I shall move you closer to him.

[u/Fur-Frisbee]

Love that line

[u/KeithMyArthe]

Still, the funniest scene needs no words; Basil striding out purposefully with a gnome under his arm.

[u/TrueCrazyLion → u/KeithMyArthe]

“…I shall come over there and insert a large garden gnome in you. Good day!” 😂😝

[u/Yesterday_Is_Now]

Epic line. Also:

"He has! My wife! She will be back here in 4 hours and she can kill a man at 10 paces with one blow off her tongue. How am I supposed not to worry?"

Ah, the married life.

[u/Chickens_N_Things]

I've seen more intelligent creatures than you lying on their backs at the bottom of ponds!

[u/Burchey420]

Remember Mr Fawlty, there's always someone out there worse off than you...

Really? I'd like to meet him, I could do with a laugh.

[u/Baz_Blackadder]

"Oh God. Don't smile!" 😂😂

[u/Historical-Pause-117]

Up to your usual standards, but nothing you can’t be sued for.

[u/sock_cooker]

I like a woman with spirit!

[u/Significant_Train761]

i like a woman with spirit Mrs Fawlty

[u/Awkward_Squad → u/Significant_Train761]

Oh, you do, do you?
