Have we got any chance of winning?
Their craft is greatly upgraded. We have no chance whatsoever.
Then I say fight! (dramatic chord of music)
Kryten (astounded): Mr. Rimmer?
Better dead than smeg!
Ye-es! Cat?
CatBetter dead than sofa-size butt!
Kryten?
Better anything than that toupee!
[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?
CatYou mean you've seen her pants?
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!
CatAre we eating the same stuff?
I 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?
Any what?!
Ketchup, I thought it could do with a bit of ketchup, just a dollop...
Ketchup?!
Oh my god..
You want Ketchup?!
Emmm... Brown not tomato, Brown. It's not like I've got no class?
With 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...
I can't believe it... I simply cannot B...! (His head explodes)
CatOh 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?
CatHow 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?!
Cat[about Kryten, whose head had just blown up] Life without a head. That's gonna seriously put a real crimp on his lifestyle. What can he do without a head?
Apart from being you, hardly anything.
Sir, you're awake!
CatBuddy you look great! (Puts out hand to shake Lister's before realising he put his right hand out)
CatForget Red -- let's go all the way up to Brown Alert!
There's no such thing as a Brown Alert, sir.
CatYou won't be saying that in a minute! And don't say I didn't alert you!
Hey guys, look at me body.
CatNow there is an invitation that will NOT cause a stampede.
Hol: need some advice, mate. We've been cornered by a T-Rex that was formerly a sparrow, and the only thing that can turn it back into Woody Woodpecker is in its stomach. What's your take on the situation?
What do you want -- the long or the short version?
Oh. Long.
You're finished.
CatWhat's the short version?
Bye.
CatI'm walking through the cargo deck, right? Minding my own damn business. When all of a sudden, you know that big tank on G deck?
He means the water tank.
CatSuddenly there is a disturbance on the surface of the tank and this massive testicle shoots out of the water and grabs me by the throat.
He means tentacle.
I hope so.
CatWhats going to happen to everybody in the reality we left? The guys all watching us on T.V?
Well, 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
[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.
Ah, 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?
Well, it's a moose, sir, he swerves and hits a tree.
Is it me? How did you get that?
CatGet what?
I've got something for you. A lateral thinking question.
CatA lottery what?
Ahhh, I knew I could rely on you. What caused this accident?
Cat[alert.] What accident?
No, no. It's a question, alright? Are you ready? It's 1971, a man-
CatWas he Swedish?
... Yes?
CatA 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!
Mindful of the Space Pollution Act, JMC policy dictates the ship should dispose of itself by flying straight into the nearest sun.
CatWhat?!
What about us?
Never mind “us”, what about ME?
