Talking Fawlty Towers quotes/appreciation thread

This has got to be my favourite show of all time. There are so many quotes it'd take me hours to type them all, but a few of my favourites are -

Basil: (to Mrs Richards) Well, might I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? The hanging gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically...

Basil: This is typical. Absolutely typical... of the kind of...ARSE I have to put up with from you people. You ponce in here expecting to be waited on hand and foot, while I'm trying to run a hotel here. Have you any idea of how much there is to do? Do you ever think of that? Of course not, you're all too busy sticking your noses into every corner, poking around for things to complain about, aren't you? Well let me tell you something - this is exactly how Nazi Germany started. A lot of layabouts with nothing better to do than to cause trouble. Well I've had fifteen years of pandering to the likes of you, and I've had enough. I've had it. Come on, pack your bags and get out.

Basil: (about Sybil's laugh) Sounds like somebody machine-gunning a seal.

Mrs. Richards: Are you blind? They were on my head all the time! Didn't you see?
Polly: Yes.
Mrs. Richards: Didn't God give you eyes?
Polly: Yes, but I don't use them, because it wears the batteries out.

Basil: Oh, you speak English.
German Guest: Of course.
Basil: Ah, wonderful! Wunderbar! Ahh! Please allow me to introduce myself, I am the owner of Fawlty Towers. And may I welcome your war... your war... you all... and hope that your stay will be a happy one. Now, would you like to eat first, or would you like a drink before the war... AHH! Er... trespassers will be tied up with piano wire... SORRY, SORRY!

Basil: Manuel, my wife informs me that you're, depressed. Let me tell you something. Depression is a very bad thing. It's like a virus. If you don't stamp on it, it spreads throughout the mind, and then one day you wake up in the morning and you... you can't face life any more!
Sybil Fawlty: And then you open a hotel.

hehe. love it.

Now appreciate in your droves, dammit.

Basil: We need to appeal to a higher class of clientele.
Customer: GOT A ROOM?
