Arkwright at the Till: "I've got it!" as he gingerly approaches the till. He pushes the button and the drawer slides open, he starts to deposit some coins, the drawer suddenly shuts almost catching Arkwright's hand. He lets out a yell.
Granville comes from the back: "Foiled again?"

Do you know all these wonderful quotes verbatim CC or are you just prompted when you re watch an episode?

 

[captain clutterbuck]

Know a lot some off by heart but some I store in a note when I watch an episode again but to be honest when I watch the episode it triggers the old grey matter and I can pretty much anticipate the quote. I can watch them again and again even though I know the scripts I think it remains one of the best comedies ever written as is Porridge with Ronnie B which I constantly watch.
