James May quotes from Top Gear

James

How [bleep]ing monstrous is this?

Jeremy

It's... it's, beyond... it's not normal.

Jeremy

I admire Hammond for doing what he's doing. I admire all Arctic explorers. But I think the time has now come for the world to say let's see how easily we can get to the top of Everest. Let's see how easily we can get to the North Pole. I think we could forge a career as the world's worst explorers. [voiceover] Surprisingly, James was ahead of me on that one.

James

What would really make it nice would be a gin and tonic. Would you like one?

Jeremy

What?

James

A gin and tonic.

Jeremy

Yes, I would like a gin and tonic, but we can't have a gin and tonic because we're in the Arctic Ocean.

James

I'll make you one.

Jeremy

What?

Jeremy

Hahahahahahaha! You've got gin!

James

I have.

Jeremy

And because we're in international waters there's no drink-driving laws.

James

Exactly.

Jeremy

Got any ice? [looks around him and starts to laugh] That's a stupid question, isn't it?

James

Could you just slow down so I can slice the lemon for the gin and tonic?

Jeremy

Now this is Arctic exploration.

James

What would those salmon eggs go really well with?

Jeremy

Well, a crisp white, but, um, we can dream on about that.

James

Like a Chablis really.

Jeremy

Yes. So do we get... [James produces a wine bottle] Nooooo, nooooo, James! [breathes in heavily] Look what he's got! Wine! I haven't had any for days!

James

I knew you'd like that.

Jeremy

A week in Resolute and three days on the ice just surviving on only gin!

James

That's very flat over there...

Jeremy

James, we're out.

Jeremy

[rejoicing] We've made it! [lies down on his front] It's flat! It's so smooth, and no more going up and down...! [groaning] Oh...

Jeremy

It had taken three days of almost non-stop driving, but this incredible machine had breached what the experts had said would be an impregnable wall. It had taken on the impossible... and it had won.
