Mrs. Richards: (to Manuel) Now, I've reserved a very quiet room, with a bath and a sea view. I specifically asked for a sea view in my written confirmation, so please be sure I have it.
Manuel: Que ?
Mrs. Richards: . . .What?
Manuel: . . .Que ?
Mrs. Richards: K?
Manuel: Si.
Mrs. Richards: C? (Manuel nods) KC? (Manuel looks puzzled) KC?
What are you trying to say?
Manuel: No, no--Que --what?
Mrs. Richards: K--what?
Manuel: Si! Que --what?
Mrs. Richards: C. K. Watt?
Manuel: . . .Yes.
Mrs. Richards: Who is C. K. Watt?
Manuel: Que?
Mrs. Richards: Is it the manager, Mr. Watt?
Manuel: Oh, manager!
Mrs. Richards: He is.
Manuel: Ah . . . Mr. Fawlty.
Mrs. Richards: What?
Manuel: Fawlty.
Mrs. Richards: What are you talking about, you silly little man. (turns to Polly, Mr. Thurston having gone) What is going on here? I ask him for my room, and he tells me the manager's a Mr. Watt and he's aged forty.
Manuel: No. No. Fawlty.
Mrs. Richards: Faulty? What's wrong with him?

Mrs Richards: I wanted a view
Basil: There, through the window
Mrs Richards: I wanted a better view than that
Basil: What did you expect to see, herds of wildebeest, galloping majestically across the plains?
Mrs Richards: I wanted a room with a sea view
Basil: Yes ...
Mrs Richards: I can't see the sea
Basil: It's that wet bit between the land and the sky
Mrs Richards: I can't see the sea from here
Basil (under his breath): If you want a better view, move to a hotel nearer the sea, or preferably in it!

I know that's not exact, but hey who cares

one of my favourite programmes, can't believe they only made 16 episodes (or is it 12?)
but John Cleese (Basil) and Connie Booth (Polly) did get divorced halfway through making the second series, so it is understandable!!
