“Better Than Life”

In this episode: Dave Lister (6), Arnold Rimmer (5), The Cat (1)

Rimmer, real dumplings, proper dumplings when they are properly cooked to perfection, proper dumplings should not bounce!

True, but after the way I thought they were going to turn out they were quite (does a little kiss) superb! (French accent)

So how's the Cat?

Oh, he's just sleeping off the stomach pump...He'll be alright, the lamb was a bit of a flop though.

The Lamb!? Everyone thought the lamb was the cheese! And that Lemon Meringue Pie, man, what was in that?

I thought you liked that! You bought some back.

Yeah....I wanted to try some out on my Athlete's Foot!

[while Lister is sorting through the mail] You'll send away for every bit of tat, just so you'll have some mail to open.

Me... Me... Me...

"Please rush me my portable walrus polishing kit! Four super brushes for cleaning even the trickiest of sea-bound mammals! Yes, I am over 18, although my IQ isn't."

Smeg! Outland Revenue!

[sarcastically] Oh, oh, oh, oh! Outland Revenue!

8500!

8500? That's a lot of tax, isn't it, Listy? How on Titan are you going to pay for that?

I'm not. It's yours.

What? This is wrong! This is dead wrong!

Relax, it doesn't matter now. Not gonna catch you now, are they?

What? Just because we're three million years into deep space and the human species is extinct? That means nothing to these people. They'll find us.

Spaghettification. Let me guess. I can see only two options: one -- due to the bizarre effects of the intense gravitational pull, and because we're entering a region of time and space where the laws of physics no longer apply, we all of us inexplicably develop an irresistible urge to consume vast amounts of a certain wheat-based Italian noodle conventionally served with Parmesan cheese; or two -- we, the crew, get turned into spaghetti. I have a feeling we can eliminate option one.

I'm just trying to rehabilitate myself, trying to do the everyday, normal things that most living people take for granted.

You've got the skutters to help you.

What? Pinky and smeggy Perky? What use are they? It's like giving Blind Pew contact lenses.

They only do what you tell them to.

Ah, but they don't, do they? You say, "Keep an eye on that lamb", and they do - they sit there for three hours and watch it burn!

[returning to mail sorting] Another one for you. "Rear Admiral Lieutenant General Rimmer".

That's from my mother.

"Rear Admiral"?

Every time I take an exam, I tell her I passed. It's getting embarrassing now. I should be Commander in Chief of the whole universe.

I remember when my dad died, you know. I was only six. I got loads of presents off everyone, like it was Christmas. I remember wishing a couple more people would die so I could complete my Lego set. My grandma tried to explain, you know. She said he'd gone away and he wasn't coming back. So, I wanted to know where, like, you know. She said he was very happy and he'd gone to the same place as my goldfish. So I thought they'd flushed him down the bog. I thought he was just round the U-bend, you know. I used to stuff food down, you know, and magazines and that for him to read. They took me to a child psychologist in the end, because they found me with my head down the bowl, reading him the football results.
