Look, I'm trying to navigate at faster than the speed of light, which means that before you see something, you've already passed through it. Even with an IQ of 6000, it's still brown-trousers time.
David Lister, Technician, 3rd class. Captain's remarks: "Has requested sick leave due to diarrhea on no less than 500 occasions. Left his previous job as a supermarket trolley attendant after ten years because he didn't want to get tied down to a career. Promotion prospects: zero."
Arnold Rimmer, Technician, 2nd Class. Captain's remarks: "There's a saying amongst the officers: If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well. If it's not worth doing, give it to Rimmer. He aches for responsibility, yet constantly fails the Astro-navigation exam. Astoundingly zealous, possibly mad; probably has more teeth than brain cells. Promotion prospects: comical."
Abandon ship! Abandon ship! Black hole approaching! This is not a drill. This is a drill! [pneumatic drill sound] Abandon shi- Oh God, now the siren's bust.... Awooga! Awooga! Abandon ship!
[after Starbug lodges itself in the back end of a super enlarged rat on the nanobot rebuilt Red Dwarf]
Hope we don't get stopped by the cops, they don't like it when you're rat arsed.
Scenes with Holly 37
[After an incident in the hologram control room, Rimmer appears to have no legs]
Probably not serious, don't panic.
Well, if it's not serious when your genitals can wander off on their own, I'd like to know what is!
[Holly has challenged the man to a game of chess for control of Red Dwarf]
Queen to rook eight, checkmate.
That's an illegal move.
Oh, yea. Queens don't move like that. I was thinking of poker.
(Rimmer groans inwardly)
Bishop to knight five, double check and mate, sucker!
Oh yea, didn't see that.
We are talking jape of the decade. We are talking April, May, June, July & August fool. Yes, that's right... I am Queeg.
WHAT??!!
Queeg never existed, it was me all along.
WHAT??!!
Wheeze of the week, mate!
WHAT??!!
"Going around in circles for 14 months." "Getting all my information from The Junior Colour Encyclopedia of Space." The respect you have for me is awesome, innit?
Are you tellin' me you staged the whole thing??
(in Queeg's voice) That's right, suckers! (in his normal voice) And the moral of the story is... appreciate what you've got, because basically, I'm fantastic!
[fuming] Lister and mother. It's a dream come true.
[disguised as Rimmer's mother] He's so energetic! I honestly thought my false teeth were going to fall out!
How lovely.
The positions he bent me into...!
Terrific. That sounds enchanting. Well done.
And the things this boy can do with Alphabetti Spaghetti...!
Cool it, Arnie!
ALPHABETTI SPAGHETTI?!?! [the Polymorph drains his anger]
They're all dead. Everybody's dead, Dave.
Peterson isn't, is he?
Everybody's dead, Dave!
Not Chen!
Gordon Bennett! Yes, Chen. Everyone. Everybody's dead, Dave!
Rimmer?
He's dead, Dave. Everybody is dead. Everybody is dead, Dave.
Wait. Are you trying to tell me everybody's dead?
Should've never let him out in the first place....
Jean-Paul Sartre said Hell was being locked forever in a room with your friends.
Holly, all his mates were French!
Holly, why Rimmer's hologram? Why'd you have to bring Rimmer's hologram back? He was the most unpopular man on board this ship. I mean, he even had to organise his own surprise birthday parties!
Who should I have brought back, then?
Anyone! Chen, Petersen! I mean even Hermann Göring would've been more of a laugh than Rimmer! I mean, OK, he was a drug-crazed, Nazi transvestite, but at least we could've gone dancing!
[examining markings on the space pod] Hold on... Give me an R... Give me an E... Give me a D.... Give me a Red Dwarf...Garbage Pod! Holly, did Rimmer ever work in waste disposal?
No, Dave.
It's one of our old Red Dwarf garbage pods with the writing burnt off in places. Why didn't you tell him, Hol?
Well, it's a laugh, innit?
