Ok, it had to be done, sweeties! What is your fav quote?

Mine HAS to be in Birth when Edina and Saffy are arguing wether she was
an accident or not...Then Pasty says:
"You little Troll Bitch from Hell..."

Love that quote, sweety darlings!
Well, Cheers!

Mine is when they are in france and Pasty says something like I actually
enjoyed playing ping pong and I was sober something like that.

So many, but today:

"Hello?"
Eddie and Pats arriving at the supermarket expecting a host to greet and
assist them, followed by Patsy grabbing the entire stack of carts in a
huff and attempting to wheel them thru the store! I'm laughing so hard I

One that comes to mind is when Edina had that fly-fobia :)

Saffy: "You were cheching on that fly again, weren愒 you. It愀 been ten
years since you saw that movie! I扉e told you a hundred times, Jeff
Goldblum is healthy, wingless and living happily ever after in LA!"

or when they're pushing the carts past the dairy case, and they're so heavy
Patsy can't turn her trollies and goes skidding past the aisle.....which
reminds me:

"It's like I hit an oil patch at 35 and now I'm just SKIDDING towards the
grave, sweetie!"

what about everyone's fav gag/scene? i love when they fall in the graves.

Has to be "I'm chanting as we speak". Being a Buddhist myself...every
reference they make to the practice is HYSTERICAL. I love how she didn't
even receive the scroll for her alter...she's got her prayer beads hanging
in it.Very funny...

My favorite is when Saffie is going to have her snogging session.

Patsy: Or a blindfold.

humor like that is wasted on us whom dont practice, but the rotten fruit
sitting around her altar is funny. also, the.........statue she worshiped in
TLS (1996) was a good scene
Patsy: Are you still doing that, Eddie?

Well, the way they were talking about it, it seemed more like a heavy
make out session.

Any limes out there want to clear this up?

Great quote - and useful too! So many wonderful lines, but the most profound I
think is "Don't ever make me a cup of tea, Eddie." Then there's Patsy and
Saffy's little interchange in Fashion I think - Pats - "I know you and I
pretend to hate each other..." Saf - "I do hate you."

Which reminds me - what's a snogging session? And does going for a slash
mean using the bathroom or doing a line of coke?

Thanks sweeties,

this one always lost me. where's the humor?

i'm more suceptable <sp?> to humor like at the end of THE END, when Patsy's
panties fall off and they throw them in the bushes. I've seen that happen
before and fall on the ground laughing (to the horror of the people whom have
had it happen to them.)

Snogging is making out, slash can mean a line of coke, but i've heard it used
to use the wazzer as well.

Snogging is snogging! I guess you call it making out - kissing, but not
much more!

Going for a slash, is (as you so politely put it) using the bathroom!
(More specifically peeing!)

So, now I've stumbled indelicately through that minefield - anything
else?!

Hope this helps.

Hmm...there are so many, but these are the ones that hit me today.

In Iso Tank when Bubble has become super efficient
Edina-"I don't want to sit here flicking through magazines. I can't live my
life as if I'm at the bloody hairdresser for God's sake!"

In France, when the little man comes to tell them they are at the wrong
house. It's impossible to write it out, but the sounds they make at him are
hilarious.

I don't remember which episode it's in...
Patsy-"I need a wazz!"
Edina-"Darling, use the upstairs...wazzer."

I forgot one...

When Eddie is in the commune and there is that woman leading the group...

Woman-"You don't have the talking stick."
Edina-"Well give me the...How much is the talking stick? I'll buy my own
bloody talking stick."

I think it's that for Patsy drinking tea (which is what every "normal" Brit does,
right? Especially those of _her age_) would be the ultimate failure...

Also, right after that, the woman throws the stick behind her and
starts to talk...Then Eddy says:
"You haven't got the stick"
"I DON'T NEED THE TALKING STICK!"

I have to jump in here...

The BEST line was Patsy saying:

"She'll be at her ideal weight two weeks after she's dead!"

or something like that.

It's amazing how much the American - English language differs :-) A
snogging session is a lot of french kissing and a slash is going to the
bathroom, jeesh!

All of the episodes are still pure genius to me. And, I love all of your
favorite quotes also since I am fairly new to Ab-Fab. However, for
sight-gags I am helpless with laughter thinking of the camera panning up
from Eddie and Pats among the garbage bags to show they are on a barge on
the river. Also earlier in that episode, when Eddie is overcome by
motherhood and slugs the psychology lecturer is a priceless bit. Another
favorite is when Eddie and Pats are driving to the grocery and jump out of
the car to get the woman who complained...

Liquid lunch for me, Mrs. M.

well, patsy and eddy are usually on the th stoli bolly aren't they? i think
after a certain age people grow out of that (apart from me) and you can just
imagine patsy about 60 years old in an arm chair with a fire burning watching
the telly on a saturday night with eddy going to fetch her her a nice cup of
tea, can't you? it's not really whay you'd call a fashionable lifestyle is it?
