JeremyTonight: We try to grow our own petrol; I drive the new Lamborghini, quite badly; And cool-wall muse Kristin Scott Thomas is in our Reasonably-Priced Car!
[on the Stig]
JeremySome say that he sucks the moisture from ducks, and that his crash helmet is modelled on Britney Spears' head... all we know is, he's called the Stig.
Jeremy...and it has air conditioning, unlike the ones in Lambos of old, isn't like being coughed on. By a mouse. [imitates mouse coughing]
Jeremy[chasing May with a pitchfork] May! You're gonna die! I'm gonna feed you into your own machine!
Jeremy[on Lamborghini Murciélago's options price list after mentioning the 'flappy paddle' gearbox was £6,000] You need a flappy paddle head to spend that
[in response to Richard pulling the "Top Gear Production Office"; a prefabricated building with no wheels in the tractor drag race]
JeremyAgain, good effort. But, to my mind, still lacking... ambition!
[Camera cuts to show Jeremy's tractor, pulling the modified Boeing 747-236B used in Casino Royale while Kasabian's 'The Doberman' plays in the background]
[During the opening sequence.]
JeremyTonight: We cut some cars in half with saws; Richard smokes a horse; and who's in our Reasonably Priced Car? Oh, it's his assistant!
Jeremy[on the 1.0L Fiat Panda he has chosen to turn into a limousine] Interestingly is the fact that this car doesn't have an engine. What you get instead is a small field mouse called Gerald And if Gerald runs round in his wheel very very quickly he'll get me from 0-60 in 18 seconds.
[Jeremy on the VW Golf GTi W12]
JeremyMy biggest problem with it is that I can't see the point of saying "I've got a supercar and the great thing is it looks like a Golf." That's like saying "I'm married to a supermodel and the great thing is she looks like a traffic warden."
[on the Stig.]
JeremySome say that his scrotum has its own small gravity field, and that because our producer rigged a phone vote, he now has a new name. All we know is, he's called Cuddles.
[on the concept Golf GTI W12, during the Stig's lap]
JeremyNo CD today, because predictably, the CD player doesn't work.
JeremySo! Top Gear top tip: Ah, if you want a slow car that looks like a Golf... get a Golf.
Jeremy[haltingly consulting the instruction manual of his Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, which is in Italian] Consola centrale con... interatore aperture sportello... rifornimento. [translating] "We are useless Italians and we haven't built this properly."
[Upon hearing the thunderous wash of engine noise reverberating from their super cars off the walls of the Swiss Alps]
JeremyThe hills are alive to the sounds of horsepower!
[During the opening sequence.]
JeremyTonight: James May faces trial by water. Richard Hammond faces trial by fire. And I drive a Ferrari to the moon!
