In this episode: Arnold Rimmer (8), Dave Lister (7), The Cat (5), Captain Hollister (2), Holly (1)

On the morning of Febuary the 26th, at 0800 hrs, did engage in conversation with second technician Rimmer, Arnold J...

For crying out loud, Rimmer!

- the outcome of which was a proposal by the aforementioned Lister to the aforementioned Rimmer to cook him breakfast.

Okay, I'm getting the picture.

Breakfast comprised of two eggs, three rashers of bacon, a grilled tomato, two sausages, a small portion of fried potatoes... and a large quantity of mushrooms. Having consumed this repast, second technician Rimmer, Arnold J. experienced what can only be described as a "voyage to trip-out city". To whit, a major hallucinogenic fit.

Lister, is this true?

No, sir. I'm sure it was only one egg.

The aforementioned Rimmer, to whit, me, then attended inspection parade. He was totally naked except for a pair of mock-leather driving gloves and some blue swimming goggles. Under the influence of this psychadelic breakfast he went on to attack two senior officers, believing them to be giraffes who were armed and dangerous

Cat [to Rimmer]: What is it?

It's a rent in the space-time continuum.

Cat [to Lister]: What is it?

The stasis room freezes time, you know, makes time stand still. So whenever you have a leak, it must preserve whatever it's leaked into, and it's leaked into this room.

Cat [to Rimmer]: What is it?

It's singularity, a point in the universe where the normal laws of space and time don't apply.

Cat [to Lister]: What is it?

It's a hole back into the past.

Oh, a magic door! Well, why didn't you say?

Look... In three million years, you'll be dead.

PRPast Rimmer

[mock surprise]: Oh, will I really?

Yes, unless you do something about it now.

PRPast Rimmer

Oh, and what do you suggest I do, then? Eat less white bread? More roughage?

Why do women always leave me? Why do they dump me for men who wear turtle neck sweaters and smoke a pipe? I mean natural yoghurt eaters. "Reliable", "sensible", "dependable", and lots of others words that end in "-ible". They're obsessed with house prices and spends half his life at antique fairs looking for bargains and drinking wine. It's never beer is it, it's always wine. 'What do you want on your cornflakes darling', 'oh I'll 'ave some wine please'.

I was in love once. A Sinclair ZX81. People said, no, Holly, she's not for you. She's cheap, she's stupid and she wouldn't load, well, not for me anyway.

What are you trying to say, Hol?

What I'm saying, Dave is, it's better to have loved and lost than to listen to an album by Olivia Newton-John.

Why's that?

Anything's better than to listen to an album by Olivia Newton-John.

I loved that little lemming. I built him a little wall he could hurl himself off of.

Now kindly cluck off before I extract your giblets and shove a large seasoned onion between the lips you never kiss with.

Wow! I've never been this close to women before. It makes me want to do something. But I don't know what it is. Whatever it is, I want to do a lot of it.

Rimmer, make this quick.

Sir, I wish to place on record that third technician Lister, David-

Quicker than that, Rimmer.

-smuggled aboard the mining vessel Red Dwarf a consignment of a hallucinogenic fungi Titan Mushrooms, more popularly known to the Space Beatnik community as "Freaky Fungus".

Is this true?

Erm, sort of.

On the morning of February the 26th, at 0800 hrs, did engage in conversation with second technician Rimmer, Arnold J...

You'd better have a good reason for this, Lister.

I have, sir.

Why'd you do it?

I thought it'd be a laugh.

Right. Two weeks PD, Lister. Dismissed.

With respect, sir, the penalty for a crime of this nature is fifteen years imprisonment.

Thanks a lot(!)

Rimmer, I said dismissed.

Two weeks?

That's enough.

Two smegging weeks?

I said, that’s enough!

[salutes] With respect, sir, you've got your head right up your big fat arse!

Listen, man, I'm sorry about those mushrooms, you know. I mean, I didn't know... I'm not totally reckless and irresponsible, for God's sake. I mean, when it comes down to it, I'm a pretty straight and honest geezer.

Where did you get them?

I nicked them. They were in a locker. They must have belonged to Headbanger Harris.

Good book?

Yeah, it's alright.

I didn't think you read.

Don't much, but this is good.

What is it?

It's your diary.

WHAT!?

I didn't know you sent secret love letters to Carol McCauley.

Lister, that is my private, personal, private diary; full of my personal, private, personal things.

It's gone public.

I don't believe it! You've been reading it to the Cat?

Only the best bits!

[reading] "Carol McCauley, your eyes are like two limpid pools in the mornings".

Stop it.

"Your hair is like a golden waterfall".

Oh man!

"Plus, those short skirts you wear make me really horny"?

SSuitcase

Excuse me. No, no. Down here. Have you seen a man who's lost his luggage, about 5 foot 10, mousy hair?

No I haven't!

SSuitcase

Oh, no. I bet they've sent him to the wrong bloody airport again!

PRPast Rimmer

(last lines) Please! Before anyone says anything else... I'd like to make a speech. (shouting) GO AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
