[Basil in hospital, having suffered a concussion, regain consciousness]
Basil Fawlty : [to nurse, a little groggily] My God, you're ugly, aren't you?
Sybil Fawlty : Basil?
Sister : I'll... I'll get the doctor.
Basil Fawlty : You need a plastic surgeon, dear, not a doctor.

[Sybil asks Basil to get her blue bed-jacket from the drawers. He picks up a pink top]
Basil Fawlty : This one?
Sybil Fawlty : That's not blue.
Basil Fawlty : Well, it's got blue things on it.
Sybil Fawlty : They're flowers, and I didn't ask for the one with the flowers, did I?
Basil Fawlty : No, you didn't, quite right. No, I only picked that one up to annoy you, actually.

Sybil Fawlty : And DO try and find time to get the moose's head up.
Basil Fawlty : Ohh...
Sybil Fawlty : It's been sitting there for two weeks, Basil.
Basil Fawlty : Yes, yes, yes.
Sybil Fawlty : I don't know why you bought it.
Basil Fawlty : It will lend the lobby a certain ambiance, Sybil. It has a touch of style about it.
Sybil Fawlty : It's got a touch of mange about it.
Basil Fawlty : That is not so.
Sybil Fawlty : It's got things living in it, Basil. It's nasty.
Basil Fawlty : It is not nasty. It is superb.
Sybil Fawlty : I'm not going to argue with you, Basil, just get it up out of the way. I don't want to snag any more cardis on it.

Sybil Fawlty : I am actually about to undergo an operation, Basil.
Basil Fawlty : Oh, yes. How is the old toenail? Still growing in, hmm? Still burrowing its way down to the bone? Still macheteing its way through the nerve, aye? Nasty old nail!
Sybil Fawlty : It's still hurting, if that's what you mean.
Basil Fawlty : Well, it'll be out in the morning. Poor little devil. I wonder if they'd mount it for me, just for old time's sake.
Sybil Fawlty : I'm sure it's worth asking. You could hang it on the wall next to the moose. They'd go rather well together.
