Best quotes from the Saint

Postby nelly_smith on Wed Feb 13, 2008 1:18 pm

I have been watching a lot of Saint episodes lately, and it often strikes me how brilliant some of the language is in them. And Roger is the best at delivering one liners.  :smt007
Which quotes from the show do you find most funny? Some of the quotes that come to my mind at this very moment are the following:

"When you give a dog a bad name, don't be surprised if he sinks his teeth into the seat of your pants" - from "The Better Mousetrap".


or


"I am but a pale shadow of his beauty" - Simon says to a girl who wants to know if someone he is talking about is good looking - from "A Double In Diamonds".

Both are delivered with a French accent!!  :smt003

I agree, nelly_smith, Roger's oneliners are great, and it often made me wonder if he actually came up with them himself.

It always makes me smile when Simon does a particularly brave act, and the female co-star says something like "Oh you were wonderful" and Simon says "Yes, I know!"

This is a toughie LOL I usually dont remember quotes well. But since watching The Angels Eye last night, one quote is stuck in my head. When the rich nephew tell Simon that he is "better that a butcher and the baker", Simon replies: ".....Not to mention the candlestick maker..." Thought that was hilarious.   :smt004
