- (Nell is a student who makes money from gullible tourists whom she takes on walking tours of Oxford which she livens up with preposterous, invented "facts")
Nell: Now we're going to go down to the crocodile-infested river.
American Tourist: Suppose I say to you I don't believe a word of any of this stuff?
Nell: And I would say to you, Sir: "do you believe that all men and women are created equally with certain inalienable rights such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"?
American Tourist: "I hold those to be self-evident truths".
Nell: It's easier to believe in a crocodile swimming in the Cherwell! edit » - Hathaway: You realise what we've got, Sir?
Lewis: What?
Hathaway: The Body in the Library.
Lewis: Now that is definitely facetious. edit » - (While at Dr Hobson's party, a neighbour reported an intruder so Lewis and Hathaway left the party to investigate. Now the neighbour has complained that they were drunk and facetious to him. Innocent rebukes them)
Lewis: We promise not to do it again.
Innocent: Good. You see, the principle behind a partnership such as yours is that the junior officer matures to the level of the senior, rather than that the senior officer should regress.
Lewis: (Chastened) I'll bear it in mind.
(Innocent walks away, then turns back to them)
Innocent: Was it a good party?
Hathaway: Compared with what?
Innocent: Serves me right for asking! edit » - Philip: We argue about what it is.
Lewis: And what is it?
Philip: Nobody really knows. That's why we argue. edit » - Lewis: She bribed me with a postcard of a crocodile. edit »
