  • O'Reilly: Well, let me tell you, if the good lord meant us to worry, he would'a given us things to worry about.
  • Basil Fawlty: He has - My wife! She will be back here in 4 hours and she can kill a man at 10 paces with one blow off her tongue. How am I supposed not to worry?
  • O'Reilly: I'm tellin' you, if the good lord...
  • Basil Fawlty: ...Is mentioned once more, I shall move you closer to him.
  • [Desperately]
  • Basil Fawlty: Now, PLEASE...
  • O'Reilly: The trouble with you, Mr. Fawlty, is that you worry too much. You keep it up like this and you'll have a stroke before 50. Stone dead you'll be.
  • Basil Fawlty: Suits me.
  • O'Reilly: Just remember, Mr. Fawlty, there's always someone worse off than yourself.
  • Basil Fawlty: Is there? Well, I'd like to meet him. I could do with a laugh.
  • Sybil Fawlty: [smiling] You think I'm joking, don't you?
  • Basil Fawlty: Oh, don't smile.
  • Sybil Fawlty: Why are you smiling, Mr. O'Reilly?
  • O'Reilly: Well, to be perfectly honest, Mrs. Fawlty, I like a woman with spirit.
  • Sybil Fawlty: Oh, do you? Is that what you like?
  • O'Reilly: I do. I do.
  • Sybil Fawlty: Oh, good.
  • [Sybil picks up an umbrella]
  • Basil Fawlty: Now, Sybil, that's enough.
  • [Sybil hits Basil with the umbrella]
  • Sybil Fawlty: [while hitting O'Reilly repeatedly with the umbrella] Come on, then. Give us a smile.
