James[to Richard and Jeremy at the end of the challenge] Chaps...one observation I might have. Sailing: REALLY boring!
[during the news]
James[Talking about digital displays on the sides of roads] Those displays aren't always true, like the microwave in my mate's kitchen. It says "Enjoy your meal" when you get something out. But I won't if it's my pants...
[The other two start ridiculing him for supposedly having no pants on in his mate's kitchen]
[during the news, while talking about Top Gear Dog's new "doggles"]
JamesThose aren't doggles, they're goggles with the G crossed out and replaced with a D.
[Richard's seat has fallen over while negotiating the Hammerhead]
JamesRegain control of the cottage!
[while driving with Jackie Stewart]
JamesThis is probably what will happen to me in hell: A TVR, a racetrack and a pedantic Scotsman.

JamesOdious little man. [After losing ANOTHER game of car football to Hammond]
James[on film clip] It's not wide enough!
JamesNow, look at this, there's a study out here, it says people with those speed camera detectors are 600% less likely to get a speeding ticket than the rest of us. In other news, it's been revealed that people with metal detectors are 600% less likely to step on land mines.
James[On driving a bus] Yeah, it's easier [than sitting here] actually. 'Cause you're not being filmed. So you can have a joint. No! Sorry.
JamesIt is amazing upholstery, I went in there and I immediately wanted a curry.
JamesI'm gonna go off and I'm gonna find one of those ruddy-faced farmers and his organic, rosy-cheeked wife, and get some free-range eggs and... grass-fed bacon, and all that local produce.
JamesYes, it's the Mercedes B-class! Keen students of the alphabet will probably have worked out already that this is one up from the A-class.
James[voiceover] Meanwhile, down in Oxford, the Stig was revealing something new about himself... he has a bladder!
[While racing the Peugeot 207 against the parkour boys]
JamesI'm not going to be beaten by some pre-pubescent teenagers in camouflaged trousers.
