“Hancock: You're not particularly bothered about the impending stagnation of Western Civilization, are you?
Sid: No, not really. As long as my horses don't stagnate I don't care what happens.
Hancock: Exactly. The struggle of the human race is nothing compared with your struggle up to the two-bob window at Cheltenham, is it?
Sid: No, it's not.”
Ray Galton & Alan Simpson

“Are you sought out at parties?
No. Sorted out sometimes, and then slung out.”
Ray Galton & Alan Simpson

“Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you? Did she die in vain? That gallant Hungarian peasant girl who forced King John to sign the pledge at Runnymede and closed the boozers at half past ten?”
Ray Galton & Alan Simpson
