Season 2 Quotes

02x01 - Kryten Season 2 / Episode 1: - Kryten

Lister: Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it? You lose your keys, it's aliens. A picture falls off the wall, it's aliens. That time we used up a whole bog roll in a day, you thought that was aliens as well.
Rimmer: Well we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?
Lister: Rimmer, ALIENS used our bog roll?
Rimmer: Just cause they're aliens doesn't mean to say they don't have to visit the little boys' room. Only they probably do something weird and alien-esque, like it comes out of the top of their heads or something.
Lister: Well I wouldn't like to be stuck behind one in a cinema.
02x03 - Thanks for the Memory Season 2 / Episode 3: - Thanks for the Memory

Rimmer: I want a triple fried egg sandwich with...
Lister: With chili sauce and chutney.
Holly: You what?
Lister: It's a state-of-the-art sarnie.
Holly: It's the state of the floor I'm worried about. All right, okay.


Lister: Trust me.


Rimmer: I think I'm having a baby.
Lister: It's good, innit?
Rimmer: It's incredible. Where did you get the recipe?
Lister: I can't remember. I think it was a book on bacteriological warfare.
Rimmer: It's like a cross between food and bowel surgery.

Season 2 Trivia

  • Episode 02 - Goof (plot holes): When consoling Rimmer over his father's death, Lister mentions that his father died when he was 6 years old, but in the Series Seven episode Ouroboros, Lister was abandoned as a baby.
  • Episode 03 - Goof (continuity error): When Lister and Cat drop the gravestone, they both grab their left legs, but Cat has the cast on his right leg later.
  • Episode 01 - Goof (miscellaneous): When Lister is wearing his foul-smelling moon boots, it seems as though Rimmer can smell them due to his expression and Lister telling him his eyes are watering, even though he denies it. As a hologram, Rimmer shouldn't be able to smell.
  • Episode 06 - Goof (continuity error): When the male Lister and Rimmer are in the sleeping quarters of the parallel universe Red Dwarf, a certificate for Arnold Rimmer is on the wall by the window, when it should read Arlene Rimmer.
  • Episode 02 - Goof (revealing mistake): When Rimmer is buried up to his neck in the sand, a close-up shows the sand moving as he speaks, indicating that it's only a thin layer.
