The Young Ones/Quotes

Matchbox prop: Don't look at me, I'm irrelevant.

Rick: (at TV) Shut up you fascist tories! No one tells me what time to go to bed!
Man on telly: Go to bed spotty!

Rick: Well that'll teach you to mix you drinks.
Vyvyan: I already know how to mix my drinks Rick!
Mike: Yeah, paint stripper and bleach. Lethal.

Fisher: Next Tuesday I'm gonna blow up a panda in Croyden.
Rick: Yeah right on bloody zoos who needs 'em.
Fisher: No a police car you terminal wally.
Rick: What, the pigs?
Fisher: Bastards! If pigs could fly Scotland Yard would be London's third airport.

Hey, kids! It doesn't matter what you are--punks, skins, rastas, Mods, Rockers, Keith Chegwin even! Everybody everywhere, stop smoking and pay attention to me! Because if you're a wild-eyed loner at the gates of oblivion, than hitch a ride with us, because we are riding on the last freedom moped out of nowhere and we haven't even told our parents what time we're coming home!

—Rick, introducing the Young Ones music video with Cliff Richards
