“July 13th, 2008” · Season 11, Episode 4

In this episode: Jeremy Clarkson (13), Richard Hammond (6), James May (6)

[Jeremy Clarkson did not speak during the opening sequence of this episode.]

[On The Stig]

Some say his droppings have been found as far north as York. And that he has a full size tattoo of his face, on his face. All we know is, he's called The Stig!

Now, are there any mothers here?

[A response is heard.]

Yes? Well, Fiat has decided you need patronising.

[on the Fiat Panda Mamy]

What are they going to do next, a Fiat Recently-Divorced Father? With a satnav that only goes to the zoo?

That's quite sad.

That's a good idea, actually, 'cause I've got a Fiat Panda, and I've also got a very young nephew and a young niece, so they could bring out the Panda Unsuitable Uncle. Which has just sort of got a very sharp kitchen knife left lying around.

[on the Dacia Sandero]

Great news!

What?

The Dacia Sandero; I got a new picture. [shows a picture of the Dacia Sandero]

Oooh... [quickly] Anyway,...

[on the Audi Q5]

Hey Audi's bought a photocopier.

No!

[Richard goes on explaining the Q5, saying Audi put the Q7 and set it at 75%.]

Have your mum and dad got a photocopier.

[James laughs followed by the audience.]

Yes.. And it was stuck at 60%

[mocking] 60!?

Yes, all right! Moving on...

[Regarding Hammond and May in Japan] Those two have got so many different connections to make, so many different modes of transport to go on. The chances of them making it without making a single mistake are nil, and if they do make a mistake, that's it.

[Cut to James and Richard]

See these manhole covers?

NO!

They're fantastic.

[Cut back to Jeremy]

A boy from Birmingham, and a man with no sense of direction, in Japan, won't win. The end.

[on adjusting the GT-R's Satellite Navigation system]

I want to adjust the scale on my satnav, but it's all in Japanese. Won't dare touch it in case it all just goes off, and then I'd be DOOMED!

[on his provided Japanese snacks]

That is just a fish... lightly killed and then put in a bag. The marvellous thing is that Richard Hammond won't be able to enjoy any of this, because he won't eat anything unless it's come from a burger van on the A38. [Imitating Richard while chewing of a piece of fish] "I don't like cheese! It's full of bacteria and I don't like fish."

[cut to a shot of Richard and James in a small shop, looking in the cooler.]

Mate, it's all fish.

Yeah, it's good for you.

Don't like fish.

Well, you've come to the wrong country.

I have seen X-Factor winners less cheerful than all petrol pump attendants are in Japan.

[to the petrol pump attendant] Look at this.

[Jeremy puts on his Bill Oddie face-mask]

Brrrrr! How frightening's that? He can spot your beaver from about a mile away.

Speed camera coming up! [puts the Bill Oddie face-mask on and races past the camera, on the pretence that Oddie will get the speeding ticket and not him]

[while on a cable car to Nokogiri-yama]

So at the top here there is a Buddha...to road safety. Wouldn't it be brilliant if we got there and Jeremy's GT-R was buried in the middle of it?

[both begin to imitate Jeremy]

Watch this, I'm here.

Oh dear!

Bang!

[After learning that Richard and James lost]

Honestly, 3 minutes and 12 seconds; that was so close.

[faces Buddha] Thanks Buddha, you looked after him...[breathes hard]...disappointed...

Wait for it...

[Translator device then speaks]

Which is...

Japanese for...

BBoth

Oh cock!
