Episode Quotes
Rick: [pacing around the room] Meringue... Boomerang... Long, blue, boomerang...
Vyvyan: Oh, shut up.
Rick: I'm trying to free form.
Vyvyan: I'm trying to read.
Rick: OH, REALLY! I learned how to do that years ago. And what is it your reading Vyvian? A bit of Petrarchian verse, is it? A little bit of French drama?
Vyvyan: It's called "SS Death Camp Criminal Battalion go to Monte Casino for the Massacre".
Rick: [snatching comic] That's MY bloody comic.
Vyvyan: Give it back.
Rick: No, Vyvyan. It's mine.
Rick: Anyway, there's no point in reading comics, they're stupid. They treat the kids as if they we're... well, you know, kids. Nothing but war in them. War, war bloody war. Why can't they have stories about love and peace?
Vyvyan: Because it's sissy, you girly.
Rick: I'm not being girly, Vyvyian. Longing for a peaceful world is not being girly.
Vyvyan: It is - It's being soppy and very very girly.
Rick: I AM NOT BEING G - Look, this entire discussion is completely sexist anyway and I don't intend to continue it.
Rick: but
Rick: for your information, it is not soppy of me to long for a world where a man will love his brother.
Vyvyan: Poof.
Rick: You're dilibratelly trying to provoke me aren't you?
Vyvyan: Yeah.
Rick: For one man to love another, Vyvyan, is not poofy. It's actually very beautiful. It's only when they start touching each others bottoms that it gets poofy.
Vyvyan: Oh, shut up.

Neil: Hey, wouldn't it be terrible if we ended up having to eat each other? Like those sailors did in that film, um..."We Ended Up Having To Eat Each Other."
Jerzy Balowski: Well, we're halfway through the show and it's time for a half time report. I think the show has been going particularly well. I particularly like how the young lad, Rick, has been going off the joke into the dead laugh area. Going into the international sphere, they're going to have to face some stiff competition especially from the Swedes with their comedy series "Ooh, Where's My Volvo?" and also, of course, from the French with their comedy series, "Mr. Poo Poo Goes to the Lavatory". Anyway, the half time's over now and it's back to the action.
Mistakes/Goofs
- Goof (continuity error): Rick's buttons change during scenes.
- Goof (continuity error): In this episode the cupboard above the fridge has no doors, but in the episode "The Young Ones" (1982) {Bomb (#1.4)} it does have doors.
- Goof (continuity error): Though the coinbox is there the wall telephone is missing at the at the start but appears during the sofa scene. There it remains until ripped from the wall by Vyvyan much later on.
- Goof (continuity error): The coke can on top of the fridge both disappears and reappears during several shots.
- Goof (revealing mistake): When the threesome enter Rick's room, smoke is coming out of Rick's door. But when they go in, there is no sign of smoke in the room.
